本文選自Kyle XY《神奇凱爾》。Kyle為保護Josh，與同學發(fā)生沖突，不論Nicole怎么解釋，學校都拒絕接收Kyle入學。

Mr.Hopper: The other students insist Kyle threw the first punch.
Kyle: I didn't hit anyone…
Mr.Hopper: That is not how it appeared.
Nicole: Mr.Hopper, all we saw was Kyle holding that boy.
Stephen: It looked like he was stopping him, not pushing him.
Nicole: Are you looking for reasons to discredit him?
Mr.Hopper: Mrs.Trager. That altercation, plus Kyle's complete disregard for school rules, his-his wanderings, the test he simply ignored. I'm sorry, but there's just no place for a boy like Kyle in this school.

Kyle：我沒有打任何人……
Hoopr先生：看起來不是這樣。
Nicole：Hooper先生，我們看到的是Kyle抱著那個孩子。
Stephen：看起來是他在制止他不是在推他
Nicole：你在找理由懷疑他么？
