A School-report

　　The father was reading the school-report which had just been handed to him by his hopeful son. His brow was wrathful as he read: “English, poor, French, weak, mathematics, mathematics, Fair,” and he gave a glance of disgust at the quaking lad. “Wall, Dad.” Said the son, “it is not as good as it might be, but have you seen that?” And he pointed to the next line, which read: “Health excellent.”

　　学期总结

　　父亲正在读儿子刚刚交给他的学期总结，他的儿子满怀希望的看着他，而他则生气的读着学期总结：“英语，差；法语，中；数学，良。”然后，他厌恶地看着那个正在抖动着身子的小子。“恩，老爸。”儿子说：“那没有达到本来应该达到的优秀水平，不过你没看到那儿？”他指着下一行，读到：“健康状况，优秀。”
