Is He a Good Doctor
他是個好醫生嗎
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?"
一個在南美洲比較偏僻的地方旅游的美國人生病了。“我要看醫生。”他告訴一個當地人，“我怎么知道哪個醫生是個好醫生呢？”
"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."
“很簡單，”當地人回答，“按照我們當地的規矩，每次醫生治死一個病人，他必須在診所上空放一個氣球。”
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.
于是美國人開始尋找。一個醫生放了20個氣球，另一個30個。最后，他終于找到了一家只有5個氣球的診所，就進去了。
"You will have to wait," the doctor told him. "For someone who only started practice yesterday, I've been very busy."
“你要等一會。”醫生告訴他，“我昨天才剛剛開始行醫，我一直很忙。”
