教授們聽到后趕緊向火車跑去,兩位教授剛登上火車,火車就開動了。另一位叫艾哈德的教授沒能趕上。他看上去很著急。
One of the professor's students was at the station. He tried to comfort the professor.“It wasn’t really bad,sir,”said the student. "Two out of three caught the train. That is quite good,you know.”“I know,”the professor said.“But it was my train. My friends only came to say goodbye.”
教授的一位學生也在車站等車。他盡力安慰教授。他說:“這還不是很糟,三個人有兩個上了火車。您要知道這已經(jīng)不錯了。”教授說:“我知道,可我是來趕火車的,那兩位朋友是來為我送行的。”
