2011-12-16来源:互联网
On Christmas Eve Santa Claus met an honest politician and a kind lawyer while riding up in an elevator of a very exclusive hotel. Just before the doors opened the three of them noticed a 1000NT bill lying on the floor. Which one of them do you think picked it up?
圣诞节前夕,圣诞老人和一清廉的政治人物,以及一心地善良的律师在一家高级饭店一同等电梯,门还未开前,三人同时看到地上有一张新台币1000元的钞票,猜猜谁会将它捡起?
Answer: Santa of course! Why? Because everybody knows that the other two don't exist!
答案:当然是圣诞老人啦!为什么?因为大家都知道另外两者并不存在。
词汇点津:
Santa Claus就不多说啦,这可是赫赫有名的圣诞老人的大名哦!
ride不仅有骑(马,自行车)的意思,还有乘坐的意思,如文中就用到了“ride up in an elevator”乘坐电梯
exclusive表示独有的,专一的,经常表示一些高级会所只供会员享用,如文中就提到了“exclusive hotel”
