English Story

Logical deduction 逻辑推理

The teacher asked her students in class: "If there are five flies on your desk and you kill one, how many will remain?"
 
"One," shouted a boy, "the dead one." The teacher said: "You should know that there are still four not dead."
 
The boy replied: "I know, but they have flown away."
 
He is right. Arithmatic is one thing, but logic is another.
 
上课时老师问学生:“如果有5只苍蝇在你的书桌上,你打死了一只,还剩下多少只?”
 
“一只,就是死了的那只。”一个男孩大声回答道。老师说:“你应该知道还有4只没有死嘛。
 
男孩回答说:“我知道,可是它们已经飞走了。
 
他是对的,算术是一回事,而逻辑是另一回事。
