Singular and Plural單數和復數

English Teacher: “Do you understand singular and plural forms now?”

Scott: “Yes, I do.”

English Teacher: “Tell me, what form is ‘pants’, singular or plural?”

Scott: “It’s singular on the top half and plural on the bottom half.”

英語老師：“你們懂得單數和復數了嗎？”

斯科特：“懂得了。”

英語老師：“那你說說看，‘褲子’是單數還是復數？”

斯科特：“它的上半部分是單數，下半部分是復數。”

The Shortest Composition最短的作文

A teacher asked his students to watch a TV series at home,and write an article about it. The second day, Scott handed in a composition with only two words, “ Power outage.” The teacher asked him to watch another season at night and write another article. The following day, Scott handed in another composition with five words, “The TV set doesn’t work.”

老師要同學們晚上在家里看一集電視劇，然后寫一篇觀后感。第二天，斯科特交了一篇作文，上面只有兩個字：“停電。”老師叫他晚上看第二集后再寫一篇。第二天，斯科特又交了一篇作文，上面有5個字：“電視機壞了。”

Lies謊 言

A professor said to the class, “You have learnt the concept of lies. In my bookOn LiesI have discussed this concept.Please raise your hand if you already read this book.” All the students raised their hands together.

The professor continued, “Very good. Now I have a new example for my lecture! My book hasn’t been published yet!”

教授說：“你們已了解了‘謊言’的概念，關于這個問題，我已在自己的《論謊言》一書中寫到。你們誰讀過這本書，請舉起手來。”所有的同學都不約而同地舉起了手。

教授繼續說：“很好，這回有了新的講課例子，我寫的書還沒有出版呢！”
