An Englishman was showing a foreign visitor around London. "What's that strange building?" asked the
visitor. "That's the Tower of London." "I see. How long did it take to build it?" "A about 500 years." "In my
country we can build it in five months," said the visitor. Shortly after that they came to St. Paul's Cathedral.
"Very interesting!" said the visitor. "How long did it take to build it?" "Nearly forty years." said the Englishman.
"In my country we can finish it in forty days at most," said the visitor. This went on all day. They visited most
of the best known buildings in the city. Every time they saw a new one, the visitor asked what it was and how
long it took to build it. Then he said that they could do the same thing much faster in his country. At last the
Englishman got angry with the visitor though he tried not to show it. Several days later they came to the House
of Parliament (会议) and the visitor asked his usual question, "What is that?" The Englishman answered, "It
wasn't there last night." |
