学了这么多年英语，有时候还是难免会闹笑话。快来看看是不是你也经历过呢。 网友任耿: 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. "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. 网友珵cici： 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! 网友邱静: 美国同事问我中午吃了啥？我想说，吃了餐馆打包的东西(应该是doggy bag)话到嘴边变成了dog food。他看着我狂笑三分钟。 |
