英汉双语笑话：Virtue 美德
virtue
many years after receiving my graduate degree, i returned to the state university of new york at binghamton as a faculty member. one day in a crowded elevator, someone remarked on its inefficiency. i said the elevators had not changed in the 20 years since i began there as a student.
when the door finally opened, i felt a compassionate pat on my back, and turned to see an elderly nun smiling at me. "you'll get that degree, dear," she whispered. "perseverance is a virtue."
美 德
获取研究生学位多年以后，我回到位于宾翰顿的纽约州立大学当教员。一天，电梯里很拥挤，有人抱怨电梯效率太低。我说自我在那里当学生起，20年来电梯一直没有换过。
最后当电梯门打开时，我感到有人在我的背上同情地拍了一下，回过头来我看到一位年长的修女正在朝我微笑。“你会拿到学位的，亲爱的，”她低声说道：“坚持不懈是一种美德。”
