069 Stupid Question 愚蠢的问题

外国人讲：

Dan was the doorman of a club in a big city. Everyday，thousands of people passed his door，

中国人讲：

丹在一个大城市的某个俱乐部当守门人。每天都有数千人经过他的门and a lot of them stopped and asked him，“What’s the time，please？”

After a few months，Dan said to himself， “I’m not going to answer all those stupid people any more.I’m going to buy a big clock and put it upon the wall here.”Then he did so.

“Now people aren’t going to stop and ask me the time.”he thought happily.

But after that，a lot of people stopped， looked at the clock and then asked Dan，“Is that clock right？”

1doorman[＇dɔːmən]n.看门人

2pass[paːs]v.经过

3clock[klɒk]n.时钟

4stop[stɒp]v.停下口，而且许多人都会停下来问他：“请问现在几点？”

几个月后，丹想：“我不想再回答这些蠢人提出的问题了，我要去买一只大钟，把它挂在这儿的墙上。”于是他买了一只钟，把它挂在了墙上。

“现在人们总不会再停下来问我时间了吧。”他高兴地想。

可是打那以后，每天仍有许多人停下来，看看钟，然后问丹：“这钟准吗？”
