On vacation in England, my husband and I went to the village inn for the house specialty—fish 'n chips. In honor of a computer-programmer convention the inn was hosting, the innkeeper rewrote his menu to read: “Fish 'n microchips.” Not to be outdone, the travel agent next door posted advertisements for two tours—one a trip to a honey farm, the other a trip to the coast. He described them each as the “B Drive” and the “C Drive.”

我和我丈夫在英国度假的时候到一家乡村小旅店去吃他们的招牌菜“鱼和土豆片”。小旅店正在主办一个电脑程序员年会。为了表示对这个年会的敬意，旅店的主人把菜单改写成“鱼和微电子芯片”。隔壁的旅行社也不甘落后，贴出两条旅游路线的广告：一条是去养蜂场，另一条是去海滨。他把它们分别称为B驱动器和C驱动器。
