Wanted: A Few—or a Lot of—Good Men and Women with Fingers and Toes
First, the good news: My little daughter, all of 4.8591 years old, is
showing great interest in the field of mathematics and is now doing
additions and subtractions involving numbers going all the way up to almost
100. Now, the bad news: With that development, we are running out of
fingers and toes in the family as study aids. Anybody with countable
fingers and toes are hereby cordially invited to come over and lend us a
hand, so to speak.
As a matter of fact, we once ran into a similar situation before, when the
bigger numbers in the math questions exceeded 20—or 10 when she had shoes
and socks on. Being a natural problem-solver, however, she managed to
overcome the obstacle back then when she discovered that her big brother,
with full sets of fingers and toes of his own, comes in very handy for
digital reinforcement.
As she ventures deeper and deeper into multi-dozen territory, the family has
finally reached its numeric limit as far as human capacity goes. We have
thought about enlisting the canine and feline members of the family, but
that has turned out not to be very practical because, as you can imagine, it
is rather difficult to get those guys to sit still and stick out the
required number of digits for any meaningful duration of time.
So, if you are able and willing to help, please drop me a line and specify
the total number of digits you can contribute to the cause. At this point,
I am inclined not to limit the number of volunteers we will be enlisting;
after all, we do want our little munchkin to be able to calculate up to the
thousands and millions some day.
Now, what is really important here is for all of you to take this
announcement very seriously. For God's sake, the future prowess of a whole
new generation of human beings in mathematics is on the line, and that ain't
no laughing matter! |

狗常来常往,确实热闹。
“It turned out not to be very practical”应该是动词不定式否定式的标准用
法。“It turned out to be not very practical”读起来似乎也算顺口;有年头
没钻研过英语语法,一时说不清具体章程了。俺就对老美平时口头常用的“it
turned out to not be very practical”这个句式深恶痛绝。手里大红笔给他
们改了十多年,如今还不时在文字里看到,实在不可原谅。

多谢指点!哈哈。我没用过其他两种,学生用的to not be很不顺口啊,倒没留意他们
平时这么说。口语真是和语法相差甚远,哈哈。
