A girl was listening to an iPod in class. She said to her tablemate, “Tell me when the teacher comes.” She was so loud that almost everybody in the room heard what she said, including the teacher. So the teacher came over and asked, “What do you want?”
一个女孩在上课的时候听iPod,她对同桌说:“老师过来时告诉我一声。”她说话声很大,几乎所有人都听到了。老师也听到了,走过来问她:“你有什么事?”
The teacher picked up Henry’s hand and said, “Your hand is the dirtiest in our school.”
Henry said, “No, Sir. There is something dirtier.” Then, he raised his other hand.
老师举起亨利的一只手说:“你这只手是我们全校最脏的了。”
亨利说:“不!老师,还有比这更脏的。”说完他伸出了他的另一只手。
A teacher was teaching types of sentences. She asked Scott to give an example of an interrogative sentence. Scott rubbed his eyes and asked, “Teacher, what did you want me to do?”
The teacher said, “Right. Please give an exclamatory sentence.”
Scott widely opened his eyes and said, “You said it was right!”
The teacher said, “Very good. Please say a declarative sentence.”
Scott shook his head and said, “Maybe I am running a fever today.”
The teacher said happily, “Perfect! Sit down, please.”

老师说:“很好,请再说一个感叹句。”
斯科特睁大眼睛说:“这也算对!”
老师又说:“非常好,请再说一个陈述句。”
斯科特摇摇头说:“我今天可能是发烧了。”
老师高兴地说:“完全正确,请坐下。”
