第9課:幽默的 - 7
【迷你小對話】
A: What did you get Brad for his birthday?
B: Well, since he’s a professional clown, I thought I would get him one of those jokey T-shirts.
A: What do you mean?
B: You know, a T-shirt with a funny phrase like, “I love animals, they taste great.” or “We are born naked, wet, and hungry. Then things get worse.”
A: Brad過生日你準備送什么?
B: 嗯,因為他是個職業(yè)小丑,我想我會給他買一件滑稽的T恤衫。
A: 什么意思?
B: 就是上面印有很搞笑的話的那種,比如“我喜歡動物,它們很好吃。”或者“我們赤條條、濕漉漉、饑餓著降生。之后越來越糟。”
【語言點精講】
professional: 專業(yè)的;職業(yè)的;職業(yè)性的。
jokey: 這是一個較常用的俚語表達,指滑稽的、好開玩笑的。
