所以没人知道拿破仑病了
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."
杰克到一所大学去学习历史,但第一学年结束时,他的历史学教授他考试失败,他被告知他将不得不离开大学。然而,杰克的父亲决定去见教授,强烈要求让杰克继续来年的学业。“他是个好孩子,”杰克的父亲说,“您要是让他这次及格,我相信他明年会有很大进步,通过考试,最后真的很好。”“不,不,那不可能,”教授马上回答。”你知道,上个月我问他拿破仑什么时候死的,他不知道!”“请,先生,再给他一次机会吧,”杰克的父亲说。”你看,我怕我们不采取任何报纸在我们的房子,所以没人知道拿破仑病了。”
