賴世雄讀英語笑話學英語之高尚職業笑話(9)：還是家里好(雙語)
Unit 9 Home, Sweet Home 還是家里好
A surgeon returned from a safari in Africa.
一位外科醫生剛從非洲狩獵回來。
“How did it go?” asked his colleagues.
“這次打獵順利嗎？”同僚問道。
“Oh, it was very disappointing,” replied the surgeon. “I didn’t kill a thing. In fact, I’d have been better off staying here in the hospital.”
“喔，實在太令人失望了，”外科醫生答道“。我什么也沒獵殺到，實際上，還是待在醫院里比較有成就感。”
英語知識點解說：
1.surgeon n. 外科醫生
physician n. 內科醫生
2.safari n. 在野生動物園狩獵；探險
3.How did it go? （打獵進行得如何？）
=How did your hunting go?
=How was it going
另外平常朋友見面問候也常用此句，但 be 動詞為現在式。以下例句都有“How are you?（你好嗎 ？）”的意思。
How is it going?
How are you doing?
How is everything going?
How are you getting along?
How have you been?
4.colleague n. 同事
5.disappointed a. 感到失望的
disappointing a. 令人失望的
disappointment n. 失望
例：Tom was disappointed by Mary's lack of response.
（湯姆對于瑪麗沒有反應感到失望。）
6.be better off 生活過得較好（乃由 be well off 轉變而來）
例：Don't you think you'd be better off in a different line of work?
（你不認為你在別的行業會較有發展嗎？）
