A businessman got on an elevator with a businesswoman.

She smiled at him and said, "T-G-I-F." He smiled back and said, "S-H-I-T."

The woman was surprised and puzzled.

She said, "T-G-I-F，Thank Goodness It's Friday, get it?”

The man answered, "Sorry, Honey, It's Thursday."

Notes:

1.A businessman got on an elevator with a businesswoman.

一個(gè)男企業(yè)家和一個(gè)女企業(yè)家進(jìn)了電梯。

"elevator"是指有車廂的電梯.“電動(dòng)手扶梯"則是 "escalator"。"get on"除了可以表示搭電梯之外，也可以表示 “登上(大型的交通工具，如：巴上)、騎上(機(jī)動(dòng)車、自行車、 馬等)”.若是搭乘轎車，則必須用"get in"因?yàn)閛n有“在… 之上”的意思，而in則有“在…之內(nèi)”的意思。

businessman [?b?zn?smæn] n.男企業(yè)家;男性商人

elevator [?el?ve?t?(r)] n.電梯

businesswoman [?b?zn?smæn] n.女企業(yè)家;女性商人

escalator [?esk?le?t?(r)] n.電動(dòng)年扶梯

2.She smiled at him and said, "T-G-I-F."

她笑著對(duì)他說(shuō)：“T-G-I-F”。

3.He smiled back and said, "S-H-I-T."

他回她一個(gè)微笑并說(shuō)：“S-H-I-T。”

若把S-H-I-T拼在一起念，就變成了表示憤怒的感嘆詞shit(可惡)了，他這么說(shuō)，恐怕電梯里的女士會(huì)一陣錯(cuò)愕。

4.The woman was surprised and puzzled.

這個(gè)女人感到吃驚而且困惑。

puzzled [?p?zld] adj.困惑的

5.She said, "T-G-I-F，Thank Goodness It's Friday, get it?”

她說(shuō)：“T-G-I-F,感謝老天，今天星期五了，你聽(tīng)明白了嗎?”

句中的"goodness"也可以用God替換。"goodness"在這里當(dāng)感嘆詞用，用以表示驚訝或憤怒等，如：Thank Goodness!(謝天謝地!)、My goodness!(天哪!)

美國(guó)人喜歡玩這種游戲，只說(shuō)出每個(gè)詞的第一個(gè)字母， 讓對(duì)方去猜它真正的含義，這種游戲稱為頭字語(yǔ) (acronym )，如：ASAP( as soon as possible >表示“越快越好”TGIF是美國(guó)人常用的頭字語(yǔ)，表示終于熬到星期五了，要放假了!

6.The man answered, "Sorry, Honey, It's Thursday."

這個(gè)男人回答說(shuō)：“對(duì)不起，親愛(ài)的，今天是星期四。”

聽(tīng)到這句話,女士應(yīng)該會(huì)在心里喊“Shit!"
