The Secret of Long Life

(Originally In English)

There was an old man about 85 years old

in very robust health. Newspaper and television

journalists came on his birthday to interview him

about the secret of long life. So he said, "Oh, no

problem, I just walk about five miles every day,

and then I do some bicycling and swimming

whenever I like. But walking is a basic routine in

my life; I make it a point to walk five miles a day,

every morning." But one of the journalist was very

skeptical, said, "My father also walked five miles

every day but he died at fifty." So the old man

said, "Now then, he didn't do it long enough,

that's why."

有一個老人，大概八十五歲左右，身體很硬朗。

他生日那天，報紙、電視記者都來采訪，請教他

長壽的秘訣。他回答說：「也沒什么！我只不過

每天走五里路，有的時候騎騎腳踏車、游游泳

而已。不過走路是固定的，每天早上一定要走

五里路才行。」

　有一個記者覺得很懷疑，就問道：「咦！我爸爸

每天也走五里路，可是他五十歲就去世了！」老人

回答說：「那就是因為他運動得不夠久才這樣。」

意思說他應該要運動到八十五歲才能長壽！。
