His wife hears the commotion , knows that he can't swim, and runs down to the bank . Why do you think she ran to the bank?"

A girl raised her hand and asked, "To draw out all of his savings ?"

中文翻譯

一位小學(xué)四年級(jí)的教師正在給學(xué)生們上一堂邏輯課。她舉了這么一個(gè)例子。

她說(shuō)，“有這樣一種情況，一個(gè)男人在河中心的船上釣魚(yú)，突然失去重心掉進(jìn)了水里。于是他開(kāi)始掙扎并喊救命。他的妻子聽(tīng)到了他的喊聲，知道他并不會(huì)游泳，所以她就急忙跑向河岸。誰(shuí)能告訴我這是為什么？”

一個(gè)女生舉手答道，“是不是去取他的存款？”

語(yǔ)法分析

1. His wife hears the commotion, knows that he can't swim, and runs down to the bank. Why do you think she ran to the bank? 他的妻子聽(tīng)到了他的喊聲，知道他并不會(huì)游泳，所以她就急忙跑向河岸。誰(shuí)能告訴我這是為什么？

解析　本篇笑話(huà)的關(guān)鍵點(diǎn)就在于這句話(huà)，而這句話(huà)的關(guān)鍵點(diǎn)就在于理解bank這個(gè)詞，bank這個(gè)詞除了有“銀行”的意思外，還可以表示“河岸，河畔”的意思，在本篇笑話(huà)中，正是此意。笑話(huà)中的學(xué)生正是曲解了bank的意思，從而鬧出笑話(huà)。

口語(yǔ)實(shí)踐

A　Excuse me, could you tell me how to get to the bank?

B　Go along this street, turn right and walk on until you reach the first turning, then turn right again and you'll see it in front of you.

A　打擾一下，你能告訴我到銀行怎么走嗎？

B　沿著這條街走，右轉(zhuǎn)直到走到第一個(gè)拐彎處，然后又右轉(zhuǎn)，你就會(huì)看到它在你前面了。

★turning [?t??n??] n. 轉(zhuǎn)彎處，岔路口

A　Sir, how can I help you?

B　Yes, I'd like to open a new account.

A　先生，我能為您效勞嗎？

B　是的，我想開(kāi)一個(gè)新賬戶(hù)。

A　Yes, of course. Will that being checking or savings?

B　Savings, please.
