English Story

Half or five tenths 半个还是十分之五

Teacher: Would you rather have one half of an orange or five tenths?
 
Gerald: I'd much rather have the half.
 
Teacher: Think carefully, and tell me why.
 
Gerald: Because you lose too much juice when you cut the orange into five tenths.
 
老师:你愿意要半个柑橘,还是十分之五个柑橘?
 
杰拉得:我宁可要半个。
 
老师:仔细想想,说出理由来。
 
杰拉得:因为你如果把柑橘切成十分之五,那柑橘汁就损失太多了。
