标题[求译] three-penny 硬币
时间Tue Dec 10 13:41:49 2024
原文：
For example, a boy of four asked his aunt one Sunday to tell him why God was
so fond of three-penny bits. Asked why he thought God had this particular
liking, he explained by saying that he noticed that on Sunday morning people
ask for a three-penny bit "instead of" three pennies, and that as they take
it to church he supposed that they gave it to God.

本人翻译：
举例来说，一个四岁男孩在某个周日询问姑姑，为什麽上帝这麽喜欢三便士硬币。姑姑反
问他为什麽会觉得上帝喜欢三便士硬币，男孩解释说，他注意到星期天早上，人们会要一
个「三便士硬币」，而不是三便士，而且会把硬币带到教堂，因此小男孩猜想硬币是要奉
献给上帝。
疑问：这个段落有什麽谐音之类的梗吗？看不懂这里的笑点在哪里
谢谢！
