英語裏有關人老聽力困難(hard of hearing)、耳朵失聰(hearing loss)的笑話多如牛毛,而且幾乎每根牛毛都讓人忍俊不禁。看看下麵兩則,不笑都難:
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,皺著的眉頭舒展開,皮笑肉不笑說道:“The singer is singing DIARY, not DIARRHEA. Listen! Diary['daiəri]、['daiəri]、['daiəri]。。。。。。without [ə]at the end.” (歌手在唱日記,而不是拉稀。聽!日記、日記、日記。。。。。。詞尾沒有[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,你說什麽?看著我。我說你給我帶來很多快樂,而不是壓力。)
