A professor said to the class, “You have learnt the concept of lies. In my bookOn LiesI have discussed this concept.Please raise your hand if you already read this book.” All the students raised their hands together.

The professor continued, “Very good. Now I have a new example for my lecture! My book hasn’t been published yet!”

教授说：“你们已了解了‘谎言’的概念，关于这个问题，我已在自己的《论谎言》一书中写到。你们谁读过这本书，请举起手来。”所有的同学都不约而同地举起了手。
