一个人打赌德国哲学家A·叔本华(1788~1860年)某年住在法兰克福的旅馆出租套房里。旅馆旁有一家小饭馆,他常去那里吃饭,那也是英国军事人员常去的地方。一个饭店侍从目睹了一件有趣的事:每次吃饭前,叔本华总要把一枚金币放在自己面前的桌上,饭后又把金币收回自己的口袋里。有一天,这位侍从忍不住问这位哲学家在干什么。叔本华解释说,他每天都在心里与那些军官们打赌,只要他们除了马、狗、女人之外还能谈点别的话题,他就把金币放进教堂的施舍箱里。 A person to bet German philosopher A. Schopenhauer (1788 ~ 1860) lived in a hotel rental suite in Frankfurt. Next to the hotel there is a small restaurant, where he often go to eat, it is also frequented by British military personnel. A hotel attendant witnessed an interesting thing: Before each meal, Schopenhauer always put a gold coin on the table in front of him, and then took the gold back into his own pocket after dinner. One day, the attendant could not help but ask the philosopher what to do. Schopenhauer explained that he bet with the officers on a daily basis, as long as they talked about something other than horses, dogs, and women and put the coins in the church’s box.
