Only if you are Jewish (or very friendly with Jews and therefore intuitively understand the Jewish mind) will you understand this reasoning:
Solo los judios (o los simpatizantes de los judios e intuitivos ) pueden entender este razonamiento.

After months of negotiation with the authorities, a Talmudist from Odessa was finally granted permission to visit Moscow. He boarded the train and found an empty seat. At the next stop, a young man got on and sat next to him. The scholar looked at the young man and he thought:
Despues de meses de negociaciones con las autoridades , a un talmudista de odessa le concedieron el permiso para visitar moscu. se subio a un tren y encontro un asiento vacio. En la parada siguiente se subio un joven y se sento a su lado.El sabio miro al joven y penso :

This fellow doesn't look like a peasant, so if he is no peasant he probably comes from this district. If he comes from this district, then he must be Jewish because this is, after all, a Jewish district.
Este joven no se parece a un campesino, por lo que probablemente venga de este distrito.Si viene de este distrito seguramente debe ser judio, porque este es un distrito judio.

But on the other hand, since he is a Jew, where could he be going? I'm the only Jew in our district who has permission to travel to Moscow. Ahh, wait! Just outside Moscow there is a little village called Samvet, and Jews don't need special
permission to go to Samvet.
pero por otro lado , si es judio, adonde iria?Soy el unico judio en el distrito que tiene permiso para viajar a moscu.Ah momento ! Justo en las afueras de moscu hay un pequeño pueblo llamado samvet y los judios no necesitan un permiso especial para ir a samvet.

But why would he travel to Samvet? He is surely going to visit one of the Jewish families there.
pero porque iba a viajar a samvet?sin duda para visitar a una familia judia.

But how many Jewish families are there in Samvet? Aha, only two, the Bernsteins and the Steinbergs.
But since the Bernsteins are a terrible family, so such a nice looking fellow like him, he must be visiting the Steinbergs.
pero cuantas familias judias hay en samvet?? aja, solo dos, los bernstein y los steinbergs.pero los bernstein son una familia terrible, por lo que el debe ir a ver a los steinberg.

But why is he going to the Steinbergs in Samvet? The Steinbergs have only daughters, two of them, so maybe he's their son-in-law.
But if he is, then which daughter did he marry? They say that Sarah Steinberg married a nice lawyer from Budapest, and Esther married a businessman from Zhitomer, so it must be Sarah's husband. Which means that his name is Alexander Cohen, if I'm not mistaken.
pero porque iba a ver a los steinberg en samvet? los steinberg tienen 2 hijas asi que tal vez sea alguno de sus yernos
pero si es su yerno.. con cual de sus hijas se caso? dicen que sara se caso con un abogado de budapest y ester se caso con un hombre de negocios de zhitomer, por lo que debe ser el marido de sara... Lo que significa que su nombre es alexander cohen,si no me equivoco.

But if he came from Budapest, with all the anti-Semitism they have there, he must have changed his name. What's the Hungarian equivalent of Cohen? It is Kovacs.
pero si viene de budapest, con el antisemitismo que hay alli, debe haber cambiado su nombre..cual es el equivalente hungaro de cohen?? es kovacs.

But since they allowed him to change his name, he must have special status to change it. What could it be? Must be a doctorate from the University. Nothing less would do
pero si le fue permitido cambiar su nombre, debe tener un estatuto especial para ese cambio. que podra ser? debe tener un doctorado en la universidad. nada menos.

At this point, therefore, the scholar of Talmud turns to the young man and says, "Excuse me. Do you mind if I open the window, Dr. Kovacs?"
"Not at all," answered the startled co-passenger. "But how is it that you know my name?"
en este punto, el talmudista se da vuelta hacia el joven y le dice : " disculpe doctor kovacs, le importa si abro la ventana?"
"para nada", contesta sorprendido el pasajero. " pero como conoce usted mi nombre??"

"Ahhh," replied the Talmudist, "It was obvious."
"ahhh" dice el talmudista "Era obvio"...
