  How Did You Ever Get Here 你是怎样来的？

  One winter morning, an employee explained why he had shown up for work 45 minutes late. "It was so slippery out that for every step I took ahead, I slipped back two." 
  一个冬天的早晨，一名雇员解释他为什么迟到了四十五分钟才起来上班。"外面太滑了，我每向前迈一步，就要向后退两步。" 

  The boss eyed him suspiciously. "Oh, yeah? Then how did you ever get here?" 
  老板狐疑地看着他。"噢，是吗？那你是怎样到这里来的？" 

  "I finally gave up," he said, "and started for home."
  "后来我决定放弃，"他说，"然后我就往家里走。"
