学了这么多年英语,有时候还是难免会闹笑话。Chinadaily双语手机报收集整理了一些网友曾经闹过的笑话,快来看看是不是你也经历过呢。
"I'm coming"
在美国德州读书。当时想向教授表达"我来了",然后我来了句"I'm coming"。教授整个人都不好了。
I was studying in Texas,the US.When I tried to tell our professor that "here I am," I said "I'm coming." The professor can't be more embarrassed.
点评:"I'm coming"是人在性高潮临近时说的话,经常在美剧、电影和有色笑话里听到。怎么表达才让教授听懂呢?可以说"Here!"(我已经到了)或者"I'm not here but on the way"(我在路上了).
"I'm coming" is often said bypeople when they are about to have an orgasm. It's a phrase heard on American tv shows and movies and it's used in off-color jokes. Instead,"Here!" or "I'm not here but on the way" is what the professor thought he or she was going to hear.
Cheers
去英国时坐飞机,空姐倒完水之后我说Thanks,空姐说Cheers,于是我就对她举了举杯。空姐当时就惊呆了。再之后从海关到机场大巴司机,一路上都有人跟我说cheers,我就疑惑了啊,我这手里也没杯子啊怎么cheers?!
When I travelled by air in Britain, the stewardess served me some water and I said "Thanks", she said"cheers", then I raised my cup. She looked puzzled. Then out of the plane I found almost all people, from Customs staff to shuttle bus driver, were saying "cheers." Why cheers? I have no glass in hand!
