At a convention in Washington, D. C.,I met a man who was visiting from a rural community. One night, he got into a taxicab and saw the name Allah on the dashboard.Unaccustomed to the cultural diversity of the city,he asked the driver,“Is that your name?" Shocked, the driver responded,”No. That is the god I worship!"
在华盛顿特区参加会议时,我遇到了一位从农村来的参观者.有一天,他坐上了出租汽车,看见在车盖上写着一个名字—阿拉。由于不熟悉城乡间的文化差异,他问司机,
“这是你的名字吗?"司机感到很吃惊,回答说:“不,这是我所崇拜的神。”
Embarrassed,the visitor was determined not to make the same mistake again. The next time he got into a cab,he noticed a crown on the dashboard,and he asked the driver,"Is that a religious symbol?"
这件事使得那位参观者感到很尴尬,他打定主意,绝不再犯类似的错误。当他又一次乘坐出租车时,他注意到汽车仪表装置台上有个皇冠图样的东西,他便问司机,“那是个宗
教的象征吗?”
"No,"the driver responded. "It's an air freshener."
“不是,”司机说:“那是空气调节器。”
