An Inadvertent Admission
(Originally in English)

　　A psychiatrist said to his patient, "Mr. Patient, I understand that you have a problem. Your problem is that you always contradict whatever other people say or do, right?"

　　And Mr.Patient said, "No, that's not right."

　　So the psychiatrist said,"OK! Then I must be mistaken, eh?"

　　And the patient replied,"No! No! You're not!"

　　And the psychiatrist said, "Oh, oh, oh,I got it. I got it. You're contradicting everything I say."

　　Andthe patient said, "No, you're being ridiculous! You're crazy!"

　　So the psychiatrist said, "I see, I see. Then you're perfectly sane, right? You're not crazy, right?"

　　And the patient said, "No. No. I'm crazy as a loon."

　　Then the psychiatrist said, "Oh, yeah, now we're making some progress here!"

　　一位精神科医生问病人：「先生，我知道你有个毛病，就是不论别人说什么或做什么，你都一概否定，对吗？」

　　病人回答：「不对，不对。」

　　医生说：「好，那一定是我弄错了，是吗？」

　　病人回答：「不，不，你没有错！」

　　医生又说：「噢，我明白了，你就是一直否定我所说的话。」

　　病人说：「不对，你这个人真可笑！你疯了！」

　　医生就说：「我懂了，你神智完全正常，没有疯，对吗？」

　　病人回答：「不对，不对，我是神智不清的疯子。」

　　这时医生说：「很好，我们现在总算有点进展了！」
