笑话原文】



Somebody with Imagination



Several weeks after a young man had been hired, he was called into the personnel director's office.



“What is the meaning of this? “ the director asked, “When you applied 1 for the job, you told us you had five years' experience. Now we discover this is the first job you ever held.”



“Well,” the young man said, “in your advertisement you said you wanted somebody with imagination.”

一个年轻人被雇佣几周后,被人事部经理叫到办公室。



“你到底什么意思?”经理问,“你申请这份工作的时候,你告诉我们你有五年的工作经验。现在我们发现这是你的第一份工作。”



“噢,”年轻人说,“当时你们的招聘启事上说想要招一个有想象力的人啊。”
