She saw only a sea of blank faces except for that of Toshiba,who had his hand up. "Patrick Henry,1775,"said the boy.“Now,”said the teacher,“Who said 'Government of the people,by the people,for the people shall not perish from the earth'?”
老师看到的好像是一片空白的脸,只有那位“东芝”举了手回答说:“亨利·柏垂克,1775年。”
Again, no response except from Toshiba:”Abraharn Lincoln,1863. "
老师又说:“好,谁说过‘民有、民治、民享的政府不会从地球土消失’?”
The teacher snapped at the class,"You should be ashamed. Toshiba,who is new to our country,knows more about it than you do."
然而除了东芝以外全班仍没有任何反应。
As she turned to write something on the blackboard,she heard a loud whisper:"Damned Japanese.”
“林肯, 1863年。”
"Who said that?"she demanded.
老师冲着全班打了一个响指说:“你们应感到害躁,这个新来我们国家的东芝比你们知道的都多。”
Toshiba put his hand up. "Lee Jacocca,1982. "he said.
当老师在黑板上写字时,听到一声咒骂:“该死的日本人!”
老师问:“谁说的?”
