a wild guess
Our physics professor was sruggling to draw the class into discussion of Archiimede's principe of water displacement. He told us that Archimede noticed that when he got into a pool at the public bathhouse, the water rose spilling over the edge. Excited at his discovery ,he ran down the street yelling ,"Eureka,eureka!" The instructor asked if anyone knew what that meant.
One student stood up and answered ,I'm naked! l'm naked!"
一个胡乱的猜测
我们的物理教授正在努力尝试把学生引入关于排水量的阿基米德原理的讨论。他告诉我们当阿基米德进入公共浴室的池子中时他注意到水漫出了浴缸边。由于这个发现,他兴奋的跑到街上并大叫道:”我找到了!我找到了!“教授问道是否有人知道这代表什么。
一个学生站起来回答道“我裸(奔)了,我裸(奔)了”
Eureka是找到了,有了的意思

借牛
很久很久以前,住着一个有钱人,但是他不识字。有一天,他的一个朋友想从他那里借一头牛,所以写了一个信条让他的仆人带去给那个有钱人。

Watch the Fight
Late one night,hopkins was woken up by two men fighting in the street.As Hopkins loved nothing better than to watch a fight,he opened his window and looked out,but when they saw him watching them,they went round the corner of the house. Hopkins didn't want to miss anything,but,asit was a cold night ,he wrapped himself in a blanket before he went out.
The two men were still shouting and struggling.Hopkins went close to them,but as soon as he was within reach,they seized his blanket and ran away.Hopkins was too old to run after them,so he could do nothing but go sadly back to bed.
"Well."said his wife,"what were they fighting about?"
"It seems that they were fighting about my blanket."answered Hopkins,"because as soon as they got it ,they quarrel ebded.
看打架
一天深夜,霍普金斯被两名在街上打架的人吵醒,由于没有什么比打架更让霍普金斯喜欢的了,他打开窗户向外看,但是当打架的人看到他在看他们时,他们跑到了屋角。霍普金斯不愿错过任何镜头,但由于这天很冷,他在出门前裹了条毯子。
这两人还在吼叫和扭打,霍普金斯靠近他们,但刚到能被他们碰到的地方,他们抢了他的毯子就跑了。霍普金斯由于太老而无法追他们,所以他只能难过的回到床上。
“恩,他妻子问道”他们为了什么而打斗?“
看起来他们为了我的毯子而打架的,霍普金斯回答道,因为当他们拿到的时候,他们就不吵了
