-荀子是个化学家：
青，取之于蓝，而青于蓝；冰，水为之，而寒于水。——荀子 劝学
-【看笑话学英语：青出于蓝而胜于蓝 】
"Young man," said the angry father from the head of stairs, "didn't I hear the clock strike four when you brought my daughter in?"
"You did," admitted the boyfriend, "it was going to strike eleven, but I grabbed it and held the gong so it wouldn't disturb you."
The father muttered, "Wonder why I didn't think of that one in my courting days!"
“小伙子，”父亲在楼梯口板着脸说道，“闹钟敲了四下，你才把我女儿带回来，我没听错吧？”
“是的，”女儿男朋友承认说，“闹钟本来是要敲11下，但我拽住了钟摆，以免影响您。”
父亲低咕道：“奇怪，我谈恋爱时怎么没想到这一着呢！”
-别的女生怎么这么瘦？”女同事抱怨道。我说：“你也别伤心啊，至少你比她们寿命长。”“为啥啊？”我回答道：“没看咱们工厂门口写的‘质量等于生命’吗？”“你别跑，等我用一身的质量压死你！”
-毕业这么多年了，还是非常怀念校园生活。有一天突发奇想，联系老师，回学校去上几堂课。上了几天课之后，感觉太棒了。于是，给学校送了一面锦旗：感谢母校治好了我的失眠！
