填空题

Once there was something wrong with a machine in a factory. The workers could do nothing but turn to a German engineer for help, who drew a line on it and then said, "Take off the part where the line is and change it for a new one." The machine, with a new part on, began running well again. The engineer then asked for $30,000 for what he had done. The following were what he wrote on a bill, "The new part only costs one dollar, and knowing where the problem with the machine costs $29,999."

有一次，一家工厂的机器出了故障。工人们没办法，只好向一位德国工程师求助。这位工程师在这条线上画了一条线，然后说:“把线所在的部分取下来，换一条新的。”这台机器装了一个新零件后，又开始正常运转了。然后这位工程师要求为他所做的事支付3万美元。下面是他在钞票上写的:“新零件只要一美元，而知道机器的故障部位要花29999美元。”

One dollar for changing a new part sounds reasonable（有道理的）but the $29,999 is exactly the value of wisdom and knowledge. 

一美元换一个新的部分听起来合理(有道理的),但29999美元是智慧和知识的价值。
