我对历史懂得不多
"Would you mind telling me, Doctor," Bob asked ..." how you detect a mental deficiency in somebody who appears completely normal?"
"Nothing is easier," he replied. "You ask him a simple question which everyone should answer with no trouble. If he hesitates, that puts you on the track."
" Well, What sort of question?"
"Well, you might ask him, 'Captain Cook made three trips around the world and died during one of them ,Which one?' "
Bob thought for a moment, and then said with a nervous laugh, "You wouldn't happen to have another example, would you? I must confess I don't know much about history."
“大夫,”鲍伯问,“您能跟我说下吗,怎么才能知道一个表现得完全正常的人有智力缺陷?”
“没比这更容易的事了,”大夫说,“你问他一个谁都能轻松回答的简单问题,如果他拿不准,那你就有谱了。”
“哦,那什么样的问题呢?”
“这样,你可以问他‘库克船长做过三次环球旅行,并在其中一次死去,是哪一次?’。”
鲍伯想了一会儿,然后紧张地笑着说:“您不会正好没别的问题了吧,还有别的么?我得老实说,我对历史懂得不多。”
