所以沒人知道拿破侖病了
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."
杰克到一所大學去學習歷史,但第一學年結束時,他的歷史學教授他考試失敗,他被告知他將不得不離開大學。然而,杰克的父親決定去見教授,強烈要求讓杰克繼續來年的學業。“他是個好孩子,”杰克的父親說,“您要是讓他這次及格,我相信他明年會有很大進步,通過考試,最后真的很好。”“不,不,那不可能,”教授馬上回答。”你知道,上個月我問他拿破侖什么時候死的,他不知道!”“請,先生,再給他一次機會吧,”杰克的父親說。”你看,我怕我們不采取任何報紙在我們的房子,所以沒人知道拿破侖病了。”
