Example
Student: Mr Griffiths!
格里菲思先生？
Teacher: Yes?
什么事？
Student: Sir, are you wearing new shoes?
老师，你穿新鞋了？
Teacher: Yes, I am. Why?
是的。怎么了？
Student: Because they are sick!
鞋很漂亮。
Teacher: Sick?
很难看？
Student: Totally sick, sir.
很好看。
Teacher: Well, young man. As you find them so terrible, how about you give me 100 lines saying... saying...
年轻人。如果你觉得鞋难看，你给我写100遍……？
Student: No, no, I like them! Sick means cool!
不，我很喜欢你的鞋。sick意思是“很酷”。
Teacher: First I've heard of it.
我还是第1次听到这种用法。
Yang Li: 今天真是怪事连连，这个老师居然因为这件事，让学生写100遍保证作为一种惩罚。So what do I say if I really am sick? (如果我真的感到很不舒服该如何说？)
William: I'm feeling sick. Or I'm feeling ill.
Yang Li: Ok, 我觉得我们得从上下文才能猜出这句话的真正意思。
William: Anyway, like I was saying I love the make-up Li.But maybe next time don't wear green eye-shadow.
无论如何，就像我说的我喜欢化妆的李。也许下次你不应该画绿色的眼影。
Yang Li: Why?
什么？
William: It makes you look a bit, erm，sick.
那使你看上去有点……？
Yang Li: 我算服了。这英语的意思也太难琢磨了。Bye.
William: Bye.
