笑話習題簿11.1.16
A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me, can you help? I promised a friend I would meet him an hourago, but I don't know where I am."
The woman below replied, "You are in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You are between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude."
"You must be an engineer," said the balloonist.
"I am," replied the woman. "How did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of you, and the fact is I am still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help so far."
The woman below responded, "You must be in management."
"I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"
"Well," said the woman, "you don't know where you are or where you are going. You have risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault!" 一個男人在熱氣球上,發現自己迷失了方向。他下降高度,下方有一個婦女。他又下降了一點,大聲呼喊,"打擾下,你能幫個忙嗎,一個小時以前我答應了一個朋友要和他見面,但現在我不知道我身處何地。”
婦女在下面回答,“你在一個熱氣球里,大約離地面三十英尺。你在北緯40-41度之間,西經59-60度之間。”
“你必定是個工程設計師,”氣球上的男人說。
“我是,”女人回答。“你是怎么知道的?”
“是這樣,”氣球上的男人說“你告訴我的事在技術上都是正確的,但是我無法理解你的看法,事實是我依舊迷失。坦白說,到目前為止你沒幫上我多少。”
下面的婦女回應道,“你一定是在管理部門工作。”
“我是,”氣球上的男人回答,“這你是怎么知道的?”
“是啊,”婦女說,“你總是不知道你在哪里,也不知道你要去哪里。你的上升,是由于大量的熱氣。你對別人許下的承諾,你不知道如何履行,而且你還期望在你下面的人會解決你的問題。事實就是在我們見面之前,我們都在完全相同的立場上,可現在,不知怎么地,卻成了我的錯了。”練習:
到底是誰的錯?
答案:
兩個人的錯。
