How Did You Ever Get Here
One winter morning, an employee explained why he had shown up for work 45 minutes late. It was so slippery out that for every step I took ahead, I slipped back two.
The boss eyed him suspiciously1. Oh, yeah? Then how did you ever get here?
I finally gave up, he said, and started for home.
你是如何回来的?
一个冬季的早晨,一名雇员讲解他为何迟到了四十五分钟才起来上班。外面太滑了,我每向前迈一步,就要向后退两步。
老板狐疑地看着他,噢,是吗?那你是如何到这里来的?
后来我决定舍弃,他说,然后我就往家走。
