Frank was the university’s star basketball player,and he had to get his grades up in order to play in the big game at the end of the season.His coach knew this was impossible without some rule-bending.So he arrange for the professors who were unhappy with Frank’s work to create a special test for him.They finally decided on a good,short quiz.They brought Frank into an empty room that was filled with books,magazines,and a calculator.They told him that he would have three hours to complete the one-question quiz.He agreed,and they left the room.At the end of the three hours,they ask him for his answer.
He said,“ Just a minute!I’ve almost got it!” After ten minutes of this,the professors finally yelled at him,“we need an answer now!How many seconds are there in a year?” they asked.And finally he replied,“12.”
“12?” asked the professors.
“Yeah,the second of January,the second of February,the second of March…”
弗兰克是大学的篮球明星,但是他如果想参加赛季最后那场最重要的比赛还是必须要通过文化课考试的.他的教练知道如果不通融一下,他是绝对通过不了这些考试的,所以他就跟那些对弗兰克课业不满意的老师们商量给他做一次特殊的考试.这些老师最后同意给他来个简单的小测验.他们把弗兰克带到一间空教室,教室里面都是书、杂志、和一个计算器.他们给他三个小时完成这个只有一个问题的测验.弗兰克表示同意,老师们离开了.三个小时之后他们来问答案.
弗兰克说,“等一等,马上算完!”十分钟之后,老师们终于忍不住冲他嚷道:“我们现在就要答案!一年中到底有几秒?(英语中“秒”跟“第二”是同一个词)”弗兰克最后答到:“12.”“12.”老师们反问.
“是的,1月2号,2月2号,3月2号...”(老师们汗...就算误会了second的意思,数十二个月也不用三个小时吧!)
这个笑话利用的是second既有秒的意思,也有第二的意思,用汉语就没法抖出包袱了.
