介词里的幽默
同学们，你们在写英语句子时是不是经常掉了应该补上的介词呢？如果是的话，下面的幽默搞笑故事绝对有助于你们弥补这方面的缺陷或不足。
王师傅望子成龙，于是他就给他儿子小炳请了位英语家教老师。有一天王师傅回家回得早，他闲着没事，就躺在床上养神。此时隔壁书房里英语老师正在给他儿子补英语。
英语老师让小炳做汉译英练习，翻译五个句子：
1 我有一间好房子住。
2 这件事情应该引起注意。
3 没人喜欢被嘲笑。
4 那时我没钢笔写。
5 我没人可依靠。
没想到小炳的译文竟是这样：
1 I have a nice room to live.
2 This matter should be paid attention.
3 Nobody likes to be laughed.
4 At that time I had no pen to write.
5 I have nobody to depend.
你说着急不着急！小炳所写的这五个句子的后面都掉了个介词！正确的答案应该是：
1 I have a nice room to live in.
2 This matter should be paid attention to.
3 Nobody likes to be laughed at.
4 At that time I had no pen to write with.
5 I have nobody to depend on.
同学们，在继续讲故事前我得补充一下：这位英语老师习惯把“缺介词”简称为“缺介”；把“补上介词”简称为“补介”。而咱们湖北方言中的“介词”的＂介＂与“补钙”的“钙”（gai）同音．
在小炳的每个句子后补上介词后，英语老师指着这五个英语句子激动地对小炳说：“小炳，你给我听着：我原以为你还不错，今天看来并不是这回事啊！你瞧，这儿你缺介，你再瞧瞧，你那儿也缺介。你看你哪儿不缺介？你要注意补介呀！如果要补介你不补介的话，这个（句子）结构框架怎么能健全呢？”
在隔壁房里休息的王师傅不但对英语一窍不通，而且还是个急性人。听到英语老师一番激烈的有关缺介补介的话，他再也躺不住了，他猛地从隔壁房里冲进书房对着老师大喊：“缺什么钙？补什么钙！要补钙也轮不到你们老师补！钙片我家有好几瓶呢！”
巩固练习：
