1. Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you. 麻煩沒來找你，就別去自找麻煩。
第一、四個trouble是動詞，第二、三個trouble是名詞。
2. I think that that that that that student wrote on the blackboard was wrong. 我認為那個學生寫在黑板上的那個“that”是錯誤的。
第一個that是連詞，引起賓語從句；第二、五個that是指示代詞“那個”；第三個that在這兒相當於名詞；第四個that是關系代詞，引起定語從句。
3. I know. You know. I know that you know. I know that you know that I know. 我知道。你知道。我知道你知道。我知道你知道我知道。
4. We must hang together, or we'll be hanged separately. 我們必須團結在一起，否則我們將被一個個絞死。
這是一句雙關語。前面的hang together是“團結一致”的意思，後面的hanged是“絞死”的意思。
5. The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog. 那只敏捷的棕色狐狸跳過了一只懶惰的狗。
這個句子包含了英語中的26個字母。
6. Was it a bar or a bat I saw? 我看到的是酒吧還是蝙蝠？
這是一句回文句，順著讀和倒著讀是一樣的。
7. 2B or not 2B, that is a ？
這是一種文字簡化遊戲。它的意思是：To be or not to be, that is a question.
haha, the 2nd one is easier to understand if it added punctuations (there should be... dunno why it wasn't included....) let me show u what it means:
I think that that "that" that that student wrote on the blackboard was wrong.
is it clearer now for you guys? =)
i dun understand #6....
we learned lines like these but in ENG 12 class, the teacher wrote: "Was it a bar or a bat I saw?" He said, the words "bar" and "bat" has more than one meaning, so it depends on how the person interprets it....
ie) bar: one can imply a bar as in place that sells alcoholic drinks or just a bar as the physical object; similar for "bat" as in baseball bat.... or the scary bats in caves....
