英文笑話: Dear White 親愛的白人

內文很簡單,但學習重點是"顏色",我們的病樣是臉青青,色情是黃色的,而英文卻是大不同。
附中譯、重點詞例句逢一、三出版。



Dear White,
Something you got to know.
When I was born, I was black.
When I grow up, I am black.
When I'm under the sun, I'm black.
When I'm cold, I'm black.
When I'm afraid, I'm black.
When I'm sick, I'm black.
When I die, I'm still black
You - white people.
When you were born, you were pink.
When you grow up, you become white.
You're red under the sun.
You're blue when you're cold.
You're yellow when you're afraid.
You're green when you're sick.
You're gray when you die.
And you call me "color"?
