　　逻辑推理

　　Mom was giving us a lesson on logic.

　　"Here is the situation，" she said. "your father is standing up in a boat in the middle of a river， fishing. He loses his balance， falls in， and begins splashing and yellin

　　g for help. I hear the commotion， knows that he can’t swim， and runs down to the bank. Why do you think I ran to the bank?"

　　My sister raised her hand and asked， "to draw out all of his savings?"

　　逻辑推理

　　妈妈正在给我们上一堂逻辑课。她举了这么一个例子：“有这样一种情况，你爸爸在河中心的船上钓鱼，突然失去重心掉进了水里。于是他开始挣扎并喊救命。我听到了他的喊声，知道他并不会游泳，所以就急忙跑向河岸。谁能告诉我这是为什么？” 姐姐举手答道，“是不是去取他的存款？”

　　[注]bank在英语中除了我们平时很熟悉的“银行”之外，还有“河岸”的意思。
