哪些問題讓你無語?範例

I work for a semiconductor company which45 makes electronic chips. On being asked about what I do, I once told to one of my aunts that after completing my electronics engineering, I had started working in a chip designing company.

我爲一家制造電腦晶片的半導體公司工作。有一次，我的一位阿姨問我是做什麼的，我告訴她我在完成電子工程的學業後，開始在一家芯片設計公司工作。

After a pause for few seconds, she asked:

停頓了幾秒後，她問道：

"What are your most popular flavors? Are the chips as good as Lays??"

“那你最喜歡什麼口味呢？那些薯片和樂事一樣好吃嗎？”（注：Chip雙關，是芯片，又是薯片。）

I had no idea what to say.

我不知道該說什麼好。

Conversation with a girl on the Subway in NYC :

和一個妹子在紐約市地鐵上的對話：

Her:"Are you from India?"

她：“你來自印度嗎？”

Me:"Yes"

我：“是的。”

Her:"Really unfair how we Americans just start talking about Slumdog millionaire everytime we talk to an Indian"

她：“我們美國人每次說到印度就只會開始談論《貧民窟的百萬富翁》，怎麼能這樣，這太不公平了。”

Me(Surprised because I'd never heard that before):"Ya, that's really annoying"

我（很驚訝，因爲我之前從沒聽說過）：“啊，那確實挺討厭。”

Her:"I mean India isn't all slums, I was in Dubai last year, you guys lead a pretty luxurious lifestyle, dunno why only word about slums goes around"

她：“我是說印度不全是貧民窟，我去年在迪拜，你們過着非常奢侈的生活，我不知道爲什麼只有關於貧民窟的傳言。”

Me - "huh??"

我——“哈？”

Her:"I guess its mainly because of states like Pakistan and Bangladesh!"

她：“我猜這主要是因爲巴基斯坦和孟加拉那樣的州！”

Me – speechless

我——無語了。

"Are you sleeping?"

“你睡了嗎？”

The most illogical question that every student in India must have been asked by his/her teacher:

在印度，每個的學生都曾被他/她的老師問到的最沒有意義的問題：

"How did you forget doing your Homework? Do you ever forget eating food ?"

“你怎麼能忘記做作業？你有忘記過吃東西嗎？”

Just doesn't make sense.

這根本就說不通啊。
