You Shouldnt Dress Anything!

(In the classroom Mr.Fan is teaching his students how to use the verb“dress”，but Xiao Da is sleeping.)

Mr.Fan：Boys and girls，I have talked about the verb “dress” for quite a few minutes and also I have given a few examples to show its uses.Now who can make a sentence with this word?

Xiao Da：Id like to have a try.My sentence is：I dress my clothes at six every morning.

Mr.Fan：Xiao Da，It is wrong of you to say you dress your clothes.

Xiao Da：Then tell me what I should dress，please.

Mr.Fan：In fact，everyone in our class except you knows you shouldnt dress anything!

(Some students smiled and they knew what the teacher meant.)

Xiao Da：I shouldnt dress anything? Mr.Fan，you…I…

Mr.Fan：Xiao Da，what I really want to say is：You should dress yourself!

(The whole class laughed loudly.)

(注：dress作及物动词用时后面要接表示人的词当宾语，而不能接表示衣服的词当宾语。)
