诺伯特·韦纳是一位著名的教授。他是一个非常聪明的人。然而，他很健忘。 一天，韦纳一家要搬到另一所房子。韦纳太太知道她丈夫不会帮她搬家。 所以她把他送到学校，而她和搬家工人一起工作。

Mrs. Weiner was sure that Professor Weiner would forget that they had moved. She wrote down their new address on a piece of paper. She gave it to him and said, “ Honey, this is our new address. Don’t forget! ”

韦纳夫人确信韦纳教授会忘记他们搬家了。她在一张纸上写下了他们的新地址。 她递给他说:“亲爱的，这是我们的新地址。别忘了!”

“ All right, darling, ” replied Professor Weiner as he kissed his wife good-bye. “ Good-bye, and have a nice day at school, ” said Mrs. Weiner. While at school, Professor Weiner had a great idea. He decided to write it down in case he forgot it. He reached into his pocket and took out a piece of paper.

“好吧，亲爱的，”韦纳教授说着，吻别了妻子。 “再见，祝你在学校过得愉快，”韦纳太太说。 在学校时，韦纳教授有一个好主意。他决定把它写下来，以防忘了。 他把手伸进口袋，拿出一张纸。

He wrote his idea down with a pencil. But of course, it was the piece of paper with his new address on it! Later, Professor Weiner looked at the piece of paper again. He read his idea. He decided it wasn’t very good and threw the paper away.

他用铅笔把他的想法写下来。当然，那是一张纸，上面写着他的新地址！ 后来，韦纳教授又看了看那张纸。他读了他的想法。他觉得不太好，就把报纸扔掉了。 他觉得不太好，就把报纸扔掉了。

And yes, it was the piece of paper with the new address on it! At the end of the day, he left for home. He went to his old address. He completely forgot that his family had moved. When he got there, the house was empty. He thought about the piece of paper from that morning.

是的，那是一张写着新地址的纸！ 一天结束后，他动身回家。他去了他的旧地址。他完全忘记了他的家人搬家了。 当他到达那里时，房子里空无一人。他想起了那天早上的那张纸。
