wǒ wèn diàn yuán : qǐng wèn zhè shì dān mài de ma ？
我 问 店 员 : 请 问 这 是 单 卖 的 吗 ？
diàn yuán : bù ，zhè shì rì běn de 。
店 员 : 不 ，这 是 日 本 的 。
One day I was strolling in the snack bar. I found a egg tart shop, and every kind of the egg tart seems very delicious. Then I want to try one. So I asked the shop assistant : “Is this sale for single?”
The shop assistant answered: “No, it’s from Japan.”
Yeah, I translate this joke by words. Maybe you don’t understand it. But don’t worry, I will explain it for you. The point of this joke is from this sentence: 请问这是单卖的吗？(qǐng wèn zhè shì dān mài de ma ？)meaning that Is this sale for single? But the shop assistant thought that is it from Denmark? So she answered : “No, it’s from Japan.”
Do you know why the shop assistant made that mistake? Because the word 单卖(dān mài )which means sale for single has the same pronunciation with the word 丹麦(dān mài) but this one means Denmark. Are you clear now? Then we see the joke together again.
