Holmes:“And what does that tell you?”
Watson:“Astronomically,it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.Theologically,it tells me that God is great and that we are small and insignificant.Meteorologically,it tells me that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.What does it tell you?”
Holmes:“Somebody stole our tent.”
福爾摩斯和華生醫(yī)生到戶外野營。晚上,當(dāng)他們躺下后,福爾摩斯說:“華生,看看夜空,告訴我你看到了什么。”
華生說:“我看到了數(shù)以百萬計(jì)的星星?!?
福爾摩斯:“這告訴你什么呢?”
華生:“從天文學(xué)上說,它表明,那兒有幾百萬的星系,并可能存在數(shù)億行星。從神學(xué)上說,它表明,上帝很偉大,而我們很渺小,微不足道。從氣象學(xué)上說,它表明,我們將有一個美好的明天。那么,它告訴了你什么?”
福爾摩斯:“有人偷了我們的帳篷。”
