我曾听说过两则令人笑不出来的笑话：某重点中学一住宿生，一次周末回家时，将几个煮熟的鸡蛋又原封不动地带回家，母亲诧异地询问，方知儿子竟不知如何剥去蛋壳，又羞于求教，于是，鸡蛋“住宿”一周又回家。另一则说的是一位飘洋过海抵达大洋彼岸的公费留学生，上岸伊始，立 I have heard two laughable jokes: A key middle school student stays home. When he comes home on a weekend, he brings some cooked eggs back home. The mother asks in a strange way. The son did not know how to peel off the eggshell and was ashamed to ask for advice. Then, the egg “stayed” and returned home once a week. The other one is talking about a publicly-funded student who has crossed the ocean to the other side of the ocean.
