5、 一位大使和一位裁判正在就一張佛教符號(hào)表的文字說明請(qǐng)教教授，這時(shí)，一名哭哭啼啼的女人把他們攔住，要賣給他們一個(gè)古董音樂澡盆，她骯臟的衣服和腰間的手帕都急需送到洗衣店清洗。大使很不舒服地從錢包里掏出一把便士說：“把這大筆錢拿走，麻煩的女人！” 等她的身影漸漸遠(yuǎn)去，那位才華橫溢的教授說：“你錯(cuò)了，你對(duì)她不適當(dāng)?shù)脑u(píng)論語應(yīng)該受到譴責(zé)。就這個(gè)不同尋常的女人來說，你不能根據(jù)她糟糕的衣服或令人惡心的指甲給她的身份地位分類。她干凈的羊毛背心和襪子，尤其是她一流的發(fā)音，都暗示著她的上層身份。”大使驚奇地吹了聲口哨，建議去認(rèn)識(shí)她。教授猶豫了一會(huì)兒，最后妥協(xié)了?！ 〗Y(jié)果呢，她真的是一位高級(jí)警官
