（单词翻译:单击）

 One day a visitor1 from the city came2 to a small rural3 area4 to drive around the country roads, see how the farms looked, and perhaps5 to see how farmers earned6 their living7.

The city man saw8 a farmer in his yard9, holding a pig up in his hands, and lifting it so that the pig could10 eat apples from an apple tree. The city man said11 to the farmer, "I see that your pig likes apples, but isn't that quite a waste12 of time?" The farmer replied," What's time to a pig?"

一天，有一个城市里的游客来到一个小乡村，在乡间路上开着车，想看看农庄是什么样子，也想看看农夫怎样种田过日子。

这位城里人看见一位农夫在宅后的草地上，手中抱着一头猪，并把它举得高高的，好让它能够吃到树上的苹果。城里人对农夫说，“我看你的猪挺喜欢吃苹果的，但是，这不是很浪费时间吗？”那位农夫回答说，“时间对猪有什么意义？”
