乡巴佬的逻辑
鸭绒25(译)
2023年11月9日
两个乡下人认为,他们活到现在哪里都没去过,是因为他们没有上过大学。他们决定,要想出人头地,就应该去上学。
第一个乡巴佬去见学生顾问,商讨选课问题。
学生顾问告诉他,要选数学、历史,和逻辑。
“什么是逻辑?”这个乡巴佬问。
学生顾问回答说:“我给你举个例子。你有除草机吗?”
“当然有啊。”
“那么,我可以根据逻辑推断,你也有一个院子。”学生顾问答。
“真是这样誒!”乡巴佬说。
学生顾问继续说:“逻辑也会告诉我,既然你有一个院子,你也就应该拥有一栋房子。”
乡巴佬惊讶地说:“这太奇妙了!”
“既然你拥有房子,逻辑就表明你有妻子。”
“我妻子是贝蒂·梅!这太不可思议了!”
乡巴佬茅舍顿开。
“最后,既然你有妻子,从逻辑上讲,我可以推断你是一位异性恋者。”顾问说。
“完全正确!这是我所听过的最迷人的事情!我迫不及待地想上逻辑课!”
这个乡巴佬为即将向他打开的新世界感到自满意得。
他离开学生顾问的办公室,回到走廊。他的朋友,第二个乡巴佬正在那里等着在他之后咨询学生顾问。
“你选了什么课?”第二个乡巴佬问道。
“数学、历史、逻辑!”第一个乡巴佬回答。
“这逻辑到底是什么?”第二个乡巴佬又问。
“让我给你举个例子。你有除草机吗?”第一个乡巴佬问。
“没有。”第二个乡巴佬回答。
“原来你是同性恋啊,不是吗?”
原文: Redneck Logic
Two rednecks decided that they weren't going anywhere in life and thought they should go to college to get ahead。
The first went in to see the counselor,who told him to take math,history,and logic。
“What's logic?”the first redneck asked。
The professor answered:“Let me give you an example。Do you own a weed eater?”
“I sure do。”
“Then I can assume,using logic,that you have a yard。”replied the professor。
“That's real good!”said the redneck。
The professor continued:“Logic will also tell me that since you have a yard,you also own a house。”
Impressed,the redneck said:“Amazing!”
“And since you own a house,logic dictates that you have a wife。”
“That's Betty Mae!This is incredible!”
The redneck was catching on。
“Finally,since you have a wife,logically I can assume that you are heterosexual。”said the professor。
“You're absolutely right!Why that's the most fascinating thing I ever heard!I cain't wait to take that logic class!”
The redneck,proud of the new world opening up to him,walked back into the hallway where his friend was still waiting。
“So what classes are ya takin'?”asked the friend。
“Math,history,and logic!”replied the first redneck。
“What in tarnation is logic?”asked his friend。
“Let me give you an example。Do ya own a weed eater?”asked the first redneck。
“No。”his friend replied。
“You're queer,ain't ya?”
