同事邮件中的。嘿嘿。



A man in a hot air  balloon realised that he was lost.  He reduced
altitude and spotted a woman  below.  He descended a bit more and shouted
"Excuse me, can you help me? I  promised a friend I would meet him an
hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
  
   

  
    The woman below replied  "Youre in a hot air balloon hovering
approximately 30 feet above the ground.  You're between 50 and 51 degrees
north  latitude and between 114 and 115 degrees west longitude."
  
   

  
    "You must be an  engineer," said the balloonist.
  
   

  
    "I am,"  replied the woman. "How did you know?"
  
   

  
    "Well answered the  balloonist, "everything you told me is technically
correct, but I've no idea what to make of  your information.  The fact is
I'm still lost.  Frankly, you've  not been much help at all.  If
anything, you've delayed my trip."
  
   

  
    The woman below  responded.  "You must be management."
  
   

  
    "I am."  replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?'
  
   

  
    "Well," said  the woman, "you don't know where you are or where you're
going.  You have  risen to where you are due to a large degree of hot
air.  You made a promise, which  you've no idea how to keep, and you
expect people beneath you to solve your  problems.  The fact is you are
in exactly the same position you were in  before we met, but now,
somehow,  you've managed to make it my fault." :-)

一个人乘热气球发现他迷路了。他降低高度，看到下面有个女的。他再降低了些，对这那女人叫道：”对不起，你能帮我一下吗？我答应一个朋友一个小时前去见他，可我不知道我在哪里了。“
   

  
    The woman below replied  "Youre in a hot air balloon hovering
approximately 30 feet above the ground.  You're between 50 and 51 degrees
north  latitude and between 114 and 115 degrees west longitude."
  
下面那个女的答道：”你在一个热气球上，并以大约30英尺的高度悬浮。你现在处于北纬50和51度之间，西经114和115度之间。“   

  
    "You must be an  engineer," said the balloonist.
  
”你一定是个工程师，“热气球上人说道。   

  
    "I am,"  replied the woman. "How did you know?"
  
”是的，“女人回答到。”你是怎么知道的？“   

  
    "Well answered the  balloonist, "everything you told me is technically
correct, but I've no idea what to make of  your information.  The fact is
I'm still lost.  Frankly, you've  not been much help at all.  If
anything, you've delayed my trip."
  
”那是，“热气球上人说道，”你告诉我的东西技术上说都正确无误，但是对你提供的信息我一头雾水。事实上我迷路了。坦白的说，你啥忙都没帮。甚至你延误了我的旅程。“   

  
    The woman below  responded.  "You must be management."
  
女人回应到。“那你一定是管理人才咯。”   

  
    "I am."  replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?'
  
“是的。”热气球上人答道，“你咋知道的捏？”   

  
    "Well," said  the woman, "you don't know where you are or where you're
going.  You have  risen to where you are due to a large degree of hot
air.  You made a promise, which  you've no idea how to keep, and you
expect people beneath you to solve your  problems.  The fact is you are
in exactly the same position you were in  before we met, but now,
somehow,  you've managed to make it my fault." :-)

“这样啊，”女人说道，“你不晓得你在哪里也不晓得要去何方。你因为一大砣热气才升那么高的不知名去处。你许诺了，不过你不晓得咋去守诺言，你总是希望你下面的人给你解决问题。现在你只不是处于以前你曾经遇到过的困境，可是现在，hoho，你断定这错是我造成的咯。”

You have  risen to where you are due to a large degree of hot
air.

大概是你主要因为升温才到现在的位置。

but now,
somehow,  you've managed to make it my fault.

你把你的失误转嫁到我头上了。

感谢翻译;)
