有不少：英语笑话（一） Q: What's the difference between a monkey and a flea? A: A monkey can have fleas, but a flea can't have monkeys. 猴子会和跳蚤有什么不同呢？你可能会直接的想到它们俩是一大一小。但除此之外呢，那就是猴子身上可以长跳蚤，而跳蚤身上却不能有猴子。这个答案很有意思吧？ Q: How can you most irritate a farmer? A: By treading on his corn? 如果你踩了农夫的玉米或是谷物，他肯定会生气的；而如果你踩了农夫脚底的鸡眼，他会更生气。Corn既可以表示“玉米/谷物”，也有“鸡眼”的意思。 Q: Which is the strongest creature in the world? A: The snail. It carries its house on its back. 因为snail（蜗牛）的后背上总是背着一所房子，所以说蜗牛是世界上最强壮的生物是不足为奇的。你说呢？ Q: What do people do in a clock factory? A: They make faces all day. 一看到make faces这个短语，你可千万别以为是在钟表厂工作的人整天都做鬼脸呀！因为除了这个意思以外，它还可以从字面上解释为制造钟面。 Q: How do you stop a sleepwalker from walking in his sleep?

Golden childhood.童年，是金色而无杂质的，童年的桩桩趣事就是最有力的见证.Childhood is golden and pure, for which the funs of childhood provide sufficent evidence.我小时候最害怕的莫过于蛇了，而乡下比我大两岁的表姐最爱玩蛇。When I was a child, what I fear most is snake, however, playing with snakes was my cousin favorite, who 's 2 years older than me and lived in countryside.一年夏季，我回乡下看望爷爷、奶奶。一天，表姐带我来到了一个小池塘玩。In a summer day, When I paid a visit to my grandparents in the countryside, She took me to a small pound.突然，我看到了一条小蛇，正用恶毒的眼光看着我，火红的舌头一吐一吐的， 吓的我腿都发抖了。Suddenly, I saw a small snake glaring at me me viciously, sticking a blood red tougue. I felt my legs trembling with fear.这时，我突然想起奶奶曾经告诉过我，遇见蛇不能怕，也不能跑。第一，把头发弄乱，万不可让她数清；第二，用舌头吓唬她，让她感到不安全而逃走。我想到这些，立马把原本好好的头发搞得一团糟，又乱吐舌头。Then, I remembered that my grandmother once told me that you must not fear, or run at the sight of a snake. Firstly, muffle your hair messy so as not to allow the snake to count out your hair. Secondly, stick out your tongue to frighten the snake, and make it feel unsafe and flee. At the thought of these, I messed up my tidy hair, and stuck my tongue at it.蛇的确感到不安了，掉头就跑。这时我才感喊：蛇！表姐赶紧跑过来，可是蛇一眨眼就不见了，这时我的心才逐渐安静下来。回到家里一照镜子，妈呀，我的头发乱蓬蓬的，就像草垛。奶奶一本正经的扒扒我的头发说：“小祖宗，鸡蛋让你弄哪去了？”哎，奶奶把我的头发当鸡窝了！The snake seemed indeed agitated, and turned around, slid away. Finally, I found myself shouting "Snake!", but the snake disapeared before my sister came up to me. My peaceful mind was regained. When I reached home, I gasped, because my hair was as messy as a pile of grass. My grandmother comed my hair with her hand and spoke in a matter-of-fact voice "mylady, where did you hide the eggs?" oh, she was taking my hair as a chicken nest.童年，宛若星空，又蓝又美；童趣，宛若星辰，照亮了星空，使原本漆黑的星空透出点点亮光。Childhood is like a beautiful starry sky,Childhood funs are like stars that light up the dark sky.

A Piece Of Cake 小菜一碟 I knew little about English when I first came to America, so everyday I went to a language school to learn English. One day during the break I asked one of my classmates a question which I didn't understand. Then I thanked her for it , and she said: "You are welcome! It's a piece of cake!" I thought to myself: America is really a society for money in which everything is done for pay, so I asked her: "I hadn't taken any pieces of cake with me today, what about a piece of biscuit?" She showed a puzzled expression first, then she smiled, Knowing that she hadn't got her words accoss，she said, "A piece of cake means 'No problem', and it's just a raffle thing." On hearing that, I came to learn that a piece of cake not only means a piece of cake, but also means things that is very easy. 我刚到美国时,不太懂英语.于是我每天都到一所语言学校去学英语.一天在课间的时候,有个问题我不太懂,于是就问我的一个同学.她告诉了我答案,我向她道谢,她回道:"没关系!It's a piece of cake!"我心里在想,美国真的是一个金钱社会,做什么事情要都报酬.于是我说:"我今天没有带蛋糕,来片饼干行么?" 听到我的回答,她看起来很迷惑,然后她笑了,明白我没有听懂她的话.她说:" A piece of cake的意思是'没关系',这只是一件小事情."听到她的话,我明白了,a piece of cake 不仅是一小块蛋糕,还指的是一件很容易做的事情.随便在网上搜一下“英语俚语故事”就会发现一大把有关英语的趣事，篇幅不长，也简单
