That's great you are having fun. Salute.

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛One year, I decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift...

The next year, I didn't buy her a gift.

When she asked me why, I replied,

"Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!"

And that's how the fight started.....
_______________________________
My wife and I were sitting at a table at her high school reunion, and she kept staring at a drunken man swigging his drink as he sat alone at a nearby table.

I asked her, "Do you know him?"

"Yes", she sighed,

"He's my old boyfriend. I understand he took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear he hasn't been sober since."

"My God!" I said, "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?"

And then the fight started...
______________________________
My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary.

She said, "I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds."

I bought her a bathroom scale.

And then the fight started......
______________________________

After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security.

The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's License to verify my age.

I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later.

The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'.

So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair.

She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application.

When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office. She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability too.'

And then the fight started...

I rear-ended a car this morning...the start of a REALLY bad day!

The driver got out of the other car, and he was a DWARF!!

He looked up at me and said 'I am NOT Happy!'

So I said, 'Well, which one ARE you then?'

That's how the fight started.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

  • 工作学习 / 外语学习 / 苏修大侠的发音系列我看了两三段,写得真好,应该再配上语音CD教程,就完美了,否则有点纸上谈兵的感觉。条条大路通罗马。感觉好像我们太把学英语当回事儿了,Why not just have fun with it?
    来加初期,说英语胆颤心惊,说句话儿先在肚子里酝酿办天,发音古怪怕人笑话,而如今,就靠嘴皮子吃饭,天天白伙的就是英文。我有口音,我CHINGLISH,我跟他们嘻笑怒骂,倒多了不少乐趣。也许个别词发不清楚,可很少有人听不懂,反倒在工作中让我占了不少优势。So let's have fun with it, laugh with them and laugh at ourselves for a change.
    • 谢谢!我平时琢磨这些问题,就是having fun。我自己enjoy being understood without any difficulties,对我来说也是fun的一种。

        • LOL.
        • 小故事很有趣.我也喜欢看sitcom,听comedy.
    • Pronunciation IS his fun. It is his project.
    • 同意,注意发音确实没错,但是这个不是口语的重点,更不是口语的起点。口语的第一步是要放开胆子说,多说多练多交流是唯一的途径,关起们来死盯着纠正发音,木有太大效果。
      等到你基本交流没有太大问题了,想再上一层楼,可以注意发音训练,不过如果不是要做演讲家,也没必要太纠结。
      • 说个简单的例子,老毛,老邓,没有一个普通话说的溜的,但一点不妨碍他们当国家主席,不过如果你要是要去做央视主播,国务院发言人,这个发音就非常重要了。
        • Like this comparison, fairly precise.
        • 知道你想说的意思,但例子有点偏差. 老毛,老邓应该是相当于这边native有Saskatchewan口音或美国Atlanta口音吧. 人家可没有结结巴巴,想表达又表达不出来的时候.加拿大liberal party 几年前的leader是 Stéphane Dion, 我记得Globe and Mail
          里面有篇文章说他should run to a language school,认为他的英语不能胜任party leader 的角色.
