＂有好消息, 也有坏消息, ＂离婚律师告诉他的当事人。

＂我总能利用一些好消息吧, ＂当事人吧了口气说, ＂是什么好消息？＂

＂你妻子没有要求将你未来的继承财产也划入裁决的范围．＂

＂那么坏消息呢？＂

＂离婚以后, 她将与你父亲结婚．＂

Good News And Bad News

＂There's good news and bad news,＂ the divorce lawyer told his client.

＂I could sure use some good news,＂ sighed the client. ＂What's it?＂

＂Your wife isn't demanding that your future inheritances be included in the settlement.＂

＂And the bad news?＂

＂After the divorce, she's marrying your father.＂

创造性

第一次求职时, 我意识到在列举我所具备的为数不多的条件时, 得有点创造性．当问及我是否受过其它的培训时, 我老实地回答说我花了三年时间学计算机程序设计课．我得到了那份工作。

我没有提到那门功课我重复学了三年才考及格。

Creative

Applying for my first job, I realized I had to be creative in listing my few qualifications. Asked about additional schooling and training, I answered truthfully that I had spent three years in computer programming classes. I got the job.

I had neglected to mention that I took the same course for three years before I passed.
