Do you know why the chicken crossed the road?


Either 1 to escape Kentucky Fried Chicken or just to get to the other side.


 


 


Notes:


 


1. Do you know why the chicken crossed the road?


 


你知道为什么鸡要过马路吗?


 


这是-个美国很典型的冷笑话(Stupid Joke).很简单,很荒谬,有出人意料的答案。这个问题的答案有成千上万个,且还在不断增加。To get to the other side.(到另一边去。) 是最原始的答案。


 


2. Either to escape Kentucky Fried Chicken or just to get to the other side.


 


或是为了逃离肯德基,或只是为了到另一边去。


 


"A escape B"表示A已经预见B会追来,于是先逃离、躲避;"A escape from B"则表示B正在追捕A,而A正在逃离B的追捕。所以这个句子表示桑德斯上校(KFC的创办人)可能还没发现这只鸡,但鸡已经看见了他,所以先跑为快;如果是"To escape from Colonel Sanders."’则表示这只鸡正在逃离桑德斯上校的追杀。


 


either... or...不是…就是…;…或…


 


Kentucky [ken'tʌkɪ] n.(美国)肯塔基州


 


colonel [ˈkɜ:nl] n.上校


 


Sanders [ˈsændəs] n.桑德斯(男子名)
