Skipping Class逃課
Helen: Robert, where are you going?
海倫：羅伯特，你去哪兒呢？
Robert: I've got to go to the railway station to pick up a friend.
羅伯特：我去火車站接一個朋友。
Helen: But class begins in a half hour.
海倫：但是再過半小時就要上課了。
Robert: I've got to play truant. I don't have a choice. And besides, this afternoon's class isn't going to be very
interesting. I don't feel like I’m going to miss very much if I don't make it.
羅伯特：我得逃課了。我沒辦法。再說，今天下午的課也沒意思。我覺得我不去上也損失不了多少。
Helen: That may be true, but you know the teacher giving the lecture is very strict. I am afraid you're going to fail this
class if you are always absent. Couldn't you let someone else go get your friend?
海倫：這也許沒錯。不過，你知道上這堂課的老師特別嚴，我擔心如果你老是逃課的話，你會不及格的。你不會叫另外一個人去接你朋友嗎？
Robert: I probably could let someone else go, but why should I? You know you could say "yes" for me when the teacher calls
the roll if you're really worried that I might fail.
羅伯特：我也許可以叫別人去，可是我為什么要這么做呢？如果你真擔心我考試不及格的話，在老師點名的時候，你可以幫我喊一聲“到”啊。
Helen: That's a bit of a problem. You know I don't like to lie, especially to teachers.
海倫：那可不行，你知道，我不喜歡說謊，特別是在老師面前。
