Question

One Sunday evening two men met in a London pub. One of them was very unhappy.

“Life is terrible. Everything in the world is really boring,” he said.

“Don’t say that,” said the other man. “Life is marvelous! The world is so exciting! Think about Italy. It is a wonderful country. Have you ever been there?”

“Oh, yes. I went there last year and I didn’t like it.”

“Well, have you been to Norway(挪威)? Have you even seen the midnight sun?”

“Oh, yes. I went in 1994 and I saw the midnight sun. I didn’t enjoy it.”

“Well. I have just returned from Sahara Desert (撒哈拉沙漠) in Africa. Have you visited Africa yet?”

“Yes. I went to Sahara Desert in Africa last year. It was really boring.”

“Well,” said the other man, “I think you’re very ill. Only the best psychiatrist(心理學(xué)家) can help you. Go to see Dr. Greenhaum in Harley Street.”

“I am Dr. Greenhaum,” answered the man sadly.
