A School-report

　　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, mathematics, Fair,” and he gave a glance of disgust at the quaking lad. “Wall, 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.”

　　學期總結

　　父親正在讀兒子剛剛交給他的學期總結，他的兒子滿懷希望的看著他，而他則生氣的讀著學期總結：“英語，差；法語，中；數學，良。”然后，他厭惡地看著那個正在抖動著身子的小子。“恩，老爸。”兒子說：“那沒有達到本來應該達到的優秀水平，不過你沒看到那兒？”他指著下一行，讀到：“健康狀況，優秀。”
