英語幽默笑話是英語學習中少有的快樂添加劑,既能增強閱讀理解能力,還能增進學習興趣。下面是小編整理的幽默笑話:Settle Down and Settle Up 一字之差的內(nèi)容,希望你會喜歡!
When my brother, a notorious spender, came home for a visit, he told my father he was going to get married and settle down. Dad said, "Why don't you stay single and settle up."
我的哥哥是個有名的揮霍者。他回家來時,告訴父親說他要結(jié)婚了,要安定下來。父親說:“你為什么不實行獨身主義,先把欠債還清呢?” 注:settle down是“安定下來”,而settle up 是“還清欠債”意思,二者雖只是up與 down不同,但意思卻完全不同。
