Q: What's the difference between a monkey and a flea?
   A: A monkey can have fleas, but a flea can't have monkeys.
  
  猴子会和跳蚤有什么不同呢?你可能会直接的想到它们俩是一大一小。但除此之外呢,那就是猴子身上可以长跳蚤,而跳蚤身上却不能有猴子。这个答案很有意思吧? [/COLOR]

Q: How can you most irritate a farmer?
   A: By treading on his corn?

  如果你踩了农夫的玉米或是谷物,他肯定会生气的;而如果你踩了农夫脚底的鸡眼,他会更生气。Corn既可以表示“玉米/谷物”,也有“鸡眼”的意思。[/COLOR]

Q: Which is the strongest creature in the world?
   A: The snail. It carries its house on its back.

  因为snail(蜗牛)的后背上总是背着一所房子,所以说蜗牛是世界上最强壮的生物是不足为奇的。你说呢?[/COLOR]


   
Q: What do people do in a clock factory?
   A: They make faces all day.

  一看到make faces这个短语,你可千万别以为是在钟表厂工作的人整天都做鬼脸呀!因为除了这个意思以外,它还可以从字面上解释为制造钟面。[/COLOR]


Q: How do you stop a sleepwalker from walking in his sleep?
   A: Keep him awake.

  怎样才能不让梦游者(sleepwalker)梦游(walk in his sleep)呢?最简单的方法就是不让他睡觉。虽然这不是治疗方法,但如果让梦游者醒着呢,他的确就不会去梦游了。[/COLOR]
