心不在焉的馬克·吐溫
The famous American writer Mark Twain was well-known for his absent-mindedness.
One day, when he was riding in a train, the conductor asked him for his ticket。
Mark Twain looked for the ticket in all his pockets, but he didn't find it. At last, the conductor knew the writer, so he said: "It doesn't matter. Show me your ticket on your way back. And if you don't find it, there is no trouble."
"Oh, but I must find the dammed thing, otherwise how will I know where I am going?"
美國(guó)著名作家馬克吐溫以心不在焉著稱于世。
一天，他乘火車去旅行，列車員找他查票。
馬克·吐溫翻遍了所有衣服的口袋，也沒有找到車票。正好列車員認(rèn)識(shí)這位作家，便說：“真的沒什么大不了的。回來時(shí)你把車票給我看看好了。萬一找不到，也沒有多大關(guān)系。”
“哦，我必須找到這該死的東西，不然我怎么知道自己要上哪兒去呢?”
