A little boy asked his dad, "Do you know who the greatest detective in the world is?"
His father replied, "Know her — say, I married her!"
Notes:
1. A little boy asked his dad, "Do you know who the greatest detective in the world is?"
一個小男孩問他爸爸;“你知道世界上最厲害的偵探是誰嗎?”
detective n.偵探
2. His father replied, "Know her — say, I married her!"
他爸爸因答:“豈止知道她——嘿,我還娶了她!”
"say"也可以當感嘆詞,當表達驚訝、贊嘆、抗議、同情, 或想引起別人注意時,都可以用say。日常生活中,在跟人打招呼,想引起別人的注意時可以用say,意思同"hello",如:Say, what are you doing? 喂!你在干什么?
這個句中的say是驚訝的意思,表示:我怎么可能會不知道世界上最厲害的偵探是誰呢?我妻子每天檢查我的通訊記錄,偷翻我的公事包,她是世界上最杰出的偵探!
