One day a visitor 1 from the city came 2 to a small rural 3 area 4 to drive around the country roads, see how the farms looked, and perhaps 5 to see how farmers earned 6 their living 7. The city man saw 8 a farmer in his yard 9, holding a pig up in his hands, and lifting it so that the pig could 10 eat apples from an apple tree. The city man said 11 to the farmer," I see that your pig likes apples, but isn't that quite a waste 12 of time?" The farmer replied," What's time to a pig?"
一天,有一个城市里的游客来到一个小乡村,在乡间路上开着车,想看看农庄是什么样子,也想看看农夫怎样种田过日子。这位城里人看见一位农夫在宅后的草地上,手中抱着一头猪,并把它举得高高的,好让它能够吃到树上的苹果。城里人对农夫说,"我看你的猪挺喜欢吃苹果的,但是,这不是很浪费时间吗?"那位农夫回答说,"时间对猪有什么意义?"
