Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went on a camping trip. After a good meal, they lay down for the night and went to sleep. Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged[用肘轻推]his faithful friend. Holmes said: “Watson, look up and tell me what you see.”
Watson said: “I see a fantastic panorama[全景]of countless[数不清的]stars.”
Holmes asked: “And what does that tell you?”
Watson thought for a moment: “Astronomically[天文学上], it tells me that there are millions of galaxies[星系]and billions of planets. Horologically[钟表学上], I deduce[推论]that the time is approximately[接近]a quarter past three. Theologically[神学上], I can see that God is all powerful and that we are small and insignificant[微不足道的]. Meteorologically[气象学上], I think we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.”
“Why? What does it tell you, Holmes?”
Holmes was silent for a moment, then he spoke: “Someone has stolen our tent[帐篷].”
One day, I accidentally overturned[推翻]my golf cart[高尔夫球车].
Elizabeth, a very beautiful and keen[热心的]golfer, who lived in a villa[别墅]on the golf course[高尔夫球场], heard the noise and asked,“Are you okay? What’s your name?”
“It’s Jack, and I’m fne, thanks,” I replied.
“Jack, forget your troubles. Come to my villa, rest
for a while, and I’ll help you get the cart up later.”
“That’s nice of you,” I answered,
“but I don’t think my wife would like it.”
“Oh, come on,” Elizabeth insisted.“Well, okay,” I finally agreed, and
added, “but my wife won’t like it.”
After a drink and some fruit, I said, “I feel a lot better now, but I know my wife is going to be really upset.”
“Don’t be silly!” Elizabeth said with a smile, “She won’t know anything. By the way, where is she?”
“Under the cart,” I said.
The loaded[装满的]mini-van[小型多功能厢式车]pulled into the campsite[营地]. Four children leaped[跳]from the vehicle and began excitedly setting up the tent. The boys rushed to gather frewood[木柴], while the girls and their mother set up the camp stove[炉]and cooking utensils[器具].
A nearby camper[露营者]was surprised and asked the father, “That, sir, is some display[展示]of teamwork.”
The father replied, “I have a system—no one goes to the bathroom until the camp is set up.”
