　　One winter morning, an employee explained why he had shown up for work 45 minutes late.

　　"It was so slippery out that for every step I took ahead, I slipped back two." 

　　The boss eyed him suspiciously. "Oh, yeah? Then how did you ever get here?"

　　"I finally gave up," he said, "and started for home."

　　一个冬天的早晨，一名雇员解释他为什么迟到了四十五分钟才起来上班。“外面太滑了，我每向前迈一步，就要向后退两步。”

　　老板狐疑地看着他。“噢，是吗？那你是怎样到这里来的？”

　　“后来我决定放弃，”他说，“然后我就往家里走。”
