一道英语阅读题Four Years Old at Home ,Two and a Half in Buses and Trains
Four Years Old at Home ,Two and a Half in Buses and Trains
A mother and her young son got into a bus in a small city and sat down.The bus conductor(售票员)came to them for their money.The mother said,“I want one ticket to Oxford(牛津,英国城市),” and gave her a shilling(先令,英国货币单位)(=12 pence便士).
The conductor looked at the small boy a few seconds(几秒钟) and then said to him,“How old are you,young man?”
The mother began speaking,but the conductor stopped her,and the boy said,“I’m four years old at home,and two and a half on buses and trains.”
The mother took six pence(便士) out of her bag and gave the money to the conductor.The conductor gave her one and a half tickets.
1、How old is the boy
2、How much is the ticket to Oxford for adult (成人)?
3、How many ticket does the woman need
主要是那小孩子说的话看不懂,
答案:1 the boy is 4 years old.
2 a shilling/12 pence
3 one and a half
小孩说:“我在家里是4岁,在公交车和火车上是两岁半.”
(4岁小孩要买半票,而两岁半就不用买票.小孩的妈妈为了逃票,所以教小孩在公交车和火车上要说自己两岁半,而实际小孩是4岁.)
