21. Fishing with a Mirror
A man saw a fisherman standing in a lake with a mirror.
"Excuse me," he said, "but could you tell me what you're doing?"
"I'm fishing."
"With a mirror?" the man asked.
"Sure~it's a new invention. I'm going to make a fortune."
"Could you tell me how it works?"
"Okay, but it'll cost you ten dollars."
The man was so curious that he handed the fisherman the money. "Now show me how it works." he said.
"Well," the fisherman began, "you aim the mirror into the water, and when a fish goes by, you startle him with rays of light reflected from the mirror. The fish gets confused and then you grab him."
The man was shocked, "You can't mean to tell me that's how you fish. It's ridiculous! How many have you caught?"
"You're the sixth today！" replied the fisherman.
用镜子钓鱼
一个人看到一个渔夫拿着镜子站在湖里。“对不起，”他说，“你能告诉我你在做什么吗？”
“我在钓鱼。”
“用镜子钓鱼？”这个人问道。
“当然——这是一项新发明。我打算发大财。”
“你能告诉我镜子是怎样钓鱼的吗？”
“行，但这要花费你10美元。”
这人非常好奇，就把钱递给了渔夫。“现在告诉我镜子是怎样钓鱼的。”他说。
“好，”渔夫开口说道，“你把镜子对着水照。当鱼游过时，镜子反射的光会使它大吃一惊。趁它困惑时，你就一把抓住它。”
这人大为震惊：“你该不会告诉我，你就是这样钓鱼的吧。真荒唐！你已经钓了多少条？”
“今天你是第六条！”渔夫回答说。
