英语笑话:Direction Lights 方向灯
The man said to his son, "Could you check and see if the direction lights are working on your side of the car?"
His son looked out the window and said, "Yes, no, yes, no, yes, no, yes, no..."
Notes:
1. A man and his son were riding in the car.
有一个男人和他儿子坐在车上。
2. The man said to his son, "Could you check and see if the direction lights are working on your side of the car?"
这个男人对他儿子说：“检查一下你那边的方向灯有没有坏，行吗?”
“方向灯”也有其他说法，如：blinkers, turn signal, directional signal,各种车灯说法分别为:headlight (头灯)、 taillight(尾灯〉、reversing light!(倒车灯)、brake ligbt(刹车灯)。
blinker [ˈblɪŋkə(r)] n.闪光信号灯 signal [ˈsɪgnəl] n.信号 directional [dəˈrekʃənl] adj.方向的
headlight [ˈhedlaɪt] n.头灯 taillight ['teɪllaɪt] n.尾灯 reverse [rɪ'vɜːs] adj.例转的
brake [breɪk] n.刹车
3. His son looked out the window and said, "Yes, no, yes, no, yes, no, yes, no..."
他的儿子把头伸出窗外说：“有，没布，有，没有，有，没有…"
"look out the window"有两个意思：①看窗外;②把头伸出窗外看。在本句中的含义是“把头伸出窗外看”因为头必须伸出窗外，才能看到方向灯。方向灯总是一亮一灭的, 所以孩子就以为方向灯忽好忽坏。
