Logic Reasoning 逻辑推理

A fourth-grade teacher was giving her pupils a lesson on logic.

小学四年级的教师正在给学生们上一堂逻辑课。她举了这么一个例子。

Here is the situation, she said. A man is standing up in a boat in the middle of a river, fishing. He loses his balance, falls in, and begins splashing and yelling for help.

有这样一种情况，一个男人在河中心的船上钓鱼，突然失去重心掉进了水里。于是他开始挣扎并喊救命。

His wife hears the commotion, knows that he can't swim, and runs down to the bank. Why do you think she ran to the bank?

他的妻子听到了他的喊声，知道他并不会游泳，所以她就急忙跑向河岸。谁能告诉我这是为什么？

A girl raised her hand and asked, to draw out all of his savings?

一个女生举手答道，是不是去取他的存款？

1.fourth-grade

fourth-grade表示四年级。

提问说你读几年级了:

What grade are you in?

Which grade are you in?

如果进一步问班级的话，则可以用what class are you in?

比如现在要回答，我是一年级一班的：

I'm in Class One Grade One.(我在一年级一班）

2.bank

bank在这里是指河岸的意思。

这个女生之所以闹出笑话，就是因为误把bank理解为银行，所以才说出to draw out all of his savings这种话。
