两个年轻人去树林里野营旅行。他们来到了一条大河边，河里有很多鳟鱼。两人在河边待了一整天，尽享垂钓之乐，鳟鱼就是他们的晚餐。 傍晚时候，意识到双方都将大学毕业，他们就发誓20年后在这同一地点相聚，重温这段经历。 20年之后，他们又见面了，一起去往20年前两人垂钓的地方。进了树林不久，他们见到了一条河流。其中一人说这就是当年钓鱼的地方。" 另一个人答道："不,不是这个地方！” 先开口说话的那个人说：“准没错。河对岸生长着苜蓿草，我认得出来。” 听此言，另一个人说：“傻瓜，你不能把河边的苜蓿草当作识别河流的标记。” Meeting Together Again Two young men were out in the woods on a camping trip, when they came upon this great trout brook. They stayed there all day, enjoying the fishing, which was supper. At the end of the day, knowing that they would be graduating from college soon, they vowed that they would meet, in twenty years, at the same place and renew the experience. Twenty years later, they met and traveled to a spot near where they had been years before. They walked into the woods and before long came upon a brook. One of the men said to the other, “This is the place!” The other replied, “No, it’s not!” The first man said, “Yes, I do recognize the clover growing on the bank on the other side.” To which the other man replied, “Silly，you can’t tell a brook by its clover.” |
