1. I will never forget my first day of school. My mom woke me up, got me dressed, made my bed, and fed me. Man, did the guys in the dorm tease me.
开学第一天让我终身难忘。我妈叫醒我,给我穿好衣服,把我床铺叠好,喂我早餐。好家伙,被同宿舍的小伙子们一顿讥笑。
(点评: 这不是天方夜谭。中国有陪读妈妈陪到大学校园去做饭洗衣服的。)
2. I had a terrible education. I attended a school for emotionally disturbed teachers.
我受到的教育很糟糕。我上的那所学校,是专门为情绪不稳定的老师而设的。
(点评: 在一个一味追求升学率的应试教育制度里的老师,情绪如何稳定?)
3. When I give a lecture, I accept that people look at their watches, but what I do not tolerate is where they look at it and raise it to their ear to find out if it stopped.
我讲课时,大家看手表我可以接受,但我不能容忍的是,他们看完手表后还凑到耳朵边听听它是否停摆了。
(点评:从另一方面理解, 能够把课讲到时间都凝固不动了,也是一种本事。)
4. You receive frequent flyer Miles from Burger King.
你从“汉堡王”那里获得了飞行常客奖励积分。
(点评: 你坐上去的那架飞机随时有不堪重负而坠毁的风险。)
5. I don't date women of my own age. There are no women my own age.
我不与我年龄相仿的女人约会。到我这个岁数上,已无女人了。
(点评: 到了这个年龄,约会的对象不再是各种女人,而是各种医生了。)
