我為一家制造電腦晶片的半導(dǎo)體公司工作。有一次,我的一位阿姨問我是做什么的,我告訴她我在完成電子工程的學(xué)業(yè)后,開始在一家芯片設(shè)計公司工作。

After a pause for few seconds, she asked:

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

她:“我們美國人每次說到印度就只會開始談?wù)摗敦毭窨叩陌偃f富翁》,怎么能這樣,這太不公平了?!?/div>

我(很驚訝,因為我之前從沒聽說過):“啊,那確實挺討厭?!?/div>

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,你們過著非常奢侈的生活,我不知道為什么只有關(guān)于貧民窟的傳言?!?/div>

我——“哈?”

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

The most illogical question that every student in India must have been asked by his/her teacher:
在印度,每個的學(xué)生都曾被他/她的老師問到的最沒有意義的問題:

"Homework kaisa bhul gaye ? Kabhi khaana khana bhulte ho ?"

Translation:
翻譯過來就是:

"How did you forget doing your Homework? Do you ever forget eating food ?"
“你怎么能忘記做作業(yè)?你有忘記過吃東西嗎?”

Just doesn't make sense.
這根本就說不通啊。
