As I was going to St. Ives
As I was going to St Ives,
I met a man with seven wives.
Each wife had seven sacks.
Each sack had seven cats.
Each cat had seven kits.
Kits, cats, sacks, and wives:
How many were there going to St Ives?
在去圣艾维斯的路上,
我遇见一个男人,他有七个太太。
每个太太有七个布袋。
每个布袋有七只大猫,
每只大猫有七只小猫。
小猫,大猫,布袋,太太:
到底有多少人和猫要去圣艾维斯呢?
维多利亚阿姨解释:
St.Ives (圣艾夫斯)位于英国西南端的 Cornwanll(康沃而)。St.Ives是英国当地人很偏爱的海滨小镇。而且由于St.Ives面向外海,波浪很高,因此也成为远近驰名的冲浪胜地。
Kits是工具,一套一套的意思,但是在这里,我认为特指小猫,看图片就知道,那是小猫kitten 的缩写
Kits 衣物和装备( kit的名词复数 ); 成套用品; 配套元件
kitten
n.小猫; 小动物;
复数:kittens
