Origin Unknown起源不详

When the members of the orchestra met, it was usually an orderly affair, and today they were optimistic as they gathered around the organ in the hall to consider a note about forming a new organization for their trips abroad However, some members from a particular country wanted to use the spelling of organisation, so there was confusion about whether they would be able to agree, or whether it mattered anyway The conductor said he would oppose any option that was decided by only an oral vote, and suggested that the best way to organize, or even organise, a decision, would be to cast optional secret votes
The first violinist, who was used to taking a leadership role in the group, and who seemed to know the origin of most words, tried to be diplomatic, saying that the original of the spelling was unknown The chairman of the meeting, who liked to be original, but who was later thought to have an optical problem, said that because nobody was within a reasonable orbit of where he stood, or orbited round him closely enough, the meeting was therefore abandoned In truth, he only meant to postpone it because he really wanted to go home to his organic garden, which hed carefully located near an ore mine

管弦乐队的乐手们相聚时通常都秩序井然。今天他们带着乐观的情绪,因为他们聚在大厅里风琴周围商量着一个关于出国组团的通知。可是,从某个国家来的一些成员觉得“团”应该用“organisation”这个拼写,结果弄得大家都很糊涂,不知是同意呢,还是应该无所谓。指挥说他将反对任何只是用口头表决的形式来决定选择,他建议说组织(organize或organise)一个决定的办法是进行非强制性的秘密表决。
 一贯以自居的首席小提琴手似乎了解大多数词的起源,他极其圆滑地说这个词的拼写起源不详。会议主席是个喜欢有独到见解但后来被认为视觉有问题的人,他说,由于谁的观点都不属于合理范围,或者谁也没有紧紧地围绕着他运行,会议因此只好解散。其实,他只是想推迟这个会议,因为他实在想回到家里他那专施有机肥料的花园,他把这个花园精心设在了一个矿场附近。
