   行如其人It was a sunny Saturday afternoon in Oklahoma City. My friend and proud father Bobby Lewis was taking his two little boys to play miniature 1 golf. He walked up to the fellow at the ticket counter and said, "How much is it to get in?"这是奥克拉荷马城的一个晴朗的星期六下午。我的朋友巴比·路易斯,一位令人敬佩的父亲,带着他的两个小儿子去玩迷你高尔夫。他走向售票处,向售票员问道:“进去需要花多少钱?”


  The young man replied, "$3.00 for you and $3.00 for any kid who is older than six. We let them in free if they are six or younger. How old are they?"那个年轻人回答道:“你,3美元;6岁以上的儿童,3美元。6岁以下的儿童免费。他们多大了?”
  Bobby replied, "The lawyer's three and the doctor is seven, so I guess I owe you $6.00."巴比回答:“律师,3岁;医生,7岁。所以我想我应该付给你6美元。”
  The man at the ticket counter said, "Hey, Mister, did you just win the lottery 2 or something? You could have saved yourself three bucks 3. You could have told me that the older one was six; I wouldn't have known the difference." Bobby replied, "Yes, that may be true, but the kids would have known the difference."那个售票的说:“嘿,先生,你是刚赢了彩票还是怎么了?你本可以省下3美元的。你可以告诉我,最大的6岁。我根本看不出来。”巴比回答:“对,那可能行得通,但是这些孩子会知道这其中的差别。”
  As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Who you are speaks so loudly I can't hear what you're saying." In challenging times when ethics 4 are more important than ever before, make sure you set a good example for everyone you work and live with.
  就像拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生说的那样:“你本身要比你所说的话重要。”在这个道德比以往任何时候都重要的年代里,你最好给和你一起你生活和工作的人树立一个良好的榜样。
