我之前呆一個公司
公司每週三五會請英文老師來當大家的家教
因為公司人很少,所以就是每個人可以輪半小時進去會議室跟外國人一對一
老師是加拿大來的一男一女是夫妻,各來一天
有一次我跟女老師上課時,
好像聊到我們所喜愛的書
我就說我喜歡海倫凱樂的"The story of my life"
然後他沒看過,我們就稍微討論了一下
後來她問我,那你有admired的政治家嗎?
我想來想去,好像也沒有,(因為一直未曾很熱中於政治)
所以就隨口說了"林肯"
然後她瞪大眼睛說:"He's dead. You know he's dead?"
我回答說:"yes, i know he's dead."
然後她鬆了一口氣,好像還好我知道的那種感覺..
讓我覺得有一點好笑...
林肯死了是個很秘密的事嗎?
為什麼她會覺得我可能不知道呢?
類似的事情還發生過兩三次
都是一些很基礎的事實,然後我知道,她卻超驚訝...
台灣人有很笨嗎?
為什麼這個英文老師會覺得很訝異我們知道一些很基礎的事呢?

I am the model of perfection,
full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
I were in Eden,the garden of God;
every precious stone adorned me.
My settings and mounting were made of gold;
on the day I were created they were prepared.
