病人讲的三句话都是十分“paradoxical”(似是而非)
Key words:
1. to sprinple 喷洒 to ~ salt 洒盐
他说:我从来不往冰淇淋上撒盐的
2. caffeine 咖啡因 de-表示“去除”的前缀。decaffeinated coffee
去除了咖啡因的咖啡; Decaf 脱因咖啡,
e.g.: Watress, I‘d like a decaf. 我要一杯脱因咖啡。 I only like decalf coke. 我只喜欢脱因可乐。
但是没有听说过披萨有这样的
3. fat脂肪 be 100% fat free 100%无脂,也没有听说啤酒含有脂肪的
所以,其幽默在于这位先生所谓的减肥全都是假的!
日常生活中的简写词还有不少,如:
1. Can you pass me the remote(=remote controller 遥控器)?
2. The AC (=air-conditioner,空调)in my room isn't working. Couold you have someone come up and take a look at it?
3. I heard you're a sci-fi(=scietific fiectio,科幻)writer. It that true?
4. I've been to the US, but I've never been to DC (District of Columbia,华盛顿(哥伦比亚特区).
