The Composition Class
The students in the composition class were asked to write an article with the title “The most beautiful thing I ever saw”. The student, who of all the members of the class seemed the least feeling to beauty, handed in his paper first at astonishing speed. It was short and to the point. He had written, “The most beautiful thing I ever saw was too beautiful for words.”
作文课
作文课上，学生们被要求写一篇题为“我所见到的最美的东西”的文章。全班看起来对美最冷淡的那个学生用令人吃惊的速度第一个交了卷。他的文章短而扼要。他这样写到：“我所见到过的最美的东西是美得无法用语言来表达。”
I Am My Father
One day little Tom didn’t want to go to school, so he telephoned his teacher. He pretended to be his father and said. “Hello! Is that the teacher speaking? My little Tom is ill and can’t go to school today. He asked me to ask you for a day’s leave.”
The teacher at the other end of the telephone asked, “Who is that speaking?”
“It’s me, sir,” answered Tom, “I—I am my father.”
我是我父亲
一天小汤姆不想去上学，所以给老师打电话。他假装成他的父亲说：“喂！你是老师吗？我的小汤姆今天病了不能去上学，他让我向你请一天的假。”
电话另一端的老师问道：“你是谁呀？”
“先生，是我，”汤姆回答，“我——我是我父亲。”
Half Dead
Sam can’t swim. A few days ago he fell into the river. He called for help. A young man jumped into the water and pulled him out.
“That young man saved your life,” said his wife. “Shouldn’t we give him a pound?”
“I was half dead when he pulled me out,” said Sam. “Give him 50 pence, dear.”
半死不活
萨姆不会游泳，几天前他掉到河里了，大喊救命。一位年轻小伙子跳到水里把他拉了上来。
“那位小伙子救了你的命，”他妻子说道：“难道我们不应该给他一英镑吗？”
“他把我拉上来时我已经半死不活了，”萨姆说：“亲爱的，给他50便士吧！”
