That women have periods no matter what country they're from. 无论哪个国家的女人都有月经。 Yes. 是的。 Someone actually didn't know this. And no, it wasn't a 5-year-old boy. It came from a supposedly well-educated female classmate, that was 16 years old at that time. 有人就不懂，当然这个人不是5岁的小男孩。这个问题来自一个应该受过良好教育的女同学，当时她16岁。 She was hosting a German exchange student and couldn't understand why she'd laughed so much at her question: “Do girls have periods in Germany too?” 她家里有一个德国交换生，而且她不明白为什么对方听到她的问题“德国女孩也有月经吗？”会笑得前仰后合。 I had to explain to her why the girl had thought she was kidding and that geography wasn't a period determining factor. 我就跟她解释为什么对方以为她在开玩笑，而且地域也不是决定月经时间的因素。 I couldn’t make this up. 这个事真不是我能编出来的。 A worker in my office made a copy of a document before faxing the document. 我办公室里的一个职员发传真之前先把文件复制一份。 She was assuming that the original physical document itself was sent over the phone lines and she would therefore need to copy the original before sending it because the original would disappear from our fax, and reappear at the receiving fax. |
