因为英语不好闹的笑话

　　英语不好而闹出的笑话!你肯定也做过!

　　一

　　一个朋友去纽约问路，管自由女神(the Statue of Liberty)叫The Free Woman!!!

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

　　二：

　　机场工作人员问：Who are you flying with?(你坐哪家航空公司?)我答：Myself。对方大囧，一笑之后补充：Which airline?

　　An airport staffer asked me "Who are you flying with?" and I said "Myself." He was surprised and then laughed, adding "Which airline?"

　　原来Who在英语里也可以泛指航空公司等群体或组织。"Who" in English can also refer to a group or an organization such as airlines.

　　三：

　　在英国，一中国同学去菜场想买母鸡回来炖汤喝，不会说hen，只说要chicken，人家指给他一个大公鸡，他摇摇头，说：I don't 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 said"I don't want this one, I want his wife!"

　　四：

　　美国同事问我中午吃了啥?我想说，吃了餐馆打包的东西(应该是doggy bag)话到嘴边变成了dog food。他看着我狂笑三分钟。

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

　　五：

　　去英国时坐飞机，空姐倒完水之后我说Thanks，空姐说Cheers，于是我就对她举了举杯。空姐当时就惊呆了。再之后从海关到机场大巴司机，一路上都有人跟我说cheers，我就疑惑了啊，我这手里也没杯子啊怎么cheers?!

　　When I travelled by air in Britain, the stewardess served me some water and I said "Thanks", she said"cheers", 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!

　　英国人说cheers表示"谢谢，再见"的意思。British use "cheers" as "thank you and good bye!"
