Einstein's Question
When Albert Einstein died, he met three New Zealanders in the queue outside the Pearly Gates. To pass the time , he asked what were their IQs . The first replied 190. "Wonderful," exclaimed Einstein, "We can discuss the contribution made by Ernest Rutherford to atomic physics and my theory of general relativity." The second answered 150. "Good," said Einstein, "I look forward to discussing the role of New Zealand's nuclear-free legislation in the quest for world peace." The third New Zealander mumbled 50. Einstein paused, and then asked, "So what is your forecast for the budget deficit next year?" (Adapted from The Economist, June 13th 1992, p. 71)

英語幽默小故事4
Where Am I?
A man takes a hot air balloon ride
at a local country fair. A fierce wind suddenly picks up, causing the balloon to violently leave the fair and carry its occupant out into the countryside. The man has no idea where he is, so he brings the balloon down to five meters above ground and asks a passing wanderer, "Excuse me, sir, could you tell me where I am?"
Eyeing the man in the balloon the passer-by says, "You are in a red balloon, five meters above ground."
The balloon's unhappy resident replies, "You must be an economist."
How could you possibly know that? asks the passer-by.
Because your answer is technically correct but absolutely useless, and the fact is I am still lost .
Then you must be in management, replies the passer-by.
That's right! How did you know?
You have such a good view from where you are, and yet you don't know where you are and you don't know where you are going. The fact is you are in the exact same position you were in before we met, but now your problem is somehow my fault!
我在哪?
一人在某地區(qū)的鄉(xiāng)村博覽會上乘坐熱氣球玩。突然一陣狂風(fēng)刮來，熱氣球被吹到了一個遠(yuǎn)離博覽會的地方，把這個人帶到了鄉(xiāng)間。他不知道自己身在何處，因此把熱氣球降到了距離地面五米的地方，詢問一個路人：“打攪一下，先生，可否告訴我我在哪里?”
路人看了看坐在熱氣球里的這個人后答道：“你在地面之上五米處的一只紅色熱氣球里。”
熱氣球里的人很不高興：“你肯定是位經(jīng)濟學(xué)家。”
“你怎么知道?”路人問道。
“因為你給出的這個答案技術(shù)上完全正確，但是毫無用處，沒有改變我迷路的事實。”
“如此說來你一定是位管理人員嘍?”路人回敬了一句。
“一點不錯!你怎么知道的呢?”
“你在上面的視野那么好，但是不知道自己在哪里，也不知道自己要向哪里去。事實是，你現(xiàn)在的位置和我們相遇之前的位置完全一樣，但是你卻把你的問題歸咎在我身上。”

Economist Poem
If you do some acrobatics
with a little mathematics
it will take you far along.
If your idea's not defensible
don't make it comprehensible
or folks will find you out ,
and your work will draw attention
if you only fail to mention
what the whole thing is about.
If an economist you will be,
you must talk of GNP
and of elasticity,
of rates of substitution,
of the other propensity,
and marginal this, and marginal that.
經(jīng)濟學(xué)家之歌
如果你在玩花樣的時候
用上一點點數(shù)學(xué)，
它將讓你顯得高深莫測。
如果你的想法不是無懈可擊
那就讓它若即若離，
不然人們會揭穿你的老底;
你的工作將會引起世人的注意，
只要你沒有提及
你的葫蘆里到底賣的是什么狗皮。
假如你想在將來成為一名經(jīng)濟學(xué)家，
你就必須談?wù)搰裆a(chǎn)總值
以及彈性系數(shù)，
必須談?wù)撎娲剩?/p>
談?wù)撈渌麅A向
以及各種邊際。

Where Did the Chaos Come from?
An economist, a philosopher, a biologist, and an architect were arguing about what was God's
real profession. The philosopher said, "Well, first and foremost, God is a philosopher because he created the principles by which man is to live." "Ridiculous!" said the biologist, "Before that, God created man and woman and all living things, so clearly he was a biologist." "Wrong," said the architect, "Before that, he created the heavens and the earth. Before the earth, there was only complete confusion and chaos! So clearly he was an architect." "Well," said the economist, "where do you think the chaos came from?"
