--Why did the little boy throw the butter out the window?
--To see the butterfly.
--你為什麼把那根黃油(butter)扔到窗外去?
--我想看butterfly。
【說明】butterfly是「蝴蝶」,拆為butter fly就是「黃油飛」。
再看一個例子:
A: Jay. what are you doing with that stick of butter?
B: I’m going to throw it out the window. I want to see the butter fly.
A: Don't be silly! Buttercan't fly! But a butterfly can. Let's into the garden and see if we can find one.
A:傑伊。你拿那根butter(黃油)幹什麼?
B:我要把它扔出窗外。我想看butterfly(蝴蝶)。
A:別傻了!butter(黃油)不能飛!但butterfly(蝴蝶)可以。我們到花園裡去看看能不能找到一個。
