今天分享一則有趣的小笑話，在學生時代，如果老師問你為什么不學習的時候，你會怎么回答呢？今天我們看下這個機智的學生是怎么回答的。

New Words:

take away 拿開;減去;

count up to 數到，數完，共計

approximately adv. 近似地，大約;許

TEACHER: Why didn't you study?

老師：你為什么不學習？

STUDENT: A year has 365 days for you to study. After taking away 52 Sundays, there are only 313 days left. There are 50 days in the summer that is way too hot to work so there are only 263 days left. We sleep 8 hours a day, in a year, that counts up to 122 days so now we're left with 141 days.

學生：一年有365天的學習時間。除去52個星期天后，只剩下313天了。夏天有50天太熱而不能工作，所以只剩下263天了。我們一年中每天睡8個小時，總共122天，所以現在剩下141天。

If we fooled around for only 1 hour a day, 15 days are gone, so we are left with 126 days. We spend 2 hours eating each day, 30 days are used in this way in the year, and we are left with 96 days in our year. We spend 1 hour a day speaking to friends and family, that takes away 15 days more and we are left with 81 days.

如果我們每天只玩一個小時，15天就過去了，剩下126天了。我們每天花2個小時吃飯，每年用這種方式用30天，一年剩下96天。我們每天花一個小時與朋友和家人交談，這花費了15天的時間，剩下的只有81天。

Exams and tests take up at least 35 days in your year; hence you are only left with 46 days. Taking off approximately 40 days of holidays, you are only left with 6 days. Say you are sick for a minimum of 3 days ; you're left with 3 days in the year to study! Let's say you only go out for 2 days... You're left with 1 day. But that 1 day is your birthday. That’s why I did not study.

考試和各種測試一年至少要花35天，所以你只剩下46天。放大約40天的假，你只剩下6天。假設你生病最少3天，一年中有3天可以學習！比方說你只外出兩天……你剩下1天了。但是那一天是你的生日。這就是我不學習的原因。

Teacher: Class dismissed!

老師：下課！
