A physician, a civil engineer, and a computer scientist were arguing about what was the oldest profession in the world. The physician remarked, "Weil, in the Bible, it says that God created Eve from a rib taken out of Adam.This clearly required surgery, and so I can rightly claim that mine is the oldest profession in the world."

The civil engineer interrupted, and said, "But even earlier in the book of Genesis, it states that God created the order of the heavens and the earth from out of the chaos. This was the first and certainly the most spectacular application of civil engineering. Therefore, fair doctor, you are wrong:mine is the oldest profession in the world."

The computer scientist leaned back in her chair, smiled, and then said confidently, "Ah, but who do you think created the chaos?"

Could computer scientist create chaos?

Does the word 'chaos' mean 混沌?

So cold this joke!

最最最最最最……最古老的职业

A physician, a civil engineer, and a computer scientist were arguing about what was the oldest profession in the world. The physician remarked, "Well, in the Bible, it says that God created Eve from a rib taken out of Adam.This clearly required surgery, and so I can rightly claim that mine is the oldest profession in the world."
一个（内科）医生，一个土木工程师和一个计算机科学家在争论，世界上最古老的职业是什么。
医生说道，“在《圣经》里是这样说的，‘主用阿当的肋骨创造了夏娃’。这明显需要外科（手术），所以可以肯定地说，我的职业是世界上最古老的。”

The civil engineer interrupted, and said, "But even earlier in the book of Genesis, it states that God created the order of the heavens and the earth from out of the chaos. This was the first and certainly the most spectacular application of civil engineering. Therefore, fair doctor, you are wrong:mine is the oldest profession in the world."
土木工程师打断到，“但早在《创世纪》一书，便叙述了主从混沌(chaos1)中创造了天和地的秩序。这是第一个也无疑是土木工程中最伟大的项目。所以，公正的医生，你是错的——我的职业才是世界上最古老的。”

The computer scientist leaned back in her chair, smiled, and then said confidently, "Ah, but who do you think created the chaos?"
计算机科学家歪坐在椅子上笑，然后信心十足道，“噢，但你们觉得，是谁制造了混乱(chaos2)？”


chaos1 混沌(宇宙未形成前的情形)

chaos2 混乱

楼上给全文翻译了，谢谢，我能看懂（少不了字典），但是一般翻译不出来，无奈以前语文学的太差了。

Genesis 一般翻成《创世纪》，不太清楚应该是比《圣经》早的。

哦，的确，创世纪是圣经旧约第一章

LIVE41英文很牛B嘛，

确实，偶还真没想到这里的chaos居然用上了两个意思~~~~~~~~~~

失败，回家闭关去！！！！！

I don't speak English,what do you say?
