　　An old man and a young man are traveling on the train.

　　一個老人和一個年輕人乘火車旅行。

　　The young man asks:“Excuse me, what time is it?” The old man does not answer. “Excuse me, sir, what time is it?”

　　年輕人問：“對不起，請問現在幾點了?”老人沒有說話。“對不起，現在幾點了?”

　　The old man keeps silent. “Sir, I’m asking you what time is it. Why don’t you answer?!” The old man says: “Son, the next stop is the last on this route. I don’t know you, so you must be a stranger. If I answer you now, I’ll have to invite you to my home. You’re handsome, and I have a beautiful daughter. You duanwenw will both fall in love and you will want to get married. Tell me, why would I need a son-in-law who can’t even afford a watch?

　　老人還是一言不發。“先生，我在問你現在幾點了。你為什麼不回答我?”老人這才開口說道：“孩子，下一站就是終點站了。我沒見過你，所以我們是陌生人。假如我現在告訴你，或許我就要被迫邀請你去我家做客。你長得很英俊，剛好我有一個漂亮的女兒，那樣你們會相愛並且結婚。你想想，你連手錶都買不起，我為什麼要選你當女婿呢?”

　　：作弊者Cheater

　　In class one day, Mr. Johnson pulled Johnny over to his desk after a test, and said, “Johnny, I have a feeling that you have been cheating on your tests.”

　　考試後的一天，約翰遜先生在課堂上把強尼拉到講臺旁邊問道：“強尼，我認為你在這次考試中作弊了。”

　　Johnny was astounded and asked Mr. Johnson to prove it. “Well,” said Mr. Johnson, “I was looking over your test and the question was, ‘Who was our first president?’, and the little girl that sits next to you, Mary, put ‘George Washington’, and so did you.”

　　強尼非常驚訝，要求約翰遜先生拿出證據。“好的，”約翰遜先生說，“我看到你的試卷上有這樣一個問題：‘我們的第一任總統是誰?’緊挨著你的那個名叫瑪麗的女孩寫的是‘喬治·華盛頓’，你寫的也是這個答案。”

　　“So, everyone knows that he was the first president.”

　　“當然，每個人都知道他是我們的第一任總統。”

　　“Well, just wait a minute,” said Mr. Johnson. “The next duanwenw question was. ‘Who freed the slaves? Mary put ‘Abraham Lincoln’, and so did you.”

　　“噢，等一下，”約翰遜先生說，“下一個問題是：‘誰解放了黑奴?’瑪麗的答案是‘亞伯拉罕·林肯’，你的答案也是一樣。”

　　“Well, I read the history book last night and I remembered that,” said Johnny.

　　“噢，我昨天晚上歷史書，我記得。”強尼說。

　　“Wait, wait,” said Mr. Johnson. “The next question was,‘Who was president during the Louisiana Purchase?’ Mary put ‘I don’t know’, and you put, ‘Me neither’.”

　　“等等，等等，”約翰遜先生說，“下一個問題是：‘誰在路易斯安娜大收購時期當了總統?’瑪麗寫的是‘我不知道’，而你寫的則是：‘我也不知道’。”

　　：心理學Psychology

　　Several international businessmen were on a conference cruise when the ship began to sink. “Go and tell those fellows to put on life jackets and jump overboard,” the captain directed his first mate.

　　幾位來自不同國家的商人正在一艘遊覽船上開會，這時船開始下沉。船長指揮他的助手說：“去告訴那些人穿上救生衣，往水裡跳。”

　　A few minutes later the first mate returned. “Those guys duanwenw won’t jump,”he reported. “Take over,” the captain ordered， “and I’ll see what I can do.”

　　幾分鐘後，助手回來報告：“這些人不肯往水裡跳。”“交給我吧，”船長命令道，“看我是怎麼做的。”

　　Returning moments later, he announced, “They’ve gone.”

　　沒過多久，船長回來說：“他們都跳下去了。”

　　“How’d you do it?” asked the first mate.

　　“你是怎麼做到的?”助手問。

　　“I used psychology. I told the duanwenw Englishman it was the sporting thing to do, and he jumped. I told the Frenchman it was chic; the German that it was a command; the Italian that it was forbidden.”

　　“我運用了心理學。我告訴英國人這是體育鍛練，他就跳了。我告訴法國人這是流行的事，我告訴德國人這是命令，我告訴義大利人這是被禁止的。”

　　“And how did you get the American to jump?”

　　“那你是怎樣讓美國人跳的?”

　　“No problem,” said the captain. “I told him he was insured!”

　　“很簡單，”船長說，“我告訴他，他已經上了保險了。”
