English Original
A medical lecturer was teaching a class on 'Observation'.
He produced a jar of yellow liquid. "This is urine," he explained. "To be a doctor, you must be observant of color, smell, sight, and taste."
After speaking, he dipped a finger into the jar and then put it into his mouth.
The class watched in amazement, most with disgust. Yet, being diligent students, they passed the jar. One by one, each dipped a finger into the liquid and then into their mouth.
When the last student finished, the lecturer shook his head. "If any of you had been truly observant," he said, "you would have noticed that I dipped my second finger into the jar, but put my third finger into my mouth."

一位医学讲师正在讲授一堂关于“观察”的课。
他拿出一个装有黄色液体的罐子。“这是尿液，”他解释道。“要成为一名医生，你必须对颜色、气味、视觉和味觉保持敏锐的观察力。”
说完，他将一根手指浸入罐中，然后放进了嘴里。
全班学生惊讶地看着，大多数人感到厌恶。然而，作为勤奋的学生，他们传递了罐子。一个接一个，每个人都把一根手指浸入液体，然后放进嘴里。
当最后一名学生完成后，讲师摇了摇头。“如果你们中有人真正做到了仔细观察，”他说，“你们就会注意到，我浸入罐子的是食指，但放进嘴里的是中指。”
