An Absent-Minded Professor
A notoriously absent-minded professor was one day observed walking along the street with one foot continually in the gutter, the other on the pavement. A pupil meeting him said: “Good evening, professor. How are you?”
“Well,” answered the professor, “I thought I was all right when I left home, but now I don't know what's the matter with me. I've been limping for the last half hour.”
有一天,人们看见一个有名的心不在焉的教授在路上走,他的一只脚一直踏在街沟里,另一只脚踩在人行道上。
一个碰见他的学生说:“晚安,教授。您怎么了?”
“啊,”这位教授回答说,“我想我离开家的时候还挺好的,可是现在我不知道出了什么毛病。我已经一瘸一拐走了半个小时了。”
