第9章 Old Age Eyesight

The old man Sam was a witness in a burglary trial. The defence lawyer asks Sam,"Did you see my client commit this burglary? "

"Yes, "says Sam,"I saw him plainly take the goods. "

The lawyer asks Sam again,"Sam, this happened at night. Are you sure you saw my client commit this crime? "

"Yes, "says Sam,"I saw him do it. "

Then the lawyer asks Sam,"Sam listen, you are 70 years old and your eyesight probably is bad. Just how far can you see at night? "

Sam says,"I can see the moon, how far is that? "

老年人的视力

老人萨姆是一起入室抢劫案件的目击证人。辩护律师问萨姆：“你看到我的当事人犯案了吗？”

“是的，”萨姆说，“我清楚地看见他拿走了那些东西。”

律师再问萨姆：“萨姆，案件发生在晚上，你确定你看到我的当事人犯案了吗？”

“是的，”萨姆说，“我看见他作案了。”

然后律师问萨姆：“萨姆，你听好，你已经七十岁了，你的视力很可能不好。在晚上你能看到多远啊？”

萨姆说：“我可以看见月亮，那有多远？”
