The father was reading the school report which had just been handed to him by his hopeful son. His brow was wrathful as he read,
"English, poor; French, weak; mathematics, fair;" and he gave a glance of disgust at the quaking lad.
"Well, Dad." said the son, "It is not as good as it might be, but have you seen that?" And he pointed to the next line which read, "health, excellent."
父亲在看他那满怀希望的儿子带回来的学校成绩单。他边看边露出愤怒的表情：
“英语，差;法语，差;数学，中。”他厌恶地瞥了在发抖的儿子一眼。
“爸爸，”儿子说，“可能成绩不够理想。但您看到那一项了吗?”他指了指下一行：“健康状况，优。”
