708　Black makes you look slimmer 黑色使你看起来苗条

A client brought two cats to a veterinary clinic for their annual checkup. One was a small-framed, round tiger-striped tabby, while the other was a long, sleek black cat. She watched closely as I put each on the scale. “They weigh about the same,” I told her. “That proves it!” she exclaimed. “Black does make you look slimmer. And stripes make you look fat.”

一个顾客带着两只猫到兽医诊所为它们做年度体检。一只是小骨架的、带一圈一圈老虎斑纹的猫，另一只是长长的、毛色光亮的黑猫。当我把它们放在称上称的时候，她很仔细地看着。我告诉她说：“它们几乎是一样重。”她大喊起来：“这就证明了，黑色使你看起来苗条，而条纹使你看起来肥胖。”
