图画与文字
"One picture is worth a thousand wods？" The fact is that one picture is rarely， if ever， worth a thousand words．Some are worth only one： money．
Far from being worth more than words， pictures can be downright frustrating． If you buy a new electric typewriter，what do you prefer： a glossy， glamorous picture of the machine？Or a 1000word booklet telling you what to do with it．Pictures have their value， of course． But if they're a thousand times more versatile than word， let's see a picture of truth．
And if you are still not convinced，fall in a lake and start gulping water—and then instead of screaming the word HELP， hold up a picture of yourself drowning． If someone pulls you out，I lose my argument．
图画与文字
“一张画顶得上一千个字吗？”事实上，就是有也只是极 个别的画能顶一千个字。有些画只顶一个字：钱。
图画不仅远不比文字有价值，它们可能是毫无用处的。
如果你买了一台新的电动打字机，你会选择哪一样呢？是一 张光亮迷人的打字机图，还是一份告诉你如何使用该机的一千字的小册子？当然，图画有它们自身的价值。但是如果图画的功用比文字大一千倍，那么请让我们看看真理的图画。
如果你仍然不信，那就跳入湖中，开始大口吞水——然后不要喊“救命”这个词，而是展示你在水中被淹的图画。如果有人来救你，那就算我输了。
