[J-55] That's Three 我数三
As a rule, “That's one” and “That's two” are said as warnings before punishment comes. And punishment is inflicted only after “That's three” is finally said.
Fred knew this rule very well, but he knew math even better. That was why he promptly said, “Wait, there are 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and all those numbers before three!” when his father had said “That's one” and “That's two” and was about to say “That's three” to him.
[译注] 按规则，「我数一」和「我数二」是处罚之前说来当警告的。而只有在「我数三」最后被说出来以后，才会施加处罚。 福雷德很懂这规则，但他更懂数学。那就是为什么当他父亲说完「我数一」与「我数二」而即将对他说「我数三」时，他会快速地说，「等一下，在三之前有二点一，二点二，二点三，还有那些数字！」
注：inflict (加给、施予)， promptly (迅速地)。
