第9课：幽默的 - 7

【迷你小对话】

A: What did you get Brad for his birthday?
B: Well, since he’s a professional clown, I thought I would get him one of those jokey T-shirts.
A: What do you mean?
B: You know, a T-shirt with a funny phrase like, “I love animals, they taste great.” or “We are born naked, wet, and hungry. Then things get worse.”

A: Brad过生日你准备送什么？
B: 嗯，因为他是个职业小丑，我想我会给他买一件滑稽的T恤衫。
A: 什么意思？
B: 就是上面印有很搞笑的话的那种，比如“我喜欢动物，它们很好吃。”或者“我们赤条条、湿漉漉、饥饿着降生。之后越来越糟。”

【语言点精讲】

professional: 专业的；职业的；职业性的。
