THE PICKAXE IN THE GOLD FIELD

采金场上的铁镐

“The axe¹ is small, but more hacks² will enable it to hew³ down solid trees,” the Alaska king of

gold mine told the reporter.

“May I ask what your secret of becoming rich is?” the reporter asked.

“I think it's a kind of luck!” answered Johnson.

“Luck?” the reporter doubted.

Johnson said with a smile, “I remember, at that time, I unconsciously found a rusty⁴ pickaxe

in the earth of the ruined diggings. I just shook the pickaxe for some times and then plucked it out.

I did not expect that there were a lot of gold mine below the pickaxe and therefore discovered the

ore deposit. If the owner of that pickaxe could hold on a bit longer and shake the pickaxe, this

man may be the king of gold mine today.”

“这把斧子是小了点儿，可是多砍几次也能砍倒结实的大树。”阿拉斯加金矿大王告诉

记者。

“您能透露一下致富的秘诀吗？”记者问。

“我觉得就是运气好！”约翰逊回答。

“运气？”记者表示怀疑。

约翰逊笑着说：“记得当时，我在废弃的金矿区的土里无意中发现一把生锈的铁镐。我

就摇了几下，然后把它拽了出来。没想到铁镐下面有大量的金矿，接着就发现了矿床。如

果铁镐的主人能够再坚持久一点，再晃一晃铁镐，也许这个人就是今天的金矿大王了。”
