Weather Prediction | 天气预报

English Original

A film crew was on location deep in the wilderness. One day, an old Native American man approached the director and said, "Rain tomorrow." The next day, it rained. A week later, he approached the director again and said, "Hailstorm tomorrow." The next day, there was a hailstorm.

"This man is incredible," said the director. He instructed his secretary to hire the man as a weather predictor.

After several more successful predictions, however, the old man did not appear for two weeks.

Finally, the director sent for him. "I have to shoot a major scene tomorrow," said the director, "and I'm counting on you. What will the weather be like?"

The man shrugged his shoulders. "Don't know," he said. "Radio is broken."


中文翻译

一个电影摄制组在荒野深处取景。一天,一位年长的美洲原住民走到导演面前说:“明天有雨。”第二天果然下雨了。一周后,他又找到导演说:“明天有冰雹。”第二天果然下起了冰雹。

“这人真不可思议,”导演说。他吩咐秘书雇佣这个人来预报天气。

然而,在又成功预报了几次之后,这位老人有两周没有出现。

最后,导演派人把他找来。“我明天要拍一场重要的戏,”导演说,“就指望你了。天气会怎么样?”

老人耸了耸肩。“不知道,”他说。“收音机坏了。”
