的英文笑話,屬延伸閱讀,非做不可。


  延伸閱讀的生字,只須挑重點單字背,而且必須

先在〔有聲字典〕裡把聲音聽熟再背。


  因為沒有有聲書可以聽,所以這些單字不好記,

且易忘。只挑重點單字背即可。


  很多讀者告訴我,起初他們完全看不出笑點在哪。

但繼續念教材,並且看了多篇之後,就越來越看得懂。





  
Sherlock Holmes  and  Dr. Watson went on 

a camping trip. After a good meal and a bottle of 

wine they lay down for the night, and went to sleep.


  
Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged 

his faithful friend.


  
"Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what 

you see."


  
Watson replied, "I see millions and millions 

of stars."


  
"What does that tell you?"


  
Watson pondered for a minute. "Astronomically, 

it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and 

potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe 

that Saturn is in Leo. Chronologically, I deduce that 

the time is approximately a quarter past three. 

Theologically
, I can see that God is all powerful 

and that we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, 

I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. 

What does it tell you?"


  
Holmes was silent for a minute, then spoke. 

"Watson, you idiot. Some bastard has stolen our tent."
