生活里的一些看似寻常的事物，也许逻辑上解释并不通。其实这些所谓的质疑只有一个目的，就是用好奇心跟生活互动and have fun! 不过凡事切忌过分深究，不然的话everything is going to fall apart. 生活中的15个趣味“为什么”由Smeeth带来。

英语里说我给你个建议会说“put two cents （两分钱）in...”，当你问别人想法时会问“a penny for your thought?（英语直译意思就是我花一分钱一便士给你你告诉我你在想什么）”所以为什么你要给别人“两分钱”意见？别人不是只会花一分钱告诉你她在想什么么？多的那一分钱去哪里了？（哈哈，这两个短语被创造的时候逻辑上并不是可以互相解释的）

为什么人们会说：“他睡得跟婴儿一样熟”，但是其实。。。。婴儿很闹腾的好么？基本上两个小时起来一次！我妈说我小时候五分钟起来闹腾一次。。。。你信么？反正我不信，我知道我是个乖宝宝。

Check out the last one. It says why do doctors leave the room while you change? They are going to see you naked anyway! Now I've seen better, I once asked one of my friends this: If you have to run for life naked along with many other naked guys on the street, which body part you are going to cover? Let's assume the “you”in here is female, and she can only cover up one part of body. And my friend was like, face, definitely face!
大夫会在你换衣服的时候回避，但是其实他们不是总归要把你看个精光的么哈哈！这还不算搞笑，我以前问过我一朋友这样一个问题：如果为了逃命你必须得光着身子在大街上狂奔，还有很多人都跟你一样光着逃命，假设你情况紧急你只能遮住一个部位（如果是女性的要遮的比较多），你会遮哪里？我朋友不假思索说，脸啊！肯定是脸啊！（此话真的有理，脱了精光，其实只有脸是不一样的！）
