Jack had gone to the university tostudy his history, but at the end of his second term, he failed his history exam, and he was told that he would bedismissed from university. However, his father decided that he would go to see the history professor(教授)to ask him to let Jack continue his studies the next year.

　　“He's a good boy,”said Jack's father,“Please pardon him. 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.”

　　“他是個不錯的男孩(boy)。”杰克的父親(father)說，“請原諒(pardon)他吧！如果這次您能讓他通過(pass)，我確信(I'm sure)他明年一定會大有長進(improve a lot)；而且會在年終時真正地(really)很出色地通過考試。”?

　　“No, no, that's quite impossible!”replied the professor immediately.“Do you know, last month I asked him when Napoleon died, and he didn't know!”“Please, sir, give him another chance”said Jack's father.“You see, I'm afraid we don't take any newspapers in our house so we even don't know that Napoleon wasillrecently.”

　　“不，不行，那是完全不可能的(quite impossible)。”教授立即(immediately)回答(reply)，“您知道嗎，上個月我問他拿破侖是什么時候去世(die)的，可他居然不知道！”“先生，請再給他一次機會(give him another chance)吧。”杰克的父親說道，“您要知道，恐怕(I'm afraid)是因為我們家里沒有報紙(newspaper)。因此我們甚至連拿破侖近來(recently)病了(ill)都不知道。”
