一个上了年纪的木匠准备退休了。雇主很感谢他服务多年,问他能不能再建最后一栋房子。木匠答应了。可是,木匠的心思已经不在干活上了,干活马马虎虎,偷工减料,用劣质的材料随随便便就把房子盖好了。完工以后,雇主拍拍木匠的肩膀,诚恳地说:“房子归你了,这是我送给你的礼物。”木匠惊呆了。如果他知道他是在为自己建房子,他一定会用最优质的建材、最高明的技术,然而现在呢,却建成了“豆腐渣工程”!可是一切都已经来不及了。 An elderly carpenter is ready to retire. The employer is very grateful to him for many years and asked if he can build the last house again. Carpenter agreed. However, the carpenter’s mind is no longer working, work so-so, cut corners, with poor quality materials casually put the house covered. When finished, the employer patted the carpenter’s shoulder and said sincerely: “The house is yours, this is my gift to you.” The carpenter was shocked. If he knew he was building a house for himself, he would surely use the highest quality building materials and the clearest technology. However, now he has built “rubbish project”! But everything is too late.
