这是这个英语笑话里的一句话吧：
A judge was working in his room one day when a neighbour ran in and said,'If one man's cow kills another's,is the owner of the first cow responsible?'一天,一个法官正在他的房间里办公,这时他的一个邻居走进来说,如果一个人的牛杀死了另一个人的牛,这第一头牛的主人应负什么责任?
'It depends,' answered the judge.“那要看情况”.法官回答
'Well,' said the man,'your cow has killed mine.'“好”这个人说,“你的牛杀了我的牛”.
'Oh,' answered the judge."Everyone knows that a cow cannot think like a man,so a cow is not responsible,and that means that its owner is not responsible either.'哦,法官说,众所周知,一头牛不可能像一个人那样思考.所以牛是无责任的,这就意味着牛的主人也是无责任的.
'I am sorry,Judge,' said the man.'I made a mistake.I meant that my cow killed yours.'对不起法官,我搞错了,我的意思是说我的牛杀了你的牛.
The judge thought for a few seconds and then said,'When I think it more carefully,this case is not as easy as I thought at first.' And then he turned to his clerk and said,'Please bring me that big black book from the shelf behind you.'法官想了一会说“我更加仔细的考虑了一下,这个案子不像我一开始想的那么简单”然后他转身对他的职员说‘请从你后面的书架上拿给我那本黑色的大书.
