Dad: What's the matter, Peter?
爸爸:怎么了,彼得?
Peter: I think I'm going to fail a math test, Dad.
彼得:爸爸,我認為數學考試我會不及格。
Dad: You are? Why?
爸爸:你嗎?為什么?
Peter: Well, I missed the bus and I had to walk to school.
彼得:嗯,我錯過了公共汽車,我不得不步行去學校。
Dad: So?
爸爸:所以呢?
Peter: I'm not allowed to get to class late, and there was a big test today.
彼得:我上課不能遲到,并且今天有一次大型考試。
Dad: And you weren't allowed to take the test?
爸爸:結果你沒有被允許參加考試?
Peter: That's right. But I know I could pass that test.
彼得:是的。但我知道我能通過那次考試。
Dad: Well, Peter, the school has to have rules, you know.
爸爸:嗯,彼得,你要知道,學校必須有規則。
Peter: I know. But they should let me take the test later. It's not fair if they don't even give me a chance!
彼得:我知道,但他們應該讓我晚點兒參加考試。如果他們甚至不給我一次機會,那不公平!
Dad: Well, you might still be allowed. Maybe you could talk to the teacher after school.
爸爸:好吧,你可能仍然會被允許。或許你可以放學后跟老師談一談。
Peter: Yeah. Maybe if I explain what happened, she'll understand.
彼得:是的,如果我解釋一下發生的事情,或許她會理解。
