英语史上（据说）有较多歧义的句子英语虽是当今的世界语，但依然充斥着歧义句，含糊不清，往往一句两解，不太明确。
英国近代两位文法遥Jocobs与Rosendbaum合著的English Transformational Grammar为我们提供了一句六解的例句，可说是当代歧义句子之中的较高纪录。
请大家细读这句有史以来较多解法的话：The Seniors were told to stop demonstrating on campus.
暂时不要往下看，动一动脑筋，看看能列出多少个解法。
自我挑战，学思并重，也是提高中英语文水平的诀窍！
语文巨擘Jocobs与Rosenbaum说：非英语遥的学生能揣摩出三解就已很棒了！
你试一试，可能也会觉得趣味盎然。
