美国流行笑话：Still Half Glass of Water 还是半杯水

155　Still Half Glass of Water 还是半杯水

During his speech at my graduation, Bill Cosby was making the point that true wisdom comes not from a classroom but from life. When he was in college, he said, his class endlessly discussed the question: Is the glass half full or half empty? So Cosby asked his grandmother the same question. She had it all figured out: “Depends on whether you're pouring or drinking.”
（著名黑人喜剧演员）比尔·考斯比在我们毕业典礼上发表演说。他的观点是，真正的智慧不是来自课堂，而是来自生活。他说，在他上大学的时候，他们班上没完没了地讨论一个问题：玻璃杯里是一半满还是一半空。于是他就拿这个问题去问他的奶奶。他的奶奶把这个问题讲得很透彻：“这要看你是添水还是喝水。”
