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, fair;" and he gave a glance of disgust at the quaking lad.
"Well, 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."
父親在看他那滿懷希望的兒子帶回來(lái)的學(xué)校成績(jī)單。他邊看邊露出憤怒的表情:
“英語(yǔ),差;法語(yǔ),差;數(shù)學(xué),中。”他厭惡地瞥了在發(fā)抖的兒子一眼。
“爸爸,”兒子說(shuō),“可能成績(jī)不夠理想。但您看到那一項(xiàng)了嗎?”他指了指下一行:“健康狀況,優(yōu)。”
