Question

6．Some time ago，an old businessman had a large store in Boston．He wanted a boy to work for him，and he put an advertisement in the newspaper．The next morning，many boys came to the old man's office，asking for the job．
There was a post（柱子）by his desk，and there was a nail（釘子）in it．He took a walking stick and said，"Everyone has three chances．If anyone can hit the nail on the head with this stick more than once，I will give him the job．"The boys thought it was easy．They all tried，but nobody could make it．So the old man said，"I'm sorry I can't take any of you．"And they left．
He kept the advertisement in the paper，and the next morning many more boys came，and among them he saw a thin boy who had been there the day before．The boy hit the nail successfully for three times．The old man felt surprised and asked how he did that．"Yes，"said the boy，"I failed yesterday，but I thought that if I kept on trying a while，I could do it．So I went home and practiced hitting a nail with a stick till I could do it，and I got up very early this morning，and tried again．"
The old man said，"You are the boy for me．"And he gave him the job．Whatever the boy had to do，he tried to do his best．It was not very long before he became the best clerk in the store．

分析 一些時(shí)間以前，一名老商人在波士頓有一家大商店．他想要一個(gè)小伙子為他工作．他在報(bào)紙上登了一則廣告．第二天早晨，許多小伙子來(lái)到這個(gè)老人的辦公室，請(qǐng)求這份工作．在他的桌子旁有一個(gè)柱子，有一個(gè)釘子在里面，他拿著拐杖（指著）說(shuō)，"每個(gè)人有三次機(jī)會(huì)．要是有人能夠用這根拐杖多次擊中釘子的頂端，我就給予他這份工作．"小伙子們認(rèn)為它很容易．他們?nèi)�都試了，但沒有人能成功．所以這個(gè)老人說(shuō)"很抱歉，我不能錄取你們中的任一個(gè)人．"他們離開了．
他繼續(xù)在報(bào)紙上登這則廣告，第二天早晨，更多的小伙子來(lái)了，在他們中間他看見了一個(gè)前一天曾經(jīng)去那兒的瘦小伙子．這個(gè)小伙子三次成功地?fù)糁辛诉@個(gè)釘子．這個(gè)老人感到很吃驚并問他是怎樣做到的．這個(gè)男孩說(shuō)"是的，我昨天失敗了，但是我想如果我繼續(xù)做一會(huì)兒，我可能擊中．所以我回家用一根棍子擊一個(gè)釘子直到擊中．今天早晨我起得很早，又嘗試．"
