"You must work in Information Technology ," says the balloonist.
"你一定是在信息技術部門工作。駕氣球的人說。"
"I do," replies the man. "How did you know?"
"是啊,那個人回答:""你怎么知道?"
"Well," says the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically correct, but it's no use to anyone."
"這個嘛,駕氣球的人說:""你告訴我的每件事技術上來說都是正確的,但不管對誰都派不上用場。"

"I do," replies the balloonist , "but how did you know?"
"是啊,駕氣球的人回答:""你怎么會知道?"
"Well," says the man, "you don't know where you are, or where you're going, but you expect me to be able to help. You're in the same position you were before we met, but now it's my fault."
"這個嘛",那個人說:"你不知道你現(xiàn)在的位置,也不知道要往哪里去,卻期待我能幫上忙。我們碰面以前,你的位置還是跟現(xiàn)在一樣,現(xiàn)在卻變成是我的錯了。"
