那些哭笑不得的英语笑话,好想找个洞躲起来啊!

学习笔记

我们置身异国跟当地人交流的时候,难免会闹出一些语言方面的笑话。比如英语词汇的错误使用、当地语言的特殊用法,在去之前都要做好准备。在国外闹笑话可以很尴尬的,小编身边就有一些这样的例子,小伙伴们可以引以为鉴哦!

1、hen

When I was inBritain, one of my Chineseclassmates wanted to make some chicken soup, so he went to the grocery. He saidhe wanted to buy "chicken," not knowing the word "hen." Sowhen the grocer showed him a rooster, my classmate shook his head and said "Idon't want this one, I want his wife!"

点评:在英国,一中国同学去菜场想母鸡回来炖汤喝,不会说hen,只说要chicken,人家指给他一个大公鸡,他摇摇头,说:I don't want this one, I want his wife.

 

2、cheers

When I travelled by air in Britain, the stewardess servedme some water and I said "Thanks", she said "cheers", thenI raised my cup. She looked puzzled. Then out of the plane I found almost allpeople, from Customs staff to shuttle bus driver, were saying"cheers." Why cheers? I have no glass in hand!

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?!

点评:British use "cheers" as "thank you and good bye!"英国人说cheers表示"谢谢,再见"的意思。

 

3、I'm coming

I was studying in Texas,theUS.When I tried to tell our professor that "here I am," I said "I'mcoming." The professor can't be more embarrassed.

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。

点评:"I'm coming" is often said by people when they are about to havean orgasm. It's a phrase heard on American TV shows and movies and it's used inoff-color jokes. Instead, "Here!" or "I'm not here but on theway" is what the professor thought he or she was going to hear.

"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).

 

4、who

An airport staffer asked me "Who are you flyingwith?" and I said "Myself." He was surprised and then laughed,adding "Which airline?"

机场工作人员问:Who are you flying with?(你坐哪家航空公司?)我答:Myself。对方大囧,一笑之后补充:Which airline?

点评:原来Who在英语里也可以泛指航空公司等群体或组织。"Who" inEnglish can also refer to a group or an organization such as airlines.
