Unit 7 A Special Guest 特別來賓
A lawyer finds himself at the Pearly Gates at the same time as the pope. Both men are allowed to enter heaven, and the lawyer is ensconced in a magnificent mansion. But he sees that the pope is housed in a far more humble dwelling. Unable to restrain his curiosity, the lawyer asks St. Peter about it.
一位律師發現他和某教宗一起到達天堂的珍珠門，兩個人都被允許進入天堂。律師被安置在一間豪華的別墅，但他卻見到教宗被安排住在非常簡陋的住所。由于好奇心的驅使，律師問圣彼得其中原委。
“Well, you see,” replies St. Peter, “we have dozens of popes up here, but we’ve never had a lawyer before.”
“哦，你看我們這里有好幾十位教宗，可是你卻是第一個上天堂的律師呢！”圣彼得答道。
