"Well, I hate to say it, but that was a colossal failure!"
"嗨,我討厭提這事, 可那實在是個巨大的 失敗."
Said Mr. Wells after he had collected all of the surveys he had passed out.
威爾士先生把所有發出 去的調查表收上來之后 說道,
"I thought there would be coherent arguments against coeducation,
"我原以為大家對男女 同校會一致持反對意見
as well as a clear majority to keep things the way they are already.
絕大多數人會贊成 保持現狀.
But all of the students and colleagues
所有的學生和同事
in our very cognitive university setting
在我們這個認識能力 很強的大學環境里
seem to think that we should change our school code to allow a coed university.

Do you think there is any way that we can coerce them otherwise?"

Said Mr.KacKenzie in response.

It's no coincidence the majority favors this coarse change in policy just as you said.

"Okay. I admit defeat." Sighed Mr. Wells.

"Let's take this collection of surveys to the library.
"我們把這批收集到的 調查表拿到圖書館去吧
