漫談英語:My tiny newt

2016-06-10

The girl is introducing her pet newt as Tiny. When her friend asks why the newt has that name, she explains it is because it is "my newt"- in English this is pronounced exactly the same as the word "minute", which means very small or tiny.

女孩剛開始養一隻新寵物-水螈(newt),朋友問,為什麼寵物名叫Tiny(細小)?女孩回答說,因為牠是my newt啊!(My newt和minute-細小、細微的意思、讀音相同。)■漫畫&說明︰英國文化協會
