Nasreddin answered without hesitation ， I consider advice the most valuable thing in the world .

His friends thought about this for a few monents ， and them one of them asked him ， And what do you consider the most worthless things in the world ？

Again Nasreddin replied without hesitating for a moment ， I consider adivce the most worthless thing in the world .

译文：纳斯瑞丁还是一点也不犹豫地回答说：“我认为世界上最没有价值的是意见。”

Really ！ said one of his friends . You must be joking ， Nasreddin ！ A minute ago you said that advice is the most valuable thing in the world ， and now you say that it is the most worthless thing in the world ！ How can it be both the most worthless ？

译文：“确实的！”“你一定是在开玩笑，纳斯瑞丁！刚才你说意见是世界上最有价值的东西，而现在你又说它是世界上最没有价值的东西！它怎么能既是最有价值有是最没有价值的呢？”

Well ， answered Nasreddin ， if you think about the matter carefully ， you will see that I am not joking ， and that I am quite right . When you give somebody good advice ， and he takes it ，advice is the most valuable thing in the world . But when you give a person advice and he does not take it ， it is the most worthless thing in the world .

译文：“奥，”纳斯瑞丁回答说：“假如你对这个问题仔细想想，你就会明白我不是在开玩笑，而是完全正确的。 当你给某人提了个意见，他接受了，那么意见就是世界上最有价值的东西。但是当你给别人提的意见别人不接受，那么它就是世界上最没有价值的东西。”
