Ever wondered the gender of a photocopier? Wonder no more, the answers to all your gender questions are here.
是否想知道复印机的性别?不用再苦恼了，所有关于性别问题的答案都在这里。
You might not have known this, but a lot of non-living objects are either male or female.
你可能不知道这点，但是很多没有生命的物体不是男性就是女性
Below are some examples:
下面是一些例子
FREEZER BAGS: They are male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them.
冷藏袋：他们是男性的，因为他们能容纳所有东西，并且表里如一。
PHOTOCOPIERS: These are female, because once turned off, it takes a while to warm them up again. They are an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed, but can also wreak havoc if you push the wrong ones.
复印机：复印机是女人，因为一旦关掉，需要花费一点时间才能让她再度暖起来，她是非常有效的复制机器，如果你按对了按钮的话，但是如果按错了按钮，她也会造成大破坏哦。
TYRES: Tyres are male, because they go bald easily and are often over-inflated.
轮胎：轮胎是男性，因为他很容易变秃，而且经常过度膨胀。
HOT AIR BALLOONS: Also a male object, because to get them to go anywhere, you have to light a fire under them.
热气球：同样也是男性物品，因为你想让他带你去任何地方的话，必须在他下面点个火才行。
SPONGES: These are female, because they are soft, squeezable and retain water.
海绵：海绵是女性，因为她们很软，可以挤压并且能保持水分。
WEB PAGES: Female, because they're constantly being looked at and frequently getting hit on.
网页：女性，因为她们总是被人看，并且经常被点击。
TRAINS: Definitely male, because they always use the same old lines for picking up people.
火车：当然是男性的啦，因为他们总是在相同的老地方接人。
EGG TIMERS: Egg timers are female, because, over time, all the weight shifts to the bottom.
煮蛋计时器：煮蛋计时器是女性，因为一旦超时，所有的重量都会囤积在底部。
HAMMERS: Male, because in the last 5000 years, they've hardly changed at all, and are occasionally handy to have around.
锤子：男性，因为在过去的5000年，他们几乎一点没有改变，而且只是偶尔在身边可用而已。
THE REMOTE CONTROL: Female. You probably thought it would be male, but consider this: It easily gives a man pleasure, he'd be lost without it, and while he doesn't always know which buttons to push, he just keeps trying.
遥控器: 女性，也许你可能认为它是男性，但是你想想看：它很容易就给男人带来快乐，如果没有遥控器，男人会迷失，并且男人并不总是知道他要按哪个键，他只是不停地尝试而已。
