妃子笑

Two men were digging a ditch on a very hot day. One said to theother, "Why are we down in this hole digging a ditch when our boss isstanding up there in the shade of a tree?" "I don’t know," respondedthe other. "I’ll ask him."
　　
　　    两个男人在烈日底下辛苦地挖沟. 其中一个人就问另外一个: “为什么我们在这里辛辛苦苦地劳动而老板却在树荫底下乘凉呢?”
　　
　　    “不知道,”另外那个男人说, “我去问问他.”
　　
　　　　So he climbed out of the hole and went to his boss. "Why are wedigging in the hot sun and you’re standing in the shade?""Intelligence," the boss said. "What do you mean, ‘intelligence’?"
　　
　　    于是他从沟里爬出来走向老板, “为什么我们在劳动而你却在享受?”
　　
　　“智慧…”老板很悠闲地说.
　　
　　“智慧? 你什么意思?”
　　
　　　　The boss said, "Well, I’ll show you. I’ll put my hand on this treeand I want you to hit it with your fist as hard as you can." The ditchdigger took a mighty swing and tried to hit the boss’ hand. The bossremoved his hand and the ditch digger hit the tree. The boss said,"That’s intelligence!"
　　
　　　　老板开口了: “我来做给你看吧. 我把手贴到这颗树上, 然后你狠狠地打我的手.”
　　
　　    于是那个工人卯足了力气一拳打了过去, 结果老板缩回了手, 工人一拳砸在了树上.
　　
　　    老板得意地说: “瞧, 这就是智慧.”
　　
　　　　The ditch digger went back to his hole. His friend asked, "What didhe say?" "He said we are down here because of intelligence." "What’sintelligence?" said the friend. The ditch digger put his hand on hisface and said, "Take your shovel and hit my hand."
　　
　　    工人抱着受伤的手垂头丧气地走回壕沟, 他的同伴就问了: “老板说什么?”
　　
　　“他说我们是因为智慧的原因所以在这里挖沟”
　　
　　“那什么是智慧啊?” 他的同伴一脸疑问.
　　
　　于是那个工人很兴奋地把手放到自己脸上, 说: “拿起你的铲子, 狠狠打我的手!”
