1,。 The Court‘s Decision
法院的決定
Sir。 Clark,， I have reviewed this case very carefully,， the divorce court Judge said， and I‘ve decided to give your wife $775 a week,。
Clark先生,，我已經(jīng)仔細(xì)審閱了這宗離婚案件，法官說，我決定判給你的妻子每周支付775美元,。
That‘s very fair,， Your Honor， the husband said,。 and every now and then I’ll try to send her a few bucks myself,。“
“那太好了,，先生,，”丈夫說，“那我也要給她一些錢,�,！�
Explanation： When the Judge used the verb “give”， he meant his decision would give the woman $775,。 It is normally the husband‘s duty （his requirement） to pay the alimony,。 But this man， when he heard the word “give”,， thought the Judge would pay it,。
解釋：法官說“給”，指的是他宣判的是要給女人775美元,。同通常是由男方付贍養(yǎng)費,。但是那個男人聽到“給”這個詞后，就以為法官會支付那筆費用,。
2,。 What‘s his name？
他叫啥,？
Bob told Betty that he had an acquaintance with a wooden leg named Smith。 So Betty asked him “That‘s very curious,。 What was the name of his other leg,？”
Bob 跟Betty說，他認(rèn)識一個叫Smith的木腿,。于是,，Betty問他，“有點意思,，那他的另一條腿叫什么,？”
Explanation： Bob should have said he had “an acquaintance named Smith with a wooden leg”。 The way he said it,， it seems the wooden leg‘s name is Smith,！
解釋：Bob 想說的是“一個有一條木腿的叫Smith的熟人”。而他那么說的話，給人感覺那條木腿叫Smith,。
