气象台想说真话
某年某月某日，气象台预报天气：
B市今日晴转阴，气温27℃至32℃。
王老与张老两人相约上午在郊外公园赏玩，途中，忽暴雨如注，两老人急忙至凉亭避雨，然步履蹒跚，上下衣裳均被淋湿，脾气暴躁之王老喟然长叹：
目前说真话的单位太少，连气象台也不说真话。
生性随和的张老云：
气象台还是想说真话的单位，只不过有时说不准罢了，我认为想说真话而不能说准的总比睁眼说假话的好。

TT：
1）由于某家书店恰好象一个超市，因此虽然也许是无意的，却不可避免地给了我们这样一个信息：
书是消费品，如同土豆或意大利馅饼一样，是供人吞食后忘掉的。
2）无形中把书归入了世上易损商品之列，一点不会因为想到目前越来越多的书确实是为了这样的消费目的而写的就令人感到舒心，同样也不会因为想到大多数的书店已经变得徒有虚名，成了不过是出售这类精装书的报亭而令人感到舒心。
这类精装书要不到几个星期，有时只要一旦跌出畅销书，就会被抛到打折书店里去（也就是令作家深为痛心的乱七八糟的书坟堆），紧跟着就完全绝了版。
3）准备让人很快忘记的书可能对出版公司有某些经济价值，而要说对文学有贡献，则简直是自相矛盾。
