有個(gè)人看到漁夫拿著一面鏡子站在湖里。“請(qǐng)問，”他說，“你在干什么?”
"Fishing," the fisherman replied.
“釣魚。”漁夫回答。
"With a mirror?" the man asked, in surprise.
“用鏡子?”那個(gè)人吃驚地問。
"Sure--it's a new invention. I am going to make afortune."
“當(dāng)然了!這是個(gè)新發(fā)明。我要賺一大筆錢了!”
"Could you tell how it works?"
“你能告訴我怎么釣的嗎?”
"Okay, but it will cost you $10."
“好吧。不過你得交十塊錢。”
To satisfy his curiosity, the man handed the fisherman the money. "Now show me how itworks," he said.
為了滿足自己的好奇心，那個(gè)人給了漁夫錢。“現(xiàn)在示范給我看吧。”他說。
"Well," the fisherman began, "you aim the mirror into the water, and when a fish goes by, youstartle him with rays of light reflected from the mirror. The fish gets confused and then yougrab it."
“好的。”漁夫開始了。“你把鏡子對(duì)著湖水，魚過來的時(shí)候，你就用鏡子反射的光來嚇?biāo)?。魚迷糊了，你就抓住它了。”
The man was greatly surprised. "Don't tell me how you fish. It's ridiculous! How many haveyou caught?"
那個(gè)人很吃驚地說道：“你不要說你怎么釣魚了。無稽之談!你釣了多少了?”
"You are the fifth today!" replied the fisherman with a smile.
“今天你是第五條!”漁夫笑著回答。
