151.聰明的孩子
It was the first day of school and a new student,the son of a Japanese businessman,entered the fourth grade.The teacher greeted the class and said,“Let’begin by reviewing some American history. Who said 'Give me liberty,or give me death'?"
開學的頭一天,四年級來了一個新生。這是一個日本商人的兒子。老師跟全班打了招呼,并說:“我們先來復習一些美國的歷文。誰曾經說過‘要么就讓我死,要么就給我自由’?”
She saw only a sea of blank faces except for that of Toshiba,who had his hand up. "Patrick Henry,1775,"said the boy.“Now,”said the teacher,“Who said 'Government of the people,by the people,for the people shall not perish from the earth'?”
老師看到的好像是一片空白的臉,只有那位“東芝”舉了手回答說:“亨利·柏垂克,1775年。”
Again, no response except from Toshiba:”Abraharn Lincoln,1863. "
老師又說:“好,誰說過‘民有、民治、民享的政府不會從地球土消失’?”
The teacher snapped at the class,"You should be ashamed. Toshiba,who is new to our country,knows more about it than you do."
然而除了東芝以外全班仍沒有任何反應。
As she turned to write something on the blackboard,she heard a loud whisper:"Damned Japanese.”
“林肯, 1863年。”
"Who said that?"she demanded.
老師沖著全班打了一個響指說:“你們應感到害躁,這個新來我們國家的東芝比你們知道的都多。”
Toshiba put his hand up. "Lee Jacocca,1982. "he said.
當老師在黑板上寫字時,聽到一聲咒罵:“該死的日本人!”
老師問:“誰說的?”
