Six grade science teacher Mr. Sampson asks his class:
六年級(jí)的自然科學(xué)老師桑普森先生問(wèn)班上同學(xué):
"Who can tell me which organ of the human body expands to 10 times its usual size whenstimulated?"
“有誰(shuí)可以告訴我,人體哪個(gè)器官受到刺激后,會(huì)比平常大小膨脹十倍?”
Nobaody raises a hand, so he calls on the first student to look his way.
沒(méi)人舉手,于是他就問(wèn)第一個(gè)往他這邊看的學(xué)生:
"Mary, canyou tell me which organ of the human body expands to 10 times its usual size whenstimulated?"
“瑪麗,你可以告訴我人體哪個(gè)器官受到刺激后,會(huì)比平常大小膨脹十倍嗎?”
Mary stands up, blushing furiously."Sir, how dare you ask such a question?" she says."I'm going to complain to my parents, who will complain to the principal, who will have you fired!"
瑪麗站起來(lái),滿臉通紅地說(shuō):“老師,你怎么敢問(wèn)這種問(wèn)題?我要去跟我爸媽抱怨,他們就會(huì)向校長(zhǎng)抱怨,然后炒你魷魚!”
Mr. Sampson is shocked by Mary's reaction, but undaunted.He asks the class the question again, and this time Sam raises his hand.
桑普森先生被瑪麗的反應(yīng)嚇了一大跳,但不為所動(dòng),繼續(xù)問(wèn)班上同學(xué)有誰(shuí)知道答案,這回山姆舉手了。
"Yes, Sam?"says Mr. Sampson. "Sir, the correct answer is the iris of the human eye."
“山姆知道是嗎?”桑普森先生說(shuō)。“老師,正確答案是眼睛的紅膜。”
"Very good, Sam. Thank you."
“很好,山姆。謝謝你。”
Mr. Sampson then turns to Mary and says, "Mary, I have 3 things to tell you: first, it's clear that you have NOT done your homework. Second, you have a dirty mind. And third, I fear one day you are going to be sadly disappionted."
桑普森先生接著轉(zhuǎn)向瑪麗說(shuō)道:“瑪麗,我有三件事要告訴你:第一,很顯然你‘沒(méi)有’做功課;第二,你想‘歪’了;第三,恐怕有一天你會(huì)大失所望。”
