话说中国人喜欢说谐音歇后语，一句话分两半说，前一部分出个谜语，后一部分利

汉语才能歇后，英语中也有，而且比汉语更邪乎，比如下面的Dogandbone就是一

现在国内学英语还是很热。我个人的经验(可能也是很多人的经验)是，用到多少，学
多少。比如你是搞科研的，应着重在英语科研文章阅读和写作上下功夫，英语口语
就不必花太多时间；因为花了很多时间，没有用到，最后全忘掉。学英语需要一本好词典。<<新英汉词典>是大家常用的词典。应该说，<<新英汉词典

国外有不少“洋”汉学家(Sinologist)。他们大多数是白人男士。有些人还有华裔(或中国籍)的妻子。照理说，这些人耳濡目染，中文水平应该不错；但实际上，他们的中文水平真不敢恭维。这方面的笑话很多。比如，中文“洋”教授不知道“打的”是什么意思。我读了不少中文小说的英译本。凡是“洋”汉学家翻译的，都有很多错误。比如不知道“黄河[阅读全文]
