“No, it was a battle,” the teacher said. She was getting a little angry now, but she was trying not to show it. Then she asked, “Who was the first President of the United States?”
“不对,它是一次战役的发生地。”老师说。此刻,她有点儿生气了。但她竭力不表现出来,随后又问道:“谁是美国的第一任总统?”
The student though for a long time, but didn’t say anything. Then the teacher got very angry and shouted, “ George Washington!”
那个学生想了好一阵子,还是答不上来。老师感到非常生气,大声吼道:“乔治·华盛顿!”

那个学生站起来,向自己的座位走去。
“Come back!” the teacher said. “I didn’t tell you to go.”
“回来!”老师说,“我还没让你走。”
“Oh, I’m sorry,” the student said. “I thought you called the next student.”
“噢,对不起,”那个学生说,“我还以为你在喊下一个学生呢。”
