Choices, Questions











记得大学一堂选修课上。教授面带微笑,走进教室,对我们说:我受一家机构委托,来做一项问卷调查,请同学们帮个忙。一听这话,教室里轻微的一阵议论开了,大学课堂本来枯燥,这下好玩多了。

In one of the lectures, a Professor, walking into the classroom smiling and he told us: "I am commissioned by an organization, to do a survey, asks someone to help me." Hearing this, students become excited as the University lectures have been boring.

问卷表发下来,一看,只有两道题。

The Questionnaire has only 2 questions. 

第一题:他很爱她。她细细的瓜子脸,弯弯的娥眉,面色白皙,美丽动人。可是有一天,她不幸遇上了车祸,痊愈后,脸上留下几道大大的丑陋疤痕。你觉得,他会一如既往地爱她吗?

A、他一定会 B、他一定不会 C、他可能会

First question: He loves her. She have a thin oval face, crescent curved eyes, and pretty. But one day, she met a tragic car accident, and end up with few ugly scars on her face. Do you think he will still love her?
  A, he will  B, he will not C, he may  

第二题:她很爱他。他是商界的精英,儒雅沉稳,敢打敢拼。忽然有一天,他破产了。你觉得,她还会像以前一样爱他吗?

A、她一定会 B、她一定不会 C、她可能会

Second question: She loves him. He is elite in the business field, a fine man. Suddenly one day, he went bankrupt. Do you think she will still love him as before?
  A, she will B, she will not C, she may 

一会儿,我们就做好了。问卷收上来,教授一统计,发现:第一题有10%的同学选A10%的同学选B80%的同学选C。第二题呢,30%的同学选了A30%的同学选B40%的同学选C

The the questionnaires were collected and found that: the first question, 10% of the students choose A, 10% of the students choose B, 80% of the students selected C. The second question then, 30% of the students chose the A, 30% of the students to choose B, 40% of the students selected C.  

看来,美女毁容比男人破产,更让人不能容忍啊。教授笑了,做这两题时,潜意识里,你们是不是把他和她当成了恋人关系?

"It seems that faded beauty of women was even more intolerable than a man declared bankruptcy" Professor laughed, "When analyzing these two questions, do you guys subconsciously thought that both of them are lover?"  

是啊。我们答得很整齐。

"Yes ." We answered.

可是,题目本身并没有说他和她是恋人关系啊?教授似有深意地看着大家,现在,我们来假设一下,如果,第一题中的的父亲,第二题中的的母亲。让你把这两道题重新做一遍,你还会坚持原来的选择吗?

"But the questions itself does not state that relations between them was lover?" 
"Now, let us assume that, if the first question of the 'he' was 'her' father and the second question,  the 'she' was 'his' mother. Will you still adhere to the original choice? " 

问卷再次发到我们的手中,教室里忽然变得非常宁静,一张张年青的面庞变得凝重而深沉。几分钟后,问卷收了上来,教授再一统计,两道题,我们都100%地选了A

Suddenly everyone became very quiet and solemn. When the questionnaire were recollected, All of us choose A as the answer for the questions. 

教授的语调深沉而动情:这个世界上,有一种爱,亘古绵长,无私无求;不因季节更替。不因名利浮沉,这就是父母的爱啊!

"In this world, there is a love, which is long lasting, selfless; transcend time. Unaffected by fame and fortune, this is the love of parents!"  

善待自己的父母,他们永远是最爱你们的。

Be obedient to your parent as they always love you and care for you.
