The Third Person | 第三人

English Original

Three people shared a room. Whenever two of them quarreled and refused to back down, they would invariably turn to the third for support.

Even if the third person was of lower intelligence, they would still instinctively ask him to judge their dispute. Surprisingly, he often arrived at the correct conclusion.


中文翻译

有三个人同住一室。每当其中两人发生争执且互不相让时,他们总会向第三人寻求支持。

即使这第三人智商不高,他们也会不由自主地请他评判是非。令人惊讶的是,他常常能得出正确的结论。
