THE SCHOOL HEALTH FORMS had been distributed to the students with an error---the word "Sex" had been spelled with an "o". One mother, filling out the form for her son, wrote in the blank next to "Sox": "Usually brown."
某學(xué)校發(fā)給學(xué)生的健康調(diào)查表里有個(gè)錯(cuò)別字——把“性別”的“性”字寫成了“襪”字。一位母親在為她的兒子填寫表格時(shí),在“襪別”的那欄填上了:“棕色為主。”
[注] 英語中sex(性)與sox(襪)只有一個(gè)字母之差。
