[backcolor=#FFFFCC][table=100%][tr][td]
[size=3][color=#663300]你曾经因为一字之差而闹笑话吗?有哪些字是你刻骨铭心的惨痛经验?你觉得有哪些关键字汇让你顿足捶胸,或茅塞顿开? 

当考路的考官说“pull over”时,你是否会不知所措?

有人邀请你参加“Potluck Party”时,你会不会空手赴宴?

在速食店里,店员问“for here or to go?”你是否会丈二金刚摸不着头脑,莫名其妙?

“Give me a ring!”可不是用来求婚的。

“Drop me a line!” 更非要你排队站好。

老美说“Hi! What's up!”你可别说“I am fine!”你曾经闹过这些笑话吗?

this sentense "有人邀请你参加“Potluck Party”时,你会不会空手赴宴?" remind me a story when i was young. (of course it's in chinese). at that time, a friend of mine is going to have a birthday party and invite me to take part in.  she emphasize that i don't need to give gifts to her . so i am very apprehensive. i  don't know to send her the gift or not.  if everyone give her gift, but i don't have. may i be laughed at? so after a few hours, before i go to the party, i decided to hide my gift into a bag, if others give her gifts, i will never to too different.
xixi~~~
