在美國德州讀書。當時想向教授表達我來了，然后我來了句m coming。教授整個人都不好了。

　　I was studying in Texas,the US.When I tried to tell our professor that here I am, I said m coming. The professor cant be more embarrassed.

　　點評：m coming是人在性高潮臨近時說的話，經常在美劇、電影和有色笑話里聽到。怎么表達才讓教授聽懂呢?可以說Here!(我已經到了)或者m not here but on the way(我在路上了).

　　m coming is often said bypeople when they are about to have an orgasm. Its a phrase heard on American tv shows and movies and its used in off-color jokes. Instead,Here! or m not here but on the way is what the professor thought he or she was going to hear.

　　去英國時坐飛機，空姐倒完水之后我說Thanks，空姐說Cheers，于是我就對她舉了舉杯。空姐當時就驚呆了。再之后從海關到機場大巴司機，一路上都有人跟我說cheers，我就疑惑了啊，我這手里也沒杯子啊怎么cheers?!

　　When I travelled by air in Britain, the stewardess served me some water and I said Thanks, she saidcheers, then I raised my cup. She looked puzzled. Then out of the plane I found almost all people, from Customs staff to shuttle bus driver, were saying cheers. Why cheers? I have no glass in hand!

　　點評：英國人說cheers表示謝謝，再見的意思。British use cheers as thank you and good bye!

　　美國同事問我中午吃了啥?我想說，吃了餐館打包的東西(應該是doggy bag)話到嘴邊變成了dog food。他看著我狂笑三分鐘。

　　When a US colleague asked me what I had for lunch, I said dog food, which should have been doggy bag. He laughed wildly.

　　點評：這真的很好笑~!I can see why he laughed~!

　　在英國，一中國同學去菜場想買母雞回來燉湯喝，不會說hen，只說要chicken，人家指給他一個大公雞，他搖搖頭，說：I dont want this one, I want his wife.

　　When I was in Britain, one of my Chinese classmates wanted to make some chicken soup, so he went to the grocery. He said he wanted to buy chicken, not knowing the word hen. So when the grocer showed him a rooster, my classmate shook his head and saidI dont want this one, I want his wife!

　　一個朋友去紐約問路，管自由女神(the Statue of Liberty)叫The Free Woman!!!

　　A friend in New York City asked strangers the way to theStatue of Liberty and said Where is the Free Woman?!!!

　　機場工作人員問：Who are you flying with?(你坐哪家航空公司?)我答：Myself。對方大囧，一笑之后補充：Which airline?

　　An airport staffer asked me Who areyou flying with? and I said Myself. He was surprised and thenlaughed, adding Which airline?

　　點評：原來Who在英語里也可以泛指航空公司等群體或組織。Who in English can also referto a group or an organization such as airlines.
