一． 英语小幽默 5 1． When a Tiger comes Two guys were walking through the jungle. All

of a sudden, a tiger appears from a distance, running towards them. One of the guys takes out a pair of "Nikes" from his bag and starts to put them on. The other guy with a surprised look and exclaims, "Do you think you will run faster than the tiger with those?" His friend replies: "I don't have to out run it, I just have to run faster than you." 2. But the teacher cried The six-year-old John was terribly spoiled . His father knew it, but his grandma doted on him. He hardly left her side. And when he wanted anything, he either cried or threw a temper tantrum. Then came his first day of school, his first day away from his grandmother's loving arms. When he came home from school his grandma met him at the door. 6 "Was school all right?" she asked, "Did you get along all right? did you cry?" "Cry?" John asked. "No, I didn't cry, but the teacher did!"

六岁的约翰娇生惯养。他的父亲知道这一点，可他的祖父母仍然宠着他。这孩子几乎寸步不离他的祖母。他想要什么不是哭，就是闹。他第一天上学才离开祖母的怀抱。 约翰放学了，他奶奶在门口接他并问道：“学校怎么样？你过的好吗？哭了没有？” “哭？”约翰问，“不，我没哭，可老师哭了。”

3. Is that clock right? Dan was the doorman of a club in a big city. Everyday, thousands of people passed his door, and a lot of them stopped and asked him, "What's the time, please?" After a few months, Dan said to himself, "I'm not going to answer all those stupid people any more. I'm going to buy a big clock and put it upon the wall here." Then he did so. “Now people aren't going to stop and ask me the time," he thought happily. 7 But after that, a lot of people stopped, looked at the clock and then asked Dan, "Is that clock right?” 4 .Talking on the Telephone Each Sunday the minister called the children to the front of the church while telling them a story. Once he brought a telephone to better illustrate the idea of prayer.“You talk to people on the telephone and don??t see them of the other end of the line, right?” he began. The children nodded yes. “Well, talking to god is like talking on the telephone. He??s on the other end, but you can??t see him. He is listening, though.” Just then a little boy piped up and asked, “What??s his number?”

每个星期天，牧师都把孩子们叫到教堂前面给他们讲一个故事。一次，为了更好地说明祈祷的意义，他把电话拿来了。 “你们在电话里与人交谈，但是看不到电话线另一端的那些人，对吗？” 牧师开始讲道。 孩子们点头称是。“那好，跟上帝交谈也就象在电话里跟人交谈一样，上帝在另一端，虽然他在听着，但是你们却看不到他。” 这时，一个孩子大声叫着问道：“他的电话号码是多少？”

8 5. A Never Finished Job I was going away for a few days and left my husband a list of chores. For fun, I put down as Item 5: Think about your wife a lot. After I returned, my husband proudly reported that he had completed every job. When I saw the list, however, each item except No.5 had been crossed off. "What's this!" I exclaimed, "Didn't you think about me while I was gone?" My chagrin vanished when he replied cheerfully, "I started to, but just never finished."

一直没干完的活 我离开家几天，给丈夫留了个条儿，写下需要做的杂活。为了跟他逗着玩儿，我的第五条写的是：多想念你的妻子。 当我回来后，我丈夫非常自豪地向我汇报，他干完了所有的活。当我看条子时，除了第五条，所有的活都干完划掉了，” 这是怎么回事！“我惊讶道，”我不在时，你不想我吗？“ 他高兴地说：”我开始干了，不过这活一直还没做完。“这时我的委屈都消失了。

9 6. How much is four minus four? One day, the teacher inquired of Peter:" How much is four minus four?" Peter was tongue-tied. The teacher got angry and said: "What a fool! You see, if I put four coins in your pocket, but there is a hole in your pocket and all of them leak out, now what is left in your pocket?" "The hole," replied Peter。Notes: (1)tongue-tied:张口结舌 (2)leak out:泄漏

A small leak will sink a great ship.[谚]小洞沉大船;小患不治成大灾。

四减四等于几？ 一天，老师问彼得：“4 减4 等于几？”彼得张口结舌答不上来。 老师生气地说：“真笨！你想，我要是往你口袋里放四个硬币，而你的口袋上有个窟窿，硬币全漏掉了，那么，你衣袋里还剩下什么？” “窟窿，”彼得答道。

10 7 。A dog can play the piano A guy walks into a bar with a small dog. The bartender says, "Get out of here with that dog!" The guy says, "But this isn't just any dog... this dog can play the piano!" The bartender replies, "Well, if he can play that piano, you both can stay... and have a drink on the house!" So the guy sits the dog on the piano stool, and the dog starts playing. Ragtime, Mozart... and the bartender and patrons are enjoying the music. Suddenly a bigger dog runs in, grabs the small dog by the scruff of the neck, and drags him out. The bartender asks the guy, "What was that all about?" The guy replies, "Oh, that was his mother. She wanted him to be a doctor."

一个人带着他的狗走进一家酒吧。 酒吧服务生对他说， “这里不能带狗进来，请离开吧!” 那个人对服务生说，“这可不是一般的狗，它可是会弹钢琴的!” 服务生回答说，“呃， 如果它真的能弹钢琴，你们可以免费在这喝上一杯!” 那个人把狗放到了弹钢琴坐的凳子上面，狗就开始了演奏，先是拉格泰姆音乐、接着弹莫扎特还有其它的… …服务生和顾客们都非常欣赏它的弹奏。 11 突然，一只体型更大的狗跑了进来 ，一把抓住小狗的脖子就把它拽出去了。 酒吧服务生问那个人，“那是怎么回事？” 那人回答 ，“噢，那是它妈妈。 她不想它儿子玩音乐，而是做一名医生。”

8. The mean man's party. The notorious cheap skate finally decided to have a party. Explaining to a friend how to find his apartment, he said, "Come up to 5M and ring the doorbell with your elbow. When the door open, push with your foot." "Why use my elbow and foot?" "Well, gosh," was the reply, "You're not coming empty-hangded, are you?"

吝啬鬼请客 一个出了名的吝啬鬼终于决定要请一次客了。他在向一个朋友解释怎么找到他家时说：“你上到五楼，找中间那个门，然后用你的胳膊肘按门铃。门开了之后，再用你的脚把门推开。” “为什么要用我的肘和脚呢？” 12 “你的双手得拿礼物啊。天哪，你总不会空着手来吧？”吝啬鬼回答。

9． the plural form Teacher: What is the plural of man，Tom？ 老师：汤姆，“男人”这个词的复数形式是什么？ Tom: Men. 汤姆：“男人们”。 Teacher: Good. And the plural of child？ 老师：答得好。那“孩子”的复数形式呢？ Tom: Twins. 汤姆：双胞胎。 10． Father's Things When Tom Howard was seventeen years old he was as tall as his father, so he began to borrow Mr. Howard's clothes when he wanted to go out with his friends in the evening. Mr. Howard did not like this, and he always got very angry when he found his son wearing any of his things. 13 One evening when Tom came downstairs to go out, his father stopped him in the hall. He looked at Tom's clothes very carefully. Then he said angrily, "Isn't that one of my ties, Tom?" "Yes, Father, it is," answered Tom. "And that shirt's mine too." "Yes, that's yours too," answered Tom. "And you're wearing my belt!" said Mr. Howard. "Yes, I am, Father," answered Tom. "You don't want your trousers to fall down, do you?"

父亲的东西 汤姆.霍德华十七岁的时候，长得和父亲一样高了，于是当他晚上和朋友一起出去时，就开始借父亲的衣服穿。 霍德华先生可不喜欢这样，当他发现他的儿子穿他的衣服时，总是非常生气。 一天晚上，汤姆下楼准备出去，父亲在门厅里拦住了他。他细细打量着汤姆的穿着。 14 然后他气呼呼地说：“汤姆，那不是我的一条领带吗？” 汤姆回答说：“是的，父亲，是你的领带。” “还有那衬衫也是我的。” “是的，衬衫也是你的。”汤姆回答说。 “还有呢，你连皮带也用我的。”霍德华先生说。 “是的，父亲，”汤姆回答说，“你不愿意让你的裤子掉下来吧？”

11．Do You Know My Work? One night a hotel caught fire，and the people who were staying in it ran out in their night clothes. 一天晚上，一家旅馆失火，住在这家旅馆里的人穿着睡衣就跑了出来。 Two men stood outside and looked at the fire. 两个人站在外面，看着大火。 "Before I came out," said one," I ran into some of the rooms and found a lot of money. People don't think of money when they're afraid. When anyone 15 leaves paper money in a fire，the fire burn sit. So I took all the bills that I could find. No one will be poorer because I took them." “在我出来之前，”其中一个人说，“我跑进一些房间，找到了一大笔钱。人在恐惧中是不会想到钱的。如果有人把纸币留在火里，火就会把它烧成灰烬。所以我把我所能找到的钞票都拿走了。没有人会因为我拿走它们而变得更穷。” "You don't know my work," said the other. “你不知道我是干什么的。”另一个人说。 "What is your work？" “你是干什么的？” "I'm a policeman." “我是警察。” "Oh！" cried the first man. He thought quickly and said, "And do you know my work?" “噢！”

第一个人喊了一声。他灵机一动，说：“那你知道我是干什么的？” "No," said the policeman. “不知道。”警察说。” 16 I'm a writer. I'm always tellings to ries about things that never happened." “我是个作家。我总是爱编一些从未发生过的故事。” 12．Whose Son Is the Greatest？ The mothers of four priests got together and were discussing their sons. "My son is a monsignor," said the first proud woman. "When he enters a room, people say, 'Hello, Monsignor.'" The second mother went on, "My son is a bishop. When he enters a room, people say, 'Hello, Your Excellency.'" "My son is a cardinal." continued the next one. "When he enters a room, people say, 'Hello, Your Eminence.'" The fourth mother thought for a moment. "My son is six-foot-ten and weighs 300 pounds," she said, "When he enters a room, people say, 'Oh, my God.'" 四个神职人员的母亲聚在一起谈论自己的儿子。“我儿子是个牧师，”第一个骄傲的母亲说，“当他走进一个房间时，人们会说，??您好，牧师。” 17 第二个母亲接着说，“我儿子是个主教，当他走进一个房间时，人们会说，??您好，主教阁下。” “我儿子是红衣主教，”第三个母亲继续，“当他走进一个房间时，人们会说，??您好，尊敬的红衣主教。” 第四个母亲想了一会儿，说：“我儿子身高6 尺10 吋，体重300 磅，当他走进一个房间时，人们都说，??哦，我的上帝！” 13.

I'll never let it happen again. 因为你打了比你小的孩子，我绝不能允许这种事情再次发生。 But I'm younger than you, you can't beat me any way！ 可是，我也比你小啊，你也不能打我！ 15.

三．趣味英语单词 日常用语类 busboy 餐馆勤杂工(不是“公汽售票员”) busybody 爱管闲事的人(不是“大忙人”) dead president 美钞(上印有总统头像)(并非“死了的总统”) sweet water 淡水(不是“糖水”) confidence man 骗子(不是“信得过的人”) 25 criminal lawyer 刑事律师(不是“犯罪的律师”) rest room 厕所(不是“休息室”) dressing room 化妆室(不是“试衣室”或“更衣室”) horse sense 常识(不是“马的感觉”) capital idea 好主意(不是“资本主义思想”) black tea 红茶(不是“黑茶”) black stranger 完全陌生的人(不是“陌生的黑人”) white man 忠实可靠的人(不是“皮肤白的人”) 其一、有些单词正看、反看都有意思，越看越有意思。 如：鼠辈造反（猜一英语单词）。谜底是star.因为star 从后往前读，正好是rats.又，live 倒过来就是evil.所谓：“生活” 不能颠倒，颠倒过来就是“罪恶”。英语中有不少单词左右有讲，翻然成趣。 Are—— era（时代）；bin（贮藏器）—— nib（笔尖）； but —— tub（盆）；deer（鹿）—— reed（芦苇）； door —— rood（十字架）；doom（注定）—— mood（心情）； deem（认为）—— meed（适当的报答）； dot（点）—— tod（狐）；evil（罪恶）—— live（生活）；God—— dog；
