名人故事（雙語）：作家的玩笑

作家的玩笑

Author James Thurber depended on words for entertainment. He told me once about a trick he played on a nurse during one of his hospital stays. He asked her what a seven-letter word had three U's in it. She thought and then said, "I don't know, but it must be unusual!" 作家詹姆士·瑟伯用詞來消遣。 他曾經(jīng)告訴我有一次住院時(shí)在一個(gè)護(hù)士身上所開的玩笑。他問她哪一個(gè)7個(gè)字母的單詞有三個(gè)U。她想了想，然后說：“我不知道，不過這個(gè)單詞準(zhǔn)是unusual(異乎尋常的)!”
