看到一个很有意思的关于“逻辑”的英语小故事，在此和大家分享～

不知道大家有没有听过现在一种十分盛行的测试-逻辑推理测试（Reasoning Test）！它被广泛地应用于求职测试，百度、网易、腾讯校招测评中均有此项测试。那么，你的逻辑性强吗？你对基本事物现象的推断准确吗？让我们从下面的小故事里来看一看你的IQ吧😊😊🌹🌹～

So what is logic? What does being logical even mean?
什么是逻辑？合乎逻辑意味着什么？

Explain 3 logicians and a boozer
让我们通过一个关于“3个逻辑家在一个小酒馆”的故事来看看“逻辑”的真面目。

Logic=the rules of correct reasoning
逻辑即正确推断的规则。

那么，故事开始啦😄😄

Let me tell you a joke: Three logicians walk into a bar. The barman says:" Gents, would you three like a beer?
3个逻辑学家走进一家小酒馆。招待员说：“绅士们，你们3需要啤酒吗？

And the first logician says," I don't know."
第1个逻辑学家说：“我不知道。”

The second logician says," I don't know."
第2个逻辑学家：“我不知道。”

And then the third logician says," Yes, yes, we'd all like a beer."
接着，第3个逻辑学家：”嗯，我们都要啤酒。”

这不是一个能让人捧腹的笑话，倒更有点像想喝酒还不好好说话😄。

那么让我们听一听“逻辑”的分析吧😊😊😊

Remember, the barman's question was "Would all three of you like a beer?"
侍者的问题是“你们3都要啤酒吗？

The key here is the “all three” bit.
关键就在”你们3都“。

If any of those logicians doesn't want beer, then he'd be able to answer "No."
如果有1个逻辑学家不想喝啤酒，他就会回答”不“。

That's because if one doesn't want beer, they don't all want.
因为，如果一个人不要啤酒，他们就不是”都“要啤酒。

Logician 1 does want beer. But he can't speak for the others. So he has to say " I don't know."
第一个逻辑学家想喝啤酒，但他不能替其他人回答。所以不得不说”我不知道。”

Exactly the same goes to logician 2.
第二个逻辑学家也如此。

Then happily for logicials 1 and 2, logician 3 also wants the beer. So he correctly uses logical inference to arrive at the right answer to the question. " Yes, yes, we'd all like a beer."
让前两个逻辑学家高兴的是，第三个逻辑学家也要啤酒。所以他正确进行了逻辑推导，得出了这个问题的正确回答。”嗯，我们都要啤酒。”

At last, logician 3 ends the torment because he can speak for everyone.
终于，第三个逻辑学家结束了纠结，因为它能替每个人回答。

Cheers to that.
为此干杯！

你看懂了吗？
