單元3:Puns of the Week雙關笑語
Q:Why can't a bicycle stand on its own?
A:Because it's too tired(two-tired).
問:為什麼腳踏車不能自己站好?
答:因為它太累了。(因為它只有兩個輪子。)
說明:too tired(太勞累了)的發音和複合形容詞 two-tired(兩輪的)相同,所以造成同音異義的雙關語。
☆stand on its own:靠自己站著
☆tire:輪胎
☆複合形容詞:數量詞+名詞-ed:one-legged(一隻腳的)、ten-paged(10頁的)、a hundred-roomed(100個房間的)◇
