Q
David was out for a walk when it started to rain. He did not have'anumbrella and he wasn’t wearing a hat. His clothes were soaked, yet not a single hair on his head got wet. How could this happen?
戴维到外面散步正赶上下雨,他没有雨伞,也没有戴帽子。他的衣服湿透了,但他的头发却没有湿。这是为什么?
A
Because he’s bald.
因为他是秃头。
点睛一笔
soak是动词,意思是“渗透,浸泡”,single是形容词,意思是“单一的,单个的”,问题中“not a single hair”意思是“没有一根头发”。在没有雨伞(umbrella)、没有帽子(hat)的情况下,只有戴维是秃头(bald),在下雨的时候头发才不会湿!
