A Brain Transplant | 脑移植手术

English Original

A brain surgeon was about to perform a transplant. "You have a choice between two brains," he told the patient. "For $1,000, you can have the brain of a psychologist, or for $10,000, you can have the brain of a politician."

The patient was amazed at the huge price difference. "Is the politician's brain that much better?" he asked.

The surgeon replied, "No, it's not better. It's just unused."

病人对巨大的价格差异感到惊讶。“政治家的大脑要好那么多吗?”他问道。

外科医生回答:“不,不是更好。只是从未用过。”
