雙語笑話:問題出在哪裏

A Japanese company and an American company had a boat race, the Japanese won by a mile. The Americans hired analysts to figure out what went wrong. They reported that the Japanese had one person managing and seven rowing, while the Americans had seven managing and only one rowing. The American company immediately restructured its team. Now they had one senior manager, six management consultants and one rower.

In the rematch the Japanese won by two miles. So the American company fired the rower.一家日本公司和一家美國公司進行了一場划船比賽。日本隊贏了一英里。美國人便請來了分析家探討問題出在哪裏。他們的報告說日本隊有一人掌舵七人划槳，而美國隊是七人掌舵一人划槳。美國公司立刻對隊伍進行了重組。這次他們有一個高級舵手、六個舵手顧問、一個划槳員。

在第二次比賽中，日本隊贏了兩英里。因此，美國公司解僱了划槳員。
