Len was thirty years old, and he had very long hair. He lived in a big city, but one year he did not find any work there, so he went to a small town and began looking for work there. He went to a lot of places, but nobody wanted him.
莱恩30岁了，留着很长的头发。他住在一个大城市，但是有一年，他在那儿没找到工作，于是他去了一个小镇，开始在那儿找工作。他去了许多地方，但是没有人想要他。
Then he met an old friend, and this man said to him, “People in this town don’t like long hair. Why don’t you go to a barber? He can cut a lot of it off, and then you can get some work.”
后来他遇到一位老朋友，这个人对他说：“这个镇上的人们不喜欢长头发。你为什么不去找个理发师理发呢？他可以剪掉许多去，这样你就能找到工作了。”
Len went to a barber and said, “Please cut most of my hair off.”
莱恩去找到一位理发师，说：“请把我的头发剪掉一大部分去。”
The barber began. He cut and cut for a long time and then he said to Len, “Were you in the army a few years ago?”
理发师剪了起来。他不停地剪了好长时间，然后他对莱恩说：“你几年前是在部队吧？”
“Yes, I was,” Len answered. “Why did you ask that?”
“对，没错，”莱恩回答。“你为什么那样问呢？”
“Because I’ve found your cap,” the barber answered.
“因为我找到了你的帽子，”理发师回答。
