英語笑話:論奇蹟On Miracle

In Sunday school, the minister was trying to illustrate the word miracle. "Boys and girls," he said, "suppose I stood on the roof of a ten-story building, lost my balance and fell off. Then all of a sudden in midair, a whirlwind swept me up and brought me safely to the ground. Now what word would you use to describe this?" After a long silence a boy raised his hand and said, "Luck?" "True, ture," replied the minister. "It could be luck - but that's not the word I wanted. I'll repeat the story. There I am on top of the ten-story building again, and I fall. A whirlwind catches me in midair and places me safely on the ground. Think now - what word would decribe the situation?" "Accident," cried out one girl. "No, no," answered the minister. "Listen carefully for the third time. I'm on the same building; I fall and am swept to safety by a sudden whirlwind. What word could account for my safely reaching the ground?" The boys and girls shouted in unison:"Practice!"在主日學校裏，牧師正舉例説明“奇蹟”一詞的意義。“孩子們，”他説：“假如我站在一座十層高的樓頂上，失去平衡掉了下來。在跌落到半空中時，突然刮來一陣旋風，把我舉起來，使我安全着陸。想想看，該用什麼詞來描繪這件事？” 很長時間沒有回答。後來一個男孩舉手説：“運氣” “好吧，好吧，”牧師回答説：“可以説是運氣，不過那不是我想要的詞。我再講一遍這個故事。我還是在一座十層高的樓頂上，從上面摔下來。一陣旋風在半空中把我托住，使我安全返回地面。好好想一下，該用什麼詞來描繪這一情景呢？” “意外，”有個女孩大聲説。 “不對，不對，”牧師説：“你們仔細聽，再聽一遍。我還是在那座樓頂上，摔下來時被一陣突然刮來的旋風托住，轉危為安。用什麼詞來解釋我安全返回地面這事？” 孩子們齊聲叫道：“反覆練習！”
