Teacher:John,how do you spell“crocodile”?

John:“K-R-O-K-O-D-A-I-L”.

Teacher:No,that’s wrong.

John:Maybe it’s wrong,but you ask me how I spell it!

老師：約翰，你是怎么拼讀“crocodile”的？

約翰：“K-R-O-K-O-D-A-I-L”。

老師：拼錯(cuò)了。

老師：也許是我拼錯(cuò)了，但您不是問，我是怎么拼的嗎！

Teacher:Cindy,why are you doing your maths sums on the floor?

Cindy:You told me to do it without using tables!

老師：辛迪，你為什么在地上做算術(shù)題啊？

辛迪：您不是要我不在桌子上做嗎！

(注：table 有兩個(gè)含義：(1)桌子；(2)乘法)

Teacher:In this box,I have a 10-foot snake.

Sammy:You can’t fool me.Teacher...snakes don’t have feet.

老師：在這個(gè)盒子里有一條10-feet的蛇。

薩米：您別愚弄我了。老師……蛇沒有feet啊。

(注：feet有兩個(gè)含義：(1)腳；(2)長(zhǎng)度單位，英尺)

“If there are any idiots in the room,will they please stand up?”said the sarcastic teacher.

After a long silence,one freshman rose to his feet.“Now then,sir,why do you consider yourself an idiot?”

Inquired the teacher with a sneer.“Well,actually I don’t,”said the student,“but I hate to see you standing up there all by yourself.”

一位老師挖苦地對(duì)學(xué)生說道：“如果這個(gè)教室里有白癡的話，他們會(huì)愿意站出來嗎？”

教室里一片寂靜后，一個(gè)大一新生站了起來：“那么，老師，您為什么認(rèn)為您自己是一個(gè)白癡?。俊?/p>

老師嘲笑道：“事實(shí)上，我并不這么認(rèn)為?！?/p>

學(xué)生回答道：“但是我討厭看到您總是這么一個(gè)人站著那里。”
