法院的決定
Sir. Clark, I have reviewed this case very carefully, the divorce court Judge said, and I've decided to give your wife $775 a week.
Clark先生,我已經(jīng)仔細(xì)審閱了這宗離婚案件,法官說,我決定判給你的妻子每周支付775美元。
That's very fair, Your Honor, the husband said. and every now and then I'll try to send her a few bucks myself."
“那太好了,先生,”丈夫說,“那我也要給她一些錢。”
Explanation: When the Judge used the verb "give", he meant his decision would give the woman $775. It is normally the husband's duty (his requirement) to pay the alimony. But this man, when he heard the word "give", thought the Judge would pay it.
解釋:法官說“給”,指的是他宣判的是要給女人775美元。同通常是由男方付贍養(yǎng)費(fèi)。但是那個男人聽到“給”這個詞后,就以為法官會支付那筆費(fèi)用。
2. What's his name?
他叫啥?
Bob told Betty that he had an acquaintance with a wooden leg named Smith. So Betty asked him "That's very curious. What was the name of his other leg?"
Bob 跟Betty說,他認(rèn)識一個叫Smith的木腿。于是,Betty問他,“有點(diǎn)意思,那他的另一條腿叫什么?”
Explanation: Bob should have said he had "an acquaintance named Smith with a wooden leg". The way he said it, it seems the wooden leg's name is Smith!
解釋:Bob 想說的是“一個有一條木腿的叫Smith的熟人”。而他那么說的話,給人感覺那條木腿叫Smith。

Three retirees, each with a hearing loss, were playing golf one fine March day. One remarked to the other, "Windy, isn't it?"

"No," the second man replied, "it's Thursday."
“不是”,第二個人回答說:“是星期四”。
And the third man chimed in, "So am I. Let's have a beer."
第三個人開心地說:“我也渴了,我們來杯啤酒吧。”
Explanation: The second man thought "Windy" was Wednesday (so he replied "No, it's Thursday") then the third man thought "Thursday" was "thirsty" (so he thought of drinking some beer!).
解釋:第二個人以為“Windy(陰天)”是“Wednesday(星期三) ”,所以他回答說“不,是星期四。”然后第三個人以為“Thursday(星期四)”是“thirsty(渴)”(所以他還想著喝點(diǎn)啤酒呢!)。
