A man noted for telling puns was locked into a dark closet, and told he would not be released until he made up a pun about the situation. He immediately shouted," Oh,pun the door!"
There was a man who entered a local paper's pun contest. He sent in ten different puns, in the hope that at least one of the puns would win. Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.
昨天初级英语班其中一个老师讲了一个知识,你经常听到外国人说please come to my house/apt. 但很少听说come to my home.其实意思大家都明白,但就是这一个小小的简单用词差别,看出了一个人对英语的掌握水平。那么区别是什么呢?home其实是个私人概念,只是开放给非常非常非常亲近的人,虽然house在产权上来讲也是私人的,但却没有在感情上表现出私密性。
