第11期雙語笑話加練習題 廣告 An Ad
After a beautiful purebred puppy wandered onto our back porch and made himself at home, my husband composed an ad for the "Lost and found" column of the local newspaper. It read: "A puppy, male, approximately nine months old, no collar, very friendly, found on Rockbridge Road. "
I feared all the detail might encourage an unscrupulous person to claim the dog. As I methodically explained why each clue revealed too much, my husband dutifully crossed out the words. Finally, in frustration, he rewrote the ad, reducing it to a single sentence that I couldn't refute.
It read: "Guess what I found?"
Notes:
(1) purebred adj.純種的 (8) methodically adj.有條不紊地
(2) puppy adj.小狗；幼犬 (9) clue n.線索
(3) porch n.門廊 (10) reveal v.透露
(4) compose v.構思；作 (11) dutifully adv.盡職地
(5) approximately adv.將近 (12) cross out畫橫線以刪除
(6) cellar n.項圈 (13) frustration n.挫折
(7) unscrupulous adj.無恥的； (14) refute v.反駁

129.廣告
一只漂亮的純種狗來到我們的后門廊并已此為家了。我丈夫為當地的“失物招領”欄目構思了一則廣告。它是這樣寫的：“小狗，雄性，近九個月年齡，無項圈，很友善，發現于石橋路。”
我害怕這樣的細節會給那些昧著良心要狗的人以可乘之機。我有條不紊地解釋為什么每個線索都透露得太多，我丈夫就盡職地劃去一些詞。終于，出于為難，他重新寫了廣告，把它縮為一個我無法反駁的句子。
它是這樣寫的：“猜猜我發現了什么？”
練習參考答案：
① onto ② made ③ composed ④ claim ⑤out
