A New Employee

Several weeks after a young man had been hired, he was called into the personnel¹ director's office.

"What is the meaning of this?" the director asked. "When you applied² for the job, you told us you had five years' experience. Now we discover this is the first job you ever held."

"Well," the young man said, "in your advertisement you said you wanted somebody with imagination."

一个年轻人在被雇用几个星期后，被叫到人事经理的办公室。

　　“这是什么意思？”经理问，“当你申请这份工作时，你告诉我们有五年工作经验，现在我们发现这其实是你的第一份工作。”

　　“嗯，”年轻人回答，“你们的广告上说需要找一个有想象力的人嘛。”
