My Korean friend
My Korean friend was more or less a good English speaker when he first came to the United States.Sometimes he might goof up and use a word that did not mean exactly what he thought it meant.
He also had a lot of trouble with idioms.But,other than that,he had his English well in hand for getting around in his daily life.
One day,my friend asked me to help him buy a necklacefor his wife.I had never seen his wife.I asked if he had a picture of her on hand.When I saw her picture,I said,"Your wife is a real spring chicken.”
My friend looked confused.He asked me,"Why do you think my wife is a chicken?”I told him that a spring chicken means a beautiful young girl.
We went shopping for a necklace that afternoon.We stepped into a small jewelry store and found one necklace that I thought was a steal.My friend bought it.
My friend told the salesperson,"This necklace is for my wife in Korean.”
"Really?”the salesperson said."Yes,”my friend said.He took out his wife's picture and showed it to the salesperson.He asked the salesperson,"Isn't my wife a chicken noodle?”
I guess we only learn if we screw up from time to time.

我的韩国朋友
我的韩国朋友来美国时可以说一些英语.
有时侯,他会胡诌,说一些并不是他本意的词.对英文习语,他也常错洞百出.
不过,除此而外,他的英文用在应付在这城市的日常生活还是绰绰有余的.
一天我这朋友托我替他太太买条项链.我没见过他太太.
我问他手头有没有她的相片.
我看到他太太的相片后,说,”你太太真象个小春鸡.”
我的朋友愣住了他问,”你凭啥说我太太是鸡啊?”
我跟他说小春鸡是指漂亮的女孩.
那天下午,我们去挑选项链..
我们进了一家小的珠宝店.发现有条项链很象贼赃.
我朋友把买下这条象链.
我朋友跟销售员说,”这项链是给买给我在韩国的太太的.”
“是吗?” 销售员说,”是的,”我朋友回答.他拿出相片,递给销售员看.”我的太太是鸡面条吧?”
我在想我们只有是在不断摆乌龙中才能学到东西唉.
