一 位 在 美 国 的 留 学 生， 想 要 考 驾 照。
A student from the United States has a driving license test.
Zài Kǎo Lù Shì Shí ，Kàn Dào Dì Shànɡ Shì Xiànɡ Zuǒ 。
在 考 路 试 时，看 到 地 上 是 向 左。
When the road test begins, he can see the word on the ground is "left".
Tā Bú Fànɡ Xīn De Wèn Dào: 「 Turn Left ？ 」
他 不 放 心 的 问 道: 「 Turn Left ？ 」
He asked very anxiously: "Turn left?"
Kǎo Guān Huí Dá Shuō: 「 Right ! 」
考 官 回 答 说: 「 Right ! 」
The examiner replied: "right!"
Yú Shì Tā Lì Kè Xiànɡ Yòu 。
于 是 他 立 刻 向 右。
Then he immediately turned right.
Suǒ Yǐ, Hěn Bào Qiàn, Tā Zhī Yǒu Xià Cì Zài Lái 。
所 以，很 抱 歉, 他 只 有 下 次 再 来 。
So sorry, he had to come back next time for the test.
This is a joke about English for Chinese people. Because in China, the direction "right" is "yòu", then if you want to say something or somebody is right, we can say "duì" or "shì de". It is not like English we can use "right" for the direction and the opinion about something.)

Q: Because they are both not familiar with each other.
("shú" in Chinese, we can use to indicate the food is cooked well , and it also can be used to indicate the relationship among people: it means "familiar". For example, if we want say: "I am familiar with him", we can say in Chinese like: "我和他很熟wǒ hé tā hěn shú". And you can say: "roù yǐ jīng shú le" which means "the meat is already cooked" )

(In Chinese, "buck" we call "公鹿gōng lù", and we call "freeway": gāo sù gōng lù 高速公路. So you can see both of them are "gōng lù", "gāo sù" means high speed. That's the reason of the joke.)

答：错 ！ 是 白 色 的 ， 因 为 "S-pi-der-man"!
Q: Wrong! It is white, because "s-pi-der-man"!
Here, if we read "spider-man" in Chinese homophonic, it just likes: shì bái de "man". "shì bái de" means : is white.)
