英文笑话:The Name of a Poet

时间:2010-05-28 02:59:07

(单词翻译:单击)

Our teacher was telling us about a new system of memory training being used in some schools today.

It works like this, she said. Suppose you wanted tore member the name of a poetRobert Burns, for instance. She told us to think of him as Bobby Burns. Now get in your head a picture of a London policeman, a bobby in flames. See? Bobby Burns!

I see what you mean, said the class know it all. But how can you tell that it's Not Robert Browning?

诗人的名字

我们的老师正在给我们介绍现在某些学校使用的一种新的记忆训练系统。

这个系统是这样的,她说,假定你要记住一个诗人的名字,例如,要记住罗伯特·彭斯的名字。她告诉我们把他当作博比·彭斯,让你的脑海里闪现出一个伦敦警察的形象,燃烧着的警察。明白吗?警察燃烧!

我明白你的意思,班上的万事通说,但是你怎么能说那就不是罗伯特·布朗宁呢?
