Not many years ago,a wealthy and rather strange old man named Johnson lived alone in a village in the south of England.He had made a lot of money in trading with foreign countries.When he was 75,he gave £12,000 to the village school to buy land and equipment for a children’s playground.
  As a result of his kindness,many people came to visit him.Among them was a newspaperman.During their talk,Johnson remarked that he was 75 and expected to live to be 100,and the newspaperman asked him how he managed to be healthy at 75.Johnson had a sense of humor.He liked whisky and drank some each day.“I have an injection(注射)in my neck each evening”,he told the newspaperman,thinking of his evening glass of whisky.
  The newspaperman did not understand what Johnson meant.In his newspaper he reported that Johnson was 75 and had a daily injection in his neck.Within a week Johnson received thousands of letters from all over Britain,asking him for the secret of his daily injection.

几年前,有一位独自居住在英格兰南部的一个村庄的名叫约翰逊的古怪富翁.他通过和国外做生意赚了很多钱.当他75岁的时候,他为当地村庄学校捐赠了12000英镑以资助其购置土地以及孩子们的操场设备.
  作为他善良的回报,许多人都来看望他.其中有一个新闻记者,在他们交谈过程中,约翰逊说他现在75岁了,他希望能活到100岁,记者问他是怎么设法保持健康的.约翰逊是个有幽默感的人,他喜欢威士忌而且每天都喝一点.“我每天晚上都会在我脖子上‘来一针’”,他告诉记者,那是指的他晚上喜欢喝一杯威士忌的习惯.
  记者当然没有完全理解约翰逊话里的内涵.于是在他之后的报道里他写道约翰逊是一个75岁的老人,每天都会给自己的脖子上打针.不到一周约翰逊收到了来自整个英国的数千封邮件,咨询他是怎么给自己脖子上每天打针的.
