巧问妙答

Q: When does a doctor get angry?
   A: When he loses his patients.
  
  医生什么时候会生气呢?当他失去病人/耐心的时候。因为patients(病人)和patience(耐心)谐音,所以两种解释都可以。

Q: Can you spell a mousetrap with three letters?
   A: C-A-T.

  的确,C-A-T(cat:猫)是一种捕鼠器,而且还是很厉害的捕鼠器呢。(mousetrap:捕鼠器。)

Q:Why are postmen very smart people?
   A:Because they are men of letters.

  为什么邮递员都非常聪明呢?因为他们都是men of letters(作家,文人)。men of letters在这里谐指邮递员(送信者)。
   
                
Q:Why is dog like a tree?
   A:They both have a bark.

  为什么狗会象树呢?原来它们的相似之处在于它们都有bark。(bark可以指狗吠也可以指树皮。)
      
Mother: Why are you jumping up and down on that envelope?
   Boy: Because my teacher told me that you have to stamp letters or the post office won't deliver them.

  这个小男孩可能还不知道stamp除了表示“用脚踩”以外还表示“贴邮票”,所以为了把信寄出去,只好写好后就用脚踩了。
