There
was
a
meeting
with
a
large
number
of
people.
At
first
the
speaker
was
very
interesting,
but
as
time
went
on,
he
became
very
boring.
Finally
when
he
was
through,
there
was
only
one
man
sitting
in
the
large
room.
The
speaker
walked
up
to
the
man
and
said,
"Thank
you
for
hearing
me
out
when
all
the
others
left
the
room."
"Oh!
Don't
mention
it!"
replied
the
man,
"I
cannot
leave
because
I
am
the
next
speaker."
意思是：有一次又一个很多人参加的会议，一开始演说的人讲的很有趣，但没过一会就变得很无聊。等到他终于讲完了，屋子里只剩下唯一一个人了，演讲的人走上去说道：谢谢你在别人都走掉时还能听完我的讲话。
“别客气，我不能走是因为我就是下一个要发言的人。”
