那些妙趣横生的英语幽默故事
Open-book exam
开卷考试
On the day of our final exam at my Community College in Santa Maria, Calif. we heard that the bookstore had changed its policy and would buy back our business-management toxtbooks.
我在加利福尼亚的圣玛丽亚市一所社区大学读书时，有一次期末考试，我们听说书店在回购我们的工商管理课本。
Before class, several of us dashed over to the store and sold our books. We were seated and waiting for the test when our professor announced that considering the difficulty of the final, it would be an open-book exam.
于是，我们几个赶忙跑到书店把书卖了，随后，我们坐在教室里等着考试。这时教授宣布：考虑到期末考试的难度，今天我们决定开卷考试。

知道不知道
open-book exam，开卷考试，闭卷考试就是close-book，还有的考试允许考生带笔记，那就是open-note。可想而知，这几个卖了书的家伙恐怕要考砸了。 I bombed the test．我考砸了。 bomb的意思是轰炸，在口语中指的是“把什么东西搞砸了”。同样，要是约会时发挥失常，也可以说l bombed on the date．
