那些妙趣橫生的英語幽默故事
Open-book exam
開卷考試
On the day of our final exam at my Community College in Santa Maria, Calif. we heard that the bookstore had changed its policy and would buy back our business-management toxtbooks.
我在加利福尼亞的圣瑪麗亞市一所社區大學讀書時，有一次期末考試，我們聽說書店在回購我們的工商管理課本。
Before class, several of us dashed over to the store and sold our books. We were seated and waiting for the test when our professor announced that considering the difficulty of the final, it would be an open-book exam.
于是，我們幾個趕忙跑到書店把書賣了，隨后，我們坐在教室里等著考試。這時教授宣布：考慮到期末考試的難度，今天我們決定開卷考試。
