Logic Reasoning 邏輯推理
A fourth-grade teacher was giving her pupils a lesson on logic.
小學四年級的教師正在給學生們上一堂邏輯課。她舉了這么一個例子。
Here is the situation, she said. A man is standing up in a boat in the middle of a river, fishing. He loses his balance, falls in, and begins splashing and yelling for help.
有這樣一種情況,一個男人在河中心的船上釣魚,突然失去重心掉進了水里。于是他開始掙扎并喊救命。
His wife hears the commotion, knows that he can't swim, and runs down to the bank. Why do you think she ran to the bank?
他的妻子聽到了他的喊聲,知道他并不會游泳,所以她就急忙跑向河岸。誰能告訴我這是為什么?
A girl raised her hand and asked, to draw out all of his savings?
一個女生舉手答道,是不是去取他的存款?
1.fourth-grade
fourth-grade表示四年級。
提問說你讀幾年級了:
What grade are you in?
Which grade are you in?
如果進一步問班級的話,則可以用what class are you in?
比如現在要回答,我是一年級一班的:
I'm in Class One Grade One.(我在一年級一班)
2.bank
bank在這里是指河岸的意思。
這個女生之所以鬧出笑話,就是因為誤把bank理解為銀行,所以才說出to draw out all of his savings這種話。
