Is He a Good Doctor
他是个好医生吗
An American visiting a remote area in South America became sick. "I have to see a doctor," he told a local. "How can I know which doctor is a good one?"
一个在南美洲比较偏僻的地方旅游的美国人生病了。“我要看医生。”他告诉一个当地人，“我怎么知道哪个医生是个好医生呢？”
"It's easy," was the reply. "Every time a doctor loses a patient, it's our law that he must fly a balloon above his office."
“很简单，”当地人回答，“按照我们当地的规矩，每次医生治死一个病人，他必须在诊所上空放一个气球。”
So the American began his search. One doctor flew 20 ballons, another 30. Finally the American found an office that was flying only five, and he went in.
于是美国人开始寻找。一个医生放了20个气球，另一个30个。最后，他终于找到了一家只有5个气球的诊所，就进去了。
"You will have to wait," the doctor told him. "For someone who only started practice yesterday, I've been very busy."
“你要等一会。”医生告诉他，“我昨天才刚刚开始行医，我一直很忙。”
