5 The Name of the Memory Clinic
5 记忆恢复诊所的名字
Two elderly couples were sharing a friendly conversation when one of the men asked the other, "Fred, how was the memory clinic you went to last month?" "Outstanding," Fred replied. "They taught us all the advanced techniques—X-ray, hearing aid, radiation, etc. It was great! ""That's great. And what was the name of the clinic?" the latter asked. Fred went blank. He thought and thought, but couldn't remember. Then a smile broke across his face and he asked, "What do you call that flower with the long stem and thorns?"
两对老夫妻正在愉快地聊天，其中一个老头问另一个，“弗瑞德，上个月你去的那家记忆恢复所怎么样？”“非常棒，”弗瑞德回答：“他们教给我们所有先进的技术：X光，助听器，放射等等。真是太好了。”“这么棒！诊所名字叫什么？”后者问。弗瑞德脑袋一片空白，想了很久，却怎么也记不起来。过了一会儿他脸上出现了一丝笑容，问：“那种长着长长的茎，带着刺的花叫什么？”
"You mean a rose?"
“你是说玫瑰？”
"Yes, that's it!" He turned to his wife, "Rose, what was the name of that memory clinic?"
“是的，就是玫瑰！”然后他转头问妻子，“露丝（玫瑰），那家记忆恢复诊所叫什么名字来着？”
