1.WHAT‘S THE TIME
The two boys were camping in the backyard. When they couldn‘t figure out what time it was, the first boy said to the second, “Start singing very loud.”
“How will that help?” said the second boy.
“Just do it,” insisted the first.
Both boys broke into song, singing at the top of their lungs. Moments later, a neighbor threw open her window and shouted, “Keep it down! Don‘t you know it‘s
three o‘clock in the morning?”
翻译: 现在几点了?
两个男孩子在后院露营，他们不知道到了晚上几点钟。于是，一个男孩对另外一个说：“我们开始大声唱歌就行了。”
“那就会知道时间吗？”第二个男孩问。
“只管唱吧。”第一个坚持道。
两个孩子开始大声唱歌，过了一会儿，一个邻居打开窗户喊道：“小声点！你们不知道现在是凌晨三点吗？”
2.It has a lifetime warranty
After burying his mother nine months earlier, a client of the local mortuary finally had enough money to purchase the expensive coffin he‘d originally wanted. So we exhumed the body and transferred his deceased mother into the new steel casket. “What‘s so special about this coffin?” I asked the funeral director. He replied, “It has a lifetime warranty.”
翻译: 终生保修
在将母亲下葬9个月后，当地殡仪馆的一个客户终于攒够了钱去买那副他早就相中的价值不菲的棺材了。他把母亲的棺材挖了出来，将尸体转移到了那副新的钢制棺材中。“这副棺材有什么特别？”，我问葬礼的承办人。他回答说，“这种棺材终生保修。
3.Did your father help you?”
One day, Tim‘s mathematics teacher looked at his homework and saw that he had got all his sums right.
The teacher was very pleased-and rather surprised.
He called Tim to his desk and said to him, “You got all your homework right this time, Tim. What happened? Did your father help you?”
“No, sir. He was too busy last night, so I had to do it all myself,” said Tim.”
你爸爸帮你了吗？
一天，蒂姆的数学老师看了他的作业，发现他全做对了。
老师很高兴，同时也十分惊讶。
他把蒂姆叫到桌前说：”蒂姆，你这次的作业全都做对了，怎么回事？你爸爸帮你做了吗？”
“不，先生，我爸爸昨天很忙，我不得不全由自己做。”
