小故事
Busy Once upon a time a very strong woodcutter asked for a job in a timber merchant, and he got it. The pay was really good and so were the work conditions. For that reason, the woodcutter was determined to do his best. His boss gave him an axe and showed him the area where he was supposed to work. The first day, the woodcutter brought 18 trees. "Congratulations," the boss said. "Go on that way!" Very motivated by the boss's words, the woodcutter tried harder the next day, but he could only bring 15 trees. The third he tried even harder, but he could only bring 10 trees. Day after day he was bringing less and less trees. "I must be losing my strength," the woodcutter thought. He went to the boss and apologized, saying that he could not understand what was going on. "When was the last time you sharpened your axe?" the boss asked. "Sharpen? I had no time to sharpen my axe. I have been very busy trying to cut trees..."
忙 從前，有一個健壯的伐木工人到木材商那里找工作。他得到了一份工作，報酬非常高，而且工作條件也非常好。因此，伐木工決心要盡最大努力工作。 老板給了他一把斧頭，并帶他看了他的工作地點。 第一天，伐木工帶回了18棵樹。 “祝賀你！”老板說：“就這么干，繼續(xù)！” 老板的話給了伐木工極大的鼓舞。第二天，他更加努力地干活，但卻只帶回了15棵樹。第三天，他干得更起勁兒了，但是只帶回了10棵樹。日復一日，他帶回的樹越來越少。 伐木工想：“我一定是力量不夠了?！彼业嚼习?，懷著歉意說自己也不知道是怎么了。 老板問道：“你上一次是在什么時候磨的斧子？” “磨斧子？我沒有時候磨斧子。我一直忙著砍樹呢。。?！?/div>
