600　When I was your age 我在你这个年纪的时候

A young man was golfing with an old gentleman. When they reached the 9th fairway, the young man found himself with a tough shot. There was a large pine tree right in front of his ball and directly between his ball and the green. After several minutes of debating how to hit the shot, the old man finally said, “You know, when I was your age, I'd hit the ball right over that tree.” With that challenge placed before him, the youngster swung hard, hit the ball up, right smacked into the top of the tree trunk and it thudded back on the ground not a foot from where it had originally lay. The old man offered one more comment, “Of course, when I was your age, that pine tree was only 3 feet tall.”

一个小伙子和一个老头在一起打高尔夫。当他们打第九个洞的时候，小伙子发现自己面临一个困难的局面：在他的球和绿地之间正好有一棵高大的松树挡着。小伙子对如何打这个球盘算了好几分钟。最后，那个老头说：“我在你这个年纪的时候，我把球直接从树顶上打过去。”有了这么一个挑战在前面，小伙子猛力挥动球杆，球飞起来，正好打在树干的顶部，反弹回来，掉在离原来位置不到一尺的地方。那个老头补充说：“当然啰，我在你这个年纪的时候，这棵松树只有三尺高。”
