言者無心: 讓人捧腹的英語報紙標題

http://blog.creaders.net/hupanwenhuo/user_blog_diary.php?did=68248

下面的報刊頭條標題一眼看眉頭就皺了。編輯先生瘋了嗎？

其實我們都知道標題的本意，可是不慎的編輯，卻導致這些“言者無心，聽者有意”的搞笑。

如果您也覺得這些標題很怪，那就證明您的英語水平顯然已經過關了。

（您將如何改好這些標題呢？)

COMPLAINTS ABOUT NUDE WOMEN SWIMMERS GROWING UGLY

LACK OF BRAINS HINDERS RESEARCH

KIDS MAKE NUTRITIOUS SNACKS

MILK DRINKERS ARE TURNING TO POWDER

DRUNK GETS NINE MONTHS IN VIOLIN CASE

MINERS REFUSE TO WORK AFTER DEATH

QUEEN ELIZABETH II HAVING BOTTOM SCRAPED

INCLUDE YOUR CHILDREN WHEN BAKING COOKIES

TWO SOVIET SHIPS COLLIDE，ONE DIES

解釋：您看看，第一個標題的意思究竟是

(1) people are complaining because the women are growing ugly?

(2) people are complaining because the women are nude and growing ugly?

還是

(3) people's complaints are getting nasty (ugly) about women who swim in the nude" 呢？

到底這些 “complaints” 指的是什麼東西呢？

正確的答案是 (3)。

What is the big deal?

1.Lack of brains hinder research.

Not enough people with expertize will make it difficult to carry out research.

2.Kids make nutritious snacks

Children (in an activitity) make snacks that are nutritious.........not " snacks using kids as an ingredient so as to become nutritious"

3.Milk drinkers are turning to powder

People who drink milk have decided to drink milk made by mixing powder with water.....not " milk drinkers have been pulverized into powder"

4.Drunks get nine months in violin case

A drunk driver is sentenced to nine months in jail in a case involving violin .....not " a drunk driver is put inside a violin case"

5.Miners refuse to work after death

After a mine accident causing somebody's death, the miners refuse to work...not " miners not wanting to work after they die"

6. QE 2 having bottom scraped

The luxury ocean liner QE 2 's ship bottom was scraped by ocean floor.......not " Queen of England getting her ass scraped by her her attendant or somebody"

7. Two soviet ships collide, one dies

Two ships collide, one person die. One of the ship didn't die.

老木好！
好一段時間沒看到木爺的笑話，心裡有點失落的，因此自己來填補你留下的空間。當然兩分錢的笑話是絕不能和老木的攀比的！

周末愉快！

沒啥問題呀。。。挺有道理的嗎。If a woman grows, she will become older, and older, and if she still does nude swimming, of course that would be pretty ugly. I had seen that at the Wreck Beach off UBC campus. Although, "KIDS MAKE NUTRITIOUS SNACKS", that is pretty scary!
