優(yōu)秀學(xué)生
Last semester I took macroeconomics and didn't have a clue what I was doing (as cited on the final exam.)
上學(xué)期我選修了宏觀經(jīng)濟學(xué),我對此完全一無所知(以期末考試為證)。
There were 80 multiple choice questions. For somereason I decided to play the game of probability and choose the letter "A" for everything.
考題包括80道選擇題。出于某種心理我決定玩一下概率游戲,所有的題我都選了“A”作答案。
In that game, the only thing probable was that I failed.
在這場游戲中惟一的可能性就是我會考試不及格。
The following day, the professor asked to see me after class.
第二天地,教授要我課后去見他。
"Is everything okay?"
“你還好嗎?”
"Sure," I said.
“當(dāng)然,”我答。
"Why? Well, here's your test," he said and handed me a piece of paper that was covered withred ink. "Can you explain why you chose an 'A' for everything?"
“那么,為什么?這是你的試卷,”他說著,遞給我一張滿篇都是紅筆印記的卷子。“你能給我解釋一下為什么每道題都選‘A’嗎?”
Knowing that there was nothing I could do at this point, I said, "Well, I've always wanted to bean 'A' student."
我知道這時我什么也做不了,只好說:“這個嗎,是因為我一直都想做個‘A’(優(yōu))等生”。
