6、Switch off

A little monster was learning to play the violin, " I'm good, aren't I?" he asked his big brother.
"You should be on the radio," said his brother.
"You think I'm that good?"
"No, I think you're terrible, but if you were on the radio, I could switch5 you off !"

关掉

一个小淘气在学拉小提琴。“我拉得不错，是吗？"他问他哥哥。
"你应该去电台。"他哥哥说。
"你认为我拉得有那么好吗？"
"不，我觉得你拉得很糟糕，但如果你是在电台，我就可以关掉收音机。"

7、Whose Father Was the Stronger

Will and Bill were quarrelling about whose father was the stronger. Will said, "Well, you know the Pacific Ocean? My father's the one who dug the hole for it."
Bill wasn't impressed, "Well, that's nothing. You know the Dead Sea ? My father's the one who killed it!"

谁的父亲更强壮

威尔和比尔在为谁的父亲更强壮而争吵。威尔说： "喏，你知道太平洋吗？就是我爸爸为它挖的洞。"
比尔不屑一顾： "噢，那没什么。你知道死海吗？那是我爸爸杀死的。"
