知性英语－An opposite example
英语课
A professor 1's grandson 2 asked his grandfather, "Grandpa, why did 3 you say that all the false 4(假的) things are ugly?"
"That's certainly 5 true 6. Could 7 you give me an opposite 8 example?"
"Oh, yes." the grandson, climbing on his grandfather's knee, said 9 proudly 10, "Look at yourself 11, when you put on your false teeth, you look younger 12 and lively 13; when you get them off 14, your mouth looks empty and shrivelled(枯萎).That's really ugly. Isn't it an opposite example?" The professor could find no answer.
