Being rather bald, I have long been used to comforting myself on a visit to the hairdresser with the opening gambit,“Grass doesnt grow on a busy street.”
However, I was not prepared for the response of one barber,“We always say theres no sense in putting a roof on an empty barn.”
每次去美發中心的时候,我总是以一句自我安慰的话,来提及我那近乎秃顶的脑袋,“繁华的马路不会长草。”
没想到,有位理发师这样应了我一句:“我们是认为,荒芜的土地就不需要有屋顶。”
