所以都没人知道拿破仑遭遇了不幸
Jack had gone to the university to study history, but at the end of his first year, his history professor failed him in his examinations, and he was told that he would have to leave the university. However, his father decided that he would go to see the professor to urge him to let Jack continue his studies the following year.
"He's a good boy," said Jack's father, "and 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."
"No, no, that's quite impossible," replied the professor immediately. "Do you know, last month I asked him when Napoleon had died, he didn't know!"
"Please, sir, give him another chance," said Jack's father. "You see, I'm afraid we don't take any newspaper in our house, so none of us even know that Napoleon was ill."
杰克在大学里学历史，可是在第一个学年末，历史教授给他的各门考试都批了不及格，他被通知必须退学。然而，他父亲觉得自己应该去看看教授，并劝他让杰克继续下一年的学业。
“他是个好小子，”杰克的父亲说，“您要是让他过了这一回，我保证他明年会提高一大截，年末考试会考得特棒。”
“不不，那是根本不可能的，”教授当场反驳，“你知道么，上个月我问他拿破仑什么时候死的，他都不知道！”
“求您了，教授，再给他个机会吧，”杰克的父亲说，“您瞧，这怕是因为我们家没订报纸，所以都没人知道拿破仑遭遇了不幸。”
