失误的交流
一天,小明去参加了一场英语演讲比赛。当轮到他上台时,他充满自信地说道:“Ladies and gentlemen, today I'm going to tell you a joke in English.”(女士们先生们,我今天要用英语给你们讲一个笑话。)观众们鼓掌欢迎,小明兴致勃勃地继续说:“So, there were two fish in a tank. One fish turned to the other and said, 'Do you know how to drive this thing?'”(有两条鱼在水槽里,一条鱼转身对另一条说:“你知道怎么开这玩意吗?”)然而,小明突然发现自己的笑话没有引起观众的笑声,于是他纠正道:“Wait, wait, wait! I think there might be a little misunderstanding. I mean, a military tank, not a fish tank…”(等一下!我觉得可能有点误会,我的意思是军用坦克,不是鱼缸……)观众们顿时爆笑,小明尴尬地笑了起来,这场笑话瞬间变成了一场笑话的笑话。
