英文的標點符號也是很有趣味,
同事教我的某一例句:
Woman without her man is nothing,
看起來很污辱女性, 但標個點, 意思又不一樣了
Woman, without her, man is nothing!

找不到和您的查詢「"I have been engaged for almost a year" site:www.uexpress.com/dearabby/」相符的資料

修改搜尋後找的到
I have been engaged for almost a year site:uexpress.com
(不要加引號、不要www、不要 / )

http://www.uexpress.com/dearabby/?uc_full_date=20110806

原文是有那麼回事，但是前面引述的整篇文章就是惡搞的(Boofo版)，惡搞版回答的也是瞎掰的(Mikey版)
另外Biker提出更早惡搞版

讀讀名人語錄也是學英文的途徑。
幾個英文字或三兩句，足以發人深省(thought-provoking)，這就是功力。
幾個世界名女士的語錄，雖僅三分鐘，但可省思一輩子。

介紹大家另一個網站，關於名人語錄的，如果要學英文同時背一些名言，去那網站就對了。

例如重大事件(圖片是另外加的)：

This is one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.  - Neil Armstrong

或是好笑的：
Now, today is the day we honor, of course, the Presidents, ranging from George Washington, who couldn't tell a lie, to George Bush, who couldn't tell the truth, to Bill Clinton, who couldn't tell the difference. - Jay Leno

阿嬤上法院
律師如果沒有心理準備時，最好不要問阿嬤問題

在南方一個小鎮的法院開庭審理，檢查官傳喚他的第一位證人，一位阿嬤。

他走到阿嬤前面，問她："瓊斯太太，你認識我嗎?"

阿嬤回答："幹嘛?  我是認識你啊, 威廉斯先生.   我從你小時候就知道你了，
坦白說，你還真有點讓我失望。 你撒謊，欺騙你老婆，而且你操縱別人又在他們背後講壞話。  你自以為是號大人物，實際上你腦殘到根本不知道你連個小職員都不如。
是呀，我認識你。"

檢察官傻了。不知所措之下，就指了房間另一頭問說：
"瓊斯太太，那你認識被告律師嗎?"

阿嬤接著回答了，"幹嘛?  是呀，我也是從布萊德立先生年輕的時候就認識他了.
他懶，總是自我感覺良好，又喜歡喝酒。他和所有的人都處不好，而且他的法律業務是整個州裡面數一數二的差。更甭提他騙了他的老婆和三個不同的女人來往，其中一個是你的太太。
是呀，我認識他。"

被告律師幾乎掛了。

法官此時叫兩位律師過去，低聲的說：
"你們兩個白癡哪一個敢問她認不認識我的話，我就把你們兩個送上電椅。"

When Grandma Goes To Court
Lawyers should never ask a Mississippi grandma a question if they aren't prepared for the answer.

In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecutor attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand.  He approached her and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know me?' She responded, 'Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams.  I've known you since you were a boy, and frankly, you've been a bit disappointment to me.  You lie, cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs.  You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you'll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.'

The lawyer was stunned.  Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?'

She again replied, 'Why, yes I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngerster, too.  He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem.  He can't build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state.  Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women.  One of them was your wife.  Yes, I know him.'

The defense attorney nearly died.

The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and, in a very quite voice, said,

'If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll send you both to the electric chair.'

英文自我介紹不害怕，善用From口訣沒煩惱

F：family
F即 Family, 家庭背景與故鄉，本人建議，家庭的部份簡單帶過，重點可以放在自己的家鄉，因為對方沒去過，可以介紹一下自己家鄉讓自己最難忘的部份，既可讓對方了解自己與自己的家鄉，如果您能講到對方想去旅遊，那就真的太棒了。

O ：Occupation
如果對方跟您是工作上的關係，建議可以把重點放在O , Occupation您的工作，例如您為何選擇這份工作，又從中學得什麼，或是工作上印象最深的故事，比方說我在家教網工作，我的同事有日文、韓文老師，只要交會學生我就很有成就感呢！

R：recreation
當然，R, recreation 嗜好，也是一個很好自我介紹的重點，或許對方與您有相同嗜好，如運動與音樂等等，這可以拉近距離，或者您有什麼特殊專長也可以當作自我介紹的特點，例如烹調與手工等等。

M：message
M, message, 到最後一步，如果兩人相談甚歡，您想與對方留下連絡方式。
