English Original
Not All Cut Off
Miles sometimes went to the barber's during working hours to get a haircut. This was against office rules, which stated that clerks had to get their hair cut on their own time. One day, while Miles was at the barber's, the office manager happened to come in for a haircut and sat right next to him.
"Hello, Miles," said the manager. "I see you're getting your hair cut on company time."
"Yes, sir, I am," Miles admitted calmly. "You see, sir, it grows during office hours."
"Not all of it," the manager replied at once. "Some of it grows in your own time."
"Yes, sir, that's quite true," Miles answered politely. "But I'm not having it all cut off."

并非全剪掉
迈尔斯有时会在上班时间去理发店理发。这违反了办公室的规定，规定要求职员必须利用自己的私人时间理发。一天，正当迈尔斯在理发时，办公室经理碰巧也进来理发，就坐在他旁边。
“你好，迈尔斯，”经理说。“我看到你在上班时间理发。”
“是的，先生，正是如此，”迈尔斯平静地承认道。“可是，先生，你看，头发是在上班时间长的。”
“不全是吧，”经理立刻反驳道。“有一部分是在你自己的时间里长的。”
“是的，先生，你说得很对，”迈尔斯礼貌地回答道。“但我并没有把头发全都剪掉啊。”
