英語幽默小故事帶翻譯:Real criticism 點到痛處(中英雙語)
19.Real criticism
19.點到痛處
As a young lawyer working on my first big case,I was sitting in federal district court watching a prominent attorney question a witness. The attorney was trying,unsuc-cessfully, to elicit certain information. Finally the judge turned to the witness and asked a question that prompted the appropriate response.
作為一個年徑的律師,當我經手第一個大案時,我坐在聯邦區法院里現看一名有聲望的律師提問證人。這位律師多次試圖引出證人說出有用的證詞,但都失敗了。最后該法官來問證人了,只見他跟證人說了一句話,就從證人那兒得到了滿意的回答。
"Thank you,Your Honor,"the attorney said. "How is it that you were able.to get the crux of the matter with one question after I had tried three times?"
“謝謝,尊敬的閣下.”律師說:“您跟他說了句什么就解決了我連問三次都問不出來的難題的呢?”
"Easy,"replied the judge. "I'm not paid by the hour.”
“容易,”法官說:“道理很簡單,我不是按小時拿錢。”
