Joke of the Day - No 2

Teacher: “Please remember, students, statistics don’t lie. For example, if ten men would build a house in one day, one man could build the same house in ten days. Do you understand what I mean?”

Student: “Yes teacher, just like if one boat could cross the ocean in five days, then five boats could cross the ocean in one day.”

老师: 各位学生，请记住，统计学是不说谎的，例如，假如10个人一天可以建造一间房子，那么1个人10天就可以建造一间相同的房子。你们明白我的意思吗?

学生: 知道了老师。就好像是 1 只船要花 5 天的时间才能渡过大海，那么 5 只船 1 天就可以度过大海一样。

1. Do you understand what I mean? 你们明白我的意思吗?
2. Cross the ocean 渡过大海
