英语里有关人老听力困难(hard of hearing)、耳朵失聪(hearing loss)的笑话多如牛毛,而且几乎每根牛毛都让人忍俊不禁。看看下面两则,不笑都难:
Three retirees, each with a hearing loss, were taking a walk one fine March day. One remarked to the other, "Windy, ain't it?" "No," the second man replied, "It's Thursday." And the third man chimed in, "So am I. Let's have a coke."
————————————————————————————————— Morris, an 82-year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical. A few days later the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young lady on his arm. A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, "You're really doing great, aren't you?" Morris replied, "Just doing what you said, Doctor. 'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.' " The doctor said, "I didn't say that. I said you got a heart mummer and be careful."
先生愣了一下,皱着的眉头舒展开,皮笑肉不笑说道:“The singer is singing DIARY, not DIARRHEA. Listen! Diary['daiəri]、['daiəri]、['daiəri]。。。。。。without [ə]at the end.” (歌手在唱日记,而不是拉稀。听!日记、日记、日记。。。。。。词尾没有[ə]音)
先生哭笑不得:“Honey, what did you talk about? Look at me. I said you give me a lot of p-l-e-a-s-u-r-e, but not p-r-e-s-s-u-r-e. ” (蜂蜜,你说什么?看着我。我说你给我带来很多快乐,而不是压力。)
