英語(yǔ)史上有最多歧義的句子

　　英語(yǔ)雖是當(dāng)今的世界語(yǔ)，但依然充斥著歧義句，含糊不清，往往一句兩解，不太明確。

　　英國(guó)近代兩位文法大師Jocobs與Rosendbaum合著的English Transformational Grammar為我們提供了“一句六解”的例句，可說是當(dāng)代歧義句子之中的最高紀(jì)錄。

　　請(qǐng)大家細(xì)讀這句有史以來最多解法的話：

　　The Seniors were told to stop demonstrating on campus.

　　暫時(shí)不要往下看，動(dòng)一動(dòng)腦筋，看看能列出多少個(gè)解法。

　　自我挑戰(zhàn)，學(xué)思并重，也是提高中英語(yǔ)文水平的訣竅!

　　語(yǔ)文巨擘Jocobs與Rosenbaum說：非英語(yǔ)國(guó)家的學(xué)生能揣摩出三解就已很棒了!你試一試，可能也會(huì)覺得趣味盎然。
