A permanent beneficial test

一道受用终生的测试题

One of the tests used by a company to enroll fresh blood helps you know whether you stand the trial from yourself.

给你做一道题吧，测试一下看看你能不能通过自己对自己的考验。这是一家公司招收新职员时的一道测试问题。

In a stormy night, you drive your car through a stop where three people are waiting for a bus: a dying and poor old man, a doctor who is your benefactor because he saved your life so that you are eager to render back, and a woman or a man who is your dream girl or your dream boy and likely disappear from your life once you miss the chance. Unfortunately, there is just room for one person in your car. Which one would you pick up? Then give your reasons.

Think it over before looking at the following text.

……

在一个风雨交加的晚上，你开车经过一个公交车站。那里有三个人在等车，分别是垂死的可怜的老人、曾救过你命的医生（你做梦都想报答的大恩人）和一个女人（男人），她（他）是你的梦中情人，可能错过就不会再遇见了。但你的车里只能坐一个人，你会怎样选择？请解释一下你的理由。

在你看下面的话之前先仔细考虑一下。

……

I have no idea whether it is a characteristic test, because every answer has its reason. The dying old man should be first helped, however, his final destination is death. It's reasonable for you to pick up the doctor first--your benefactor and is a good chance to reciprocate what he did for you.

Meanwhile, some people think it available to render the doctor back in someday in future. And if you miss the chance, you will never meet such an attractive person.

我不知道这算不算是一道性格测试题，因为每个回答都有道理。老人快要去世了，你应当首先救他。可是，老人最终结果也还是死亡。你完全有理由让那个医生先上车，因为他救过你，这是你报答他的好机会。

同时，有些人认为以后还有机会去报答医生，但是你一旦错过了这个梦中情人，你就可能永远不会再遇上对方了。

Only one of two hundred people was hired. He wrote his answer without providing his reason: "Give the key of my car to the doctor, and let him take the old man to the hospital. But I will wait in the stop for the bus with my dreamboat together."

在二百个应聘者中，只有一个人被雇用了，他并没有解释原因，只是写了以下的话：“给医生车钥匙，让他带老人去医院，而我则留下来陪我的梦中情人一起等公交车！”

Every acquaintance of mine regarded it as the best answer but nobody (including me) realized it at first.

每个我认识的人都认为以上的回答是最好的，但没有一个人（包括我在内）一开始就能想到。

It is caused by our idea of not giving up the advantage (the car key) we have had? Sometimes, if we abandon some of our parochialism, advantages, and intransigence, we can get more.

是不是因为我们从没想过要放弃我们已经拥有的优势（例如车钥匙）呢？有时，如果我们能放弃一些我们的固执、狭隘和一些优势的话，我们可能会得到更多。
