幽默可樂（Humor Cola）

Drunk

One day， a father and his little son were going home. At this age， the boy was interested in all kinds of things and was always asking questions. Now， he asked， "What's the meaning of the word 'Drunk'， dad？" "Well， my son，" his father replied， "look， there are standing two policemen. If I regard the two policemen as four then I am drunk."

"But， dad，" the boy said， " there's only ONE policeman！"

醉酒

一天，父親與小兒子一道回家。這個孩子正處于那種對什么事都很感興趣的年齡，老是有提不完的問題。他向父親發問道：“爸爸，‘醉字是什么意思？”“唔，孩子，”父親回答說，“你瞧那兒站著兩個警察。如果我把他們看成了四個，那么我就算醉了。”“可是，爸爸，”孩子說，“那兒只有一個警察呀！”

Stupid Question

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

愚蠢的問題

丹在一個大城市的某個俱樂部當守門人。每天都有數千人經過他的門口，而且許多人都會停下來問他：“請問現在幾點？”

幾個月后，丹想：“我不想再回答這些蠢人提出的問題了，我要去買一只大鐘，把它掛在這兒的墻上。”于是他買了一只鐘，把它掛在了墻上。

“現在人們總不會再停下來問我時間了。”他高興地想。

可是打那以后，每天仍有許多人停下來，看看鐘，然后問丹：“這鐘準嗎？”

A Businessman's Idea

A family moved from the city to the suburbs， and were told they ought to get a watchdog to guard their house.

So they bought the largest dog available from a near-by dealer1.

Shortly afterwards the house was broken into at night by burglars while the dog was asleep. The householder went to the dealer and told him about it.

"Well， what you need now，" said the dealer， "is a little dog to wake up the dog."

商人的主意

一戶人家從城里搬到郊區，有人告訴他們應該買一條看門狗來守家。

于是他們就去附近的一個商人那里買了一條最大的狗。

不久之后，夜賊闖進他們家時那條狗卻一直在睡覺。這家的主人去找那個商人告訴他這件事。

“那么，”商人說，“你們現在還需要一條小狗來叫醒這條狗。”

The Wind

Who has seen the wind？

Neither I nor you；

But when the leaves hang trembling，

The wind is passing through.

風

誰曾見過風的面孔？

誰也沒見過，不論你或我；

但在樹葉輕搖之際，

風正從那里吹過。

liquid midnight

By tenth_muse， Wheaton， IL

skip wishes like stones

across the midnight sky； wait

patiently for day.

透明如水的子夜

第十位繆斯（網名，美國伊利諾伊州惠頓市）

把一個個愿望的石子

打過子夜的天空，

耐心等待那白晝的降臨。

A Brainy Quote： The Starry Heavens Above Me

Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe， the oftener and more steadily we reflect on them： the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me. -Immanuel Kant （22 April 1724 12 February 1804）
