THE SCHOOL HEALTH FORMS had been distributed to the students with an error---the word Sex had been spelled with an o. One mother, filling out the form for her son, wrote in the blank next to Sox: Usually brown.
理所当然某学校发给学生的健康调查表里有个错别字——把“性别”的“性”字写成了“袜”字。一位母亲在为她的儿子填写表格时,在“袜别”的那栏填上了:“棕色为主。”
[注] 英语中sex(性)与sox(袜)只有一个字母之差。
