b)出自福尔摩斯探案集。下面的具体内容是网上搜的。呵呵~~
The Sherlock Holmes mystery the "Silver Blaze" was about the theft of an expensive race horse from its stable. During the investigation, Inspector Gregory of Scotland Yard asked Holmes if there was any particular aspect of the crime calling for additional study. Holmes replied "Yes," and pointed to "the curious incident of the dog in the nighttime." Inspector Gregory replied, "The dog did nothing in the night-time." Holmes said, "That was the curious incident." In this case, the failure of the dog to bark when Silver Blaze was stolen showed the watch dog knew the thief. This was an important material fact; it considerably reduced the number of suspects, and eventually solved the case。

出这道题是由一道课本例子引出的,很难理解的,尤其是不懂背景的人,它有一个引申含义,即 - 任何细节都是应该被重视的,这正如弗尔摩斯最后破案一样,狗只有对生人才叫,熟人是不叫的。在经济学中,它可用以示一个阐述机会成本的例子 - opportunity cost.
