374　I'm a butcher 我是个卖肉的

Every time a father comes to visit his newborn in the nursery I'd challenge him to guess his baby's weight. Few even came close. But, one dad picked up his son, felt him in his hands, and said, “Seven pounds and six ounces.” That was the precise weight, right down to the ounces. “That's amazing,” I told him. “Not really,” he replied. “I do this all the time. I'm a butcher.”

每当有父亲到婴儿室来看他的新生婴儿的时候，我总要叫他猜一猜他孩子的体重。绝大多数都猜得很离谱。但是，有一个父亲拿起他的儿子，在手上掂了掂说：“七磅六盎司。”这恰恰是孩子的体重，精确到盎司。我说：“真是神了。”他回答说：“没有啦。熟能生巧，我是个卖肉的。”
