572　Let my driver answer it 让我的司机来回答

As a benefits specialist in the Marines, I traveled around delivering lectures on life insurance. After listening to a dozen of these talks, the corporal who drove me from base to base insisted he knew my entire spiel by heart. “Prove it,” I said. So at the next base the corporal delivered the speech. As he ended his flawless performance, a Marine asked, “What do I pay for insurance after I leave the Corps?” My driver froze. “Marine,” he said sternly, as he pointed to me, “that is such a dumb question that I am going to let my driver answer it.”

作为海军陆战队的福利专家，我到处旅行，讲解人寿保险。开车送我从一个基地到另一个基地的下士听我讲了无数次同样的内容，坚持说他已经能背诵我那一套招揽顾客的说辞。我说：“证明给我看。”于是，在下一个基地由他来讲。当下士完美无瑕地讲完以后，一个海军陆战队员问：“当我退伍以后我怎么付保险金呢？”下士怔住了。他指着我，表示不悦地说：“这样一个愚蠢的问题，我让我的司机来回答。”
