Toms Excuse
Teacher:Tom,why are you late for school every day?汤姆,你为什么每天上学迟到?
Tom:Every time I come to the corner,a sign says,“School-Go Slow。”我每次路过拐角,一个路标写着:“学校——慢行。”
I Could Do It Slower
Patient:What do you charge for pulling a tooth?拔一颗牙收费多少?Dentist:Fifty dollars。 50美元。
Patient:Fifty dollars for a couple of minutes work?只几分钟的活儿就要50美元?
Dentist:Well,I could do it slower,if you like。好的,如果你喜欢的话,我可以干得慢一些。
