   Are you shortsighted? ( nearsighted / shortsighted )


  多年前我在Community College进修英文,某日老师进入教室后向我们宣布,她得眼镜坏了,看不清楚字,今天不用课本,以自由交谈得方式上课。我立刻打开话匣子问老师:“Are you shortsighted?”老师瞪了我一眼,然后用冷淡的音调回答:“I am not shortsighted。”
  我仍然不知趣的继续问她:“How come you can't see very well?”这时候老师知道我又在说中国英文,便心平气和利用机会来教育我们,她说:“I am a nearsighted person. I am not shortsighted. There is a difference between nearsightedness and shortsighted."
  Nearsighted表示此人视力有问题,而shortsightedness表示此人没有远见的意思!
