I will never forget the lesson which Mr. Li gave us. One day Mr. Li was speaking to us in our school meeting room. He began his speech by holding up a $100 bill. He asked, Who would like this $100 bill?
我难以忘怀李老师给我们上的那一课。有一天,他在学校的会议室给我们做了一次演讲。 他手持一百美元,开始了他的讲话。谁想要这100美元?他问道。
Most of us put up our hands quickly. Then he said, I am going to give this $100 to one of you, but first let me do this. He then made the bill into a ball and said; Who wants it now? We raised our hands again. But he said, Wait a moment. He then dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. After that, he picked up the dirty bill and said,
绝大部分的学生迅速举手。接下来,他说:我会把这一百美元给你们之中的一个人,但是,我先得做点什么。 他将这张钞票揉成一团(这里个人觉得应该这样翻译比较准确)后说道:现在,谁还要这100美元? 学生再一次举起手来。 但是,他又说:请稍等片刻。 他将钞票扔到地上用脚踩它,之后,他拾起这张脏了的钞票问道:
Who still wants it? Many hands were still up.
谁还要它?很多人依然举手。
My friends, he said, you have learned a valuable lesson today. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value. It was still worth ¥100.
