Question

James and Sarah live in Los Angeles, but their daughter Linda goes to school in New York. On the New Year’s Day, they go to their daughter’s school for the New Year’s party.

Before the party begins, the head teacher talks about what the students and teachers do for the party. At last, the head teacher says, “Let’s give our students and teachers a hand.”

James’ English is not very good. He knows that “to give someone (某人) a hand” means “ to help someone”, so he stands up and wants to help.

“What do you want to do?” asks Sarah.

“They need (需要) help,” says James.

“No one needs help,” says Sarah. “To give someone a hand can also mean to clap (鼓掌) for someone.”

“How can the same words mean two different things? ” thinks James. “English is really interesting.”
