A little boy is in school working on his arithmetic. The teacher says,"Imagine there are five blackbirds sitting on a fence. You pick up your gun and shoot one. How many blackbirds are left"
一個小男孩在上算術課.老師問他:"假設籬笆上站著5只畫眉.你用槍打死了一隻,還剩幾隻?"
The litter boy thinks for a moment and says"None !"
小男孩想了一會回答說:"一隻也沒有了!
The teacher replies,"None,how do youfigure that?"
老師說:"一隻也沒了?你是怎麼想出來的?"
The little boy says,"If I shoot one,all the other birds will fly away scared,leaving none on the fence."
小男孩答道:"打死一隻,其他的都嚇飛了,籬笆上自然一隻畫眉也沒有了."
The teacher replies,"Hmmmmm, not exactly,but I do like the way you think"
老師讚許地說:"嗯,不全對,但我欣賞你思考問題的方式!"
The little boy then says,"Teacher, can I ask you a question?There are three women sitting on a park bench eating ice cream cones. One is licking her cone,another is biting it, and the third one is sucking it.How can you tell me which one of the women is married?"
小男孩於是說:"老師,我能問你一個問題嗎?有三個婦女坐在公園的長椅上吃甜筒冰激凌.一個用舌頭舔,一個用牙咬,一個用嘴吸,你說她們中哪一個結婚了?"
The teacher ponders the question uncomfortably and then finally replies,"Well,I guess the one sucking her cone."
老師感到很不自在,他想了很大一會兒,最後回答說:"嗯,我猜應該是那個用嘴吸的吧."
To which the little boy replies,"Actually,it's the one with the wedding ring,but I do like the way you think"
聽了老師的話,小男孩說:"答案是那個戴戒指的,雖然你答錯了,但是我真的很欣賞您思考問題的方式."
