分析
Theperson writing this notice was a little lazy and wanted to shorten the word“dollars”to“dolls”. The problem is that“doll”in English is a separate word. So，the sign ends up reading as follows：“把DSL线拿走的费用是15个芭比娃娃”．
看来，写这个通知的人偷懒了，他把“dollars”简写成了“dolls”。问题是在英语里后者是一个单词，意思是“娃娃”。结果整个标语的意思就变成了“把DSL线拿走的费用是15个芭比娃娃”。
