Unit 7 A Special Guest 特别来宾
A lawyer finds himself at the Pearly Gates at the same time as the pope. Both men are allowed to enter heaven, and the lawyer is ensconced in a magnificent mansion. But he sees that the pope is housed in a far more humble dwelling. Unable to restrain his curiosity, the lawyer asks St. Peter about it.
一位律师发现他和某教宗一起到达天堂的珍珠门，两个人都被允许进入天堂。律师被安置在一间豪华的别墅，但他却见到教宗被安排住在非常简陋的住所。由于好奇心的驱使，律师问圣彼得其中原委。
“Well, you see,” replies St. Peter, “we have dozens of popes up here, but we’ve never had a lawyer before.”
“哦，你看我们这里有好几十位教宗，可是你却是第一个上天堂的律师呢！”圣彼得答道。
