1.       I saw a saw saw a saw.
初看以为这句子是错的,但其实它(文法上)完全正确。这句短短7个字居然有4个saw. 这四个 saw 词在句中却有不同的用法(文法上叫 “歧义”):
I saw a saw saw a saw.
第一个saw(verb动词)是see的past tense (过去式)
第二和第四个saw是指木匠用的锯(是个名词noun)

第三个saw是个原型动词(infinite without “to”)，解作锯（动作）
　see (hear, smell, feel一类感觉用的动词也相同)后面的动词必须以gerund或infinite without “to”形式出现,例如  I saw her  standing/stand  there.
所以I saw a saw saw a saw.是没有错.
(这例子说明为免混淆,同一句中不可用“歧义”的字)

2.      The quick brown cunning fox jumps over the lazy dog.

这句子含有全部26个字母,因此学习打字时必打!

3.      Able was I eve I saw Elba.
Able was I = I was Able (这是倒装句 immersion)
eve 即when的旧式字
Elba是一个岛屿名字(拿破仑被放逐于此)
这是一句從左看和從右讀都相同的句子 (暂时只此一句!

4.   请看下面一段文字(不用字典,不懂意思就先猜测).看完后才看下一页的注释.

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht frist and lsat ltteer is at the rghit pclae.

     英国一间大学为了研究人是如何阅读的,因此叫人看上面一段刻意充满错误的文字.原来人们读英文不是遂個字母(letter)去读,而是粗略地 ”大体”地去读(We scan and not read)每一個字(word), 最重要是每个字首尾两个字母都要正确.

原文是

According to a research at an English university, it doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that first and last letter is at the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without a problem. This is because we do not read every letter by itself but the word as a whole.
