The Best Patient 8 March 2008
话说一日，五位美国外科医生闲磕牙，讨论哪种病人在手术台上最受欢迎。 One day, five American surgeons are discussing who makes the best patients on the operating table. 第一位医生说：“会计师最好，你把他的腹腔打开一看，里面什么东西都已经编了号了。” The first surgeon says, "I like to see accountants on my operating table, because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered." 第二位医生说：“电工师傅最好。你把他打开一看，每个部分都已经用颜色作了标记了。” The second responds, "Yeah, but you should try electricians! Everything inside them is color coded." 第三位医生说：“图书管理员最好。你把他打开一看，所有的部件都已经按字母顺序排列好了。” The third surgeon says, "No, I really think librarians are the best; everything inside them is in alphabetical order." 第四位医生反驳道：“要说还是建筑工人最好。他们很理解为什么我们有时候会把小剪子小布头之类的东东留在他的肚子里。人嘛，总有丢三拉四的时候。” The fourth surgeon disagrees: "Nay, I like construction workers. Those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over at the end. We're humans, human can't avoid making errors." 第五位医生发飚了：“扯淡！告诉你们吧，谁也比不上俺们的国会议员。很多次俺打开一看，发现里面没心没肺没脊梁骨，屁股和脑袋还能互换，长得太为俺们外科医生着想了。” But the fifth surgeon shuts them all up when he observes: "You're all wrong. Some of our Congressmen are the easiest to operate on. There's no guts, no heart, and no spine, and the head and butt are interchangeable." Previous:Human Nature?
