(B) Mr Green worked in a shop. The shop sold, cleaned and repaired hearing-aids(助听器). One day an old man entered and put one down in front of him without a word.
―What’s the matter with it?‖ Mr Green said. The man did not answer. Of course Mr Green thought the man must be deaf(聋的) and something must be wrong with his hearing-aid, so he said again, more loudly(大声的) ―What’s wrong with your heading-aid, sir?‖ Again the man said nothing, so Mr Green shouted his question again as loudly as he could.
The man then took a pen and a piece of paper and wrote: ―It isn’t necessary to shout when you are speaking to me. My ears are as good as yours. This hearing-aid is my wife’s, not mine. I’ve just had a throat(喉咙) operation(手术). I can hear very well, but I can’t speak!‖
