他总是试图找到很好的球员
Jack Hawkins was the football coach at an Amercian college, and he was always trying to find good players, but they weren't always smart enought to be accepted by the college.
One day the coach brought an excellent young player to the dean of the college and asked that the student be allowed to enter without an examination. "Well," the dean said after some persuasion, "I'd better ask him a few questions first."
Then he turned to the student and asked him some very easy questions, but the student didn't know any of the answers.
At last the dean said, "Well, what's five times seven?"
The student thought for a long time and then answered, "Thirty-six."
The dean threw up his hands and looked at the coach in despair, but the coach said earnestly, "Oh, please let him in, sir! He was only wrong by two."
杰克霍金斯是美国一所学院的橄榄球队教练,他总是试图找到很好的球员,但他们并不总是聪明的足以被大学录取了。有一天,教练带着一位优秀的年轻球员去见院长问,学生可免试入学。”好的,”院长说说服之后,“我最好先问问他几个问题。”然后他转向学生,问他一些非常简单的问题,但学生不知道任何答案。最后院长说,“嗯,什么五次七?”学生想了很久,然后回答说,“三零六”。院长摊开双手失望地看了看教练,可是教练认真地说,“噢,请让他进来,先生!他只错了两个。”
