The Sun and the Moon





　　　

One day,a lady talked with her friend saying that the sun is the most beautiful and useful of the celestial bodies. A gentleman who was present,answered: "Yes, Madam, the sun is a very fine body, to be sure, but in my opinion, it is not so useful as the moon."

"Why so?" asked the lady.

"Because," replied the gentleman, "the moon affords us light in the night-time, when we really want it, whereas we have the sun always with us in the day-time, when we have not so much need of it."



　　　　　　　　　　　　　　太阳和月亮



一天，一位太太和她的朋友在一起谈论太阳是太空中最美丽、最有用的星体。一位被邀请来的绅士答道："是的，太太，太阳的确是一颗非常美丽的星体，但我认为它不如月亮用处大。"

那位太太问，"为什么？"

绅士回答："因为月亮在夜晚给我们亮光，那时我们正需要它；而太阳总是在白天和我们在一起，而那时我们并不需要它呀。"
