石匠说，“要是这样的话，违反了一个坟墓只能埋葬一个人的法律。
However, I could put ``here lies an honest lawyer" "But that won't let people know who it is" protested the lawyer.
不过，我会刻上：‘这里长眠着一位诚实的律师’。律师抗议：“但是那样人们就不知道这里埋葬的是谁啊！”
"Certainly will," retorted the stonecutter. "people will read it and exclaim, "That's Strange!"
“当然知道啦，”石匠反驳道，“人们看到会惊呼‘太奇怪了！’”
