An old man visits his doctor and after thorough examination the doctor tells him："I have good news and bad news.What would you like to hear first？"
Patient："Well，give me the bad news first."
Doctor："You have cancer.I estimate that you have about two years left."
Patient："Oh，no！That's awful！ In two years my life will be over！What kind of good news could you probably tell me，after this？"
Doctor："You also have Alzheimer's.In about three months you are going to forget everything I told you."
译文：
好消息和坏消息
一位老人去看医生。医生作了全面检查后对他说：“我有一个好消息和一个坏消息，你想先听哪一个？”
患者说：“好吧，先告诉我坏消息。”
医生说：“你得了癌症。我估计你还能活两年。”
患者说：“噢，不！这太糟了！我的生命将终止于两年内！在听到这样的噩耗之后，我还能指望你告诉我什么样的好消息呢？”
医生说：“你同时患了阿尔茨海默病。三个月内你将会忘记我告诉你的所有事。”
Obviously，it isjust a joke.From this ，we can see that people have different opinions when they stand at different positions，as an old Chinese proverb goes： "Afflictions are sometimes blessings in disguise."Many difficuties would appear in each people’s whole life，but if we change our view，perhaps things will start turning round.Keep an optimistic attitude to face the difficulties then we will find that any situation is neither good nor bad.
显然，这只是一则笑话。由此我们可以看出，站在不同的角度，对于同一件事，人们有着不同的看法，正如有句中国古语所说：“塞翁失马，焉知非福。”生活中总是会出现很多的困难，但面对困难的时候，我们不妨换个角度去想一想，也许就会出现另外一种转机。所以，只要保持着乐观向上的心态面对困难，我们会发现，生活中并没有绝对的好事与坏事。
