NO Sweat!

　　There were four passengers in the small aircraftas it sputtered over the Andes; a businessman, an inventor, a priest and a laid -back budget traveller.

　　Suddenly the pilot entered the cabin and told them the horrible news: "Gentlemen, the plane is going down. I'm going to try to crash-land it, but you must all jump. "

　　Naturally, the men were horrified。and even more so when they discovered that there were only three parachutes.

　　The businessman said, "Sirs, I employ thousands of people. Their lives and those of their families depend on me. I think you'll agree that I must survive. " He promptly put on a parachute and leaped.

　　不費吹灰之力

　　一架正飛越安第斯山脈的小飛機上坐著四名乘客：一名商人，一名發(fā)明家，一位神父和一個靠預(yù)算過日子、看起來懶懶散散的旅行者。

　　突然，駕駛員走進艙告訴他們可怕的消息：“各位先生，這架飛機正失控下降中，我要設(shè)法迫降，但你們必須先跳下飛機。”

　　當然，那幾個人都嚇得目瞪口呆，尤其是當他們發(fā)現(xiàn)只有三個降落傘可以使用時，更是心驚膽戰(zhàn)。

　　那名商人說道：“各位先生，我雇用好幾千名員工，他們都要靠我養(yǎng)家活口，我想你們都同意我必須活著回去。”說著他便穿上一具降落傘跳出飛機去。

　　The inventor rose, already adjusting the straps. "I'm the smartest man in the world. My inventions have transformed the lives of millions. There’s no telling how much good I may yet do. Goodbye. " And he, too, jumped from the plane.

　　The priest was se.rene, and interrupted his prayers to speak to the traveller. "I am a rnan of God, my son; I have no fear of death. Take the last parachute and save your life. "

　　"Hey, it,s cool, Father. There’ re still two parachutes left. The smartest man in tne world just jumped out of the plane wearing my backpack. "

　　接著發(fā)明家站了起來，調(diào)整了肩帶說道：“我是世界上最聰明的人，我的發(fā)明改變了成千上萬人的生活。我還會對大眾造多少福難以估計。再見了，各位!”他也跟著跳出機艙。

　　神父心平氣和，中斷禱告，對旅行者說道：“小伙子，我是信奉上帝的人，我對死并不畏懼，剩下的降落傘你就拿去用，逃命去吧!”

　　“嘿，神父，真是太棒了!我們還有兩個降落傘。那個自稱世界上最聰明的人背了我的背包跳出去了。”
