This incident occurred one morning outside Albert Schweitzer’s hospital in the African jungle. A patient had gone fishing in another man’s boat. The owner of the boat thought he should be given all the fish that were caught. Dr. Schweitzer said to the boat owner, “You are right because the other man ought to have asked permission to use your boat. But you are wrong because you are careless and lazy. You merely twisted the chain of your canoe round a palm tree instead of fastening it with a padlock. Of laziness you are guilty because you were asleep in your hut on this moonlit night instead of making use of the good opportunity for fishing.”
He turned to the patient, “But you were in the wrong when you took the boat without asking the owner’s permission. You were in the right because you were not so lazy as he was and you did not want to let the moonlit night go by without making some use of it.”
Dr. Schweitzer divided the catch among the fisherman, the boat owner, and the hospital.
Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29. Why did Dr. Schweitzer settle the argument?
30. What did Schweitzer tell the men?
31. What was the final judgment?
选项
A、He told the men that both men were completely right.
B、He told the men that both men were completely wrong.
C、He told the men that each was partly right and partly wrong.
D、He told the men that one man was more guilty than the other.
答案
C
解析
选项中的both men were completely right/wrong,each was partly right and partly wrong等表明,本题可能与两位男士的对错有关。短文中医生先是对船主说You are right because…But you are wrong because…,然后又对病人说you were in the wrong when…You were in the right because…,由此可知,每个人都对了一部分错了一部分,故答案为[C]。
