　　An Example of Tragedy 一個災難的例子

　　Bill Clinton is visiting an (01)urban school. In one class, he asks the students if anyone can give him an example of a “(02)tragedy”. One little boy stands up and offers his (03)viewpoint, “If my best friend who lives next door was playing in the street when a (04)]van came along and killed him, that would be a tragedy.” “No,” Clinton (05)utters, “That would be a (06)violent ACCIDENT.” A girl raises her hand, “If a school bus carrying fifty children drove off a (07)cliff, killing everyone involved... that would be a tragedy.” “I’m afraid not,” explains Clinton, “That is what we would call a (08)tremendous LOSS.” The room is (09)tense and silent; none of the other children volunteers. “What?” asks Clinton, “Isn’t there any one here who can give me an example of a tragedy?”he urges. Finally, a boy in the back raises his hand and stands (10)upright. In an (11)uneasy yet (12)sincere voice, he says, “If an airplane carrying Bill & Hillary Clinton were blown up by a bomb, that would be a tragedy.” “Wonderful!” Clinton beams. “Marvelous! And can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?” “Well,” says the boy, “because it wouldn’t be an accident, and it certainly would be no tremendous loss!”
