篇一
Napoleon Was Ill
Jack had gone to the university to study history, but at the end of his first year, his history professor failed him in his examinations, and he was told that he would have to leave the university. However, his father decided that he would go to see the professor to urge him to let Jack continue his studies the following year.
"He‘s a good boy," said Jack‘s father, "and if you let him pass this time, I‘m sure he‘ll improve a lot next year and pass the examinations at the end of it really well."
"No, no, that‘s quite impossible," replied the professor immediately. "Do you know, last month I asked him when Napoleon had died, he didn‘t know!"
"Please, sir, give him another chance," said Jack‘s father. "You see, I‘m afraid we don‘t take any newspaper in our house, so none of us even know that Napoleon was ill."
拿破崙病了
傑克到一所大學去學歷史。第一學期結束時,歷史課教授沒讓他及格。學校讓他退學。然而,傑克的父親決定去見教授,強烈要求讓傑克繼續來年的學業。
“他是個好孩子,”傑克的父親說:“您要是讓他這次及格,我相信他明年會有很大進步,學期結束時,他一定會考好的。”
“不,不,那不可能,”教授馬上回答。“你知道嗎?上個月我問他拿破崙什麼時候死的,他都不知道。”
“先生,請再給他一次機會吧。”傑克的父親說:“你不知道,恐怕是因為我們家沒有訂報紙。我們家的人連拿破崙病了都不知道。”
篇二
He Was Only Wrong by Two
Jack Hawkins was the football coach at an Amercian college, and he was always trying to find good players, but they weren‘t always smart enought to be accepted by the college.
One day the coach brought an excellent young player to the dean of the college and asked that the student be allowed to enter without an examination. "Well," the dean said after some persuasion, "I‘d better ask him a few questions first."
Then he turned to the student and asked him some very easy questions, but the student didn‘t know any of the answers.
At last the dean said, "Well, what‘s five times seven?"
The student thought for a long time and then answered, "Thirty-six."
The dean threw up his hands and looked at the coach in despair, but the coach said earnestly, "Oh, please let him in, sir! He was only wrong by two."
