Unit 13 Six Grade Science
第13單元 六年級的自然科學課
Six grade science teacher Mr. Sampson asks his class:
六年級的自然科學老師桑普森先生問班上同學：
"Who can tell me which organ of the human body expands to 10 times its usual size when stimulated?"
“有誰可以告訴我，人體哪個器官受到刺激后，會比平常大小膨脹十倍？”
Nobaody raises a hand, so he calls on the first student to look his way.
沒人舉手，于是他就問第一個往他這邊看的學生：
"Mary, canyou tell me which organ of the human body expands to 10 times its usual size when stimulated?"
“瑪麗，你可以告訴我人體哪個器官受到刺激后，會比平常大小膨脹十倍嗎？”
Mary stands up, blushing furiously."Sir, how dare you ask such a question?" she says."I'm going to complain to my parents, who will complain to the principal, who will have you fired!"
瑪麗站起來，滿臉通紅地說：“老師，你怎么敢問這種問題？我要去跟我爸媽抱怨，他們就會向校長抱怨，然后炒你魷魚！”
Mr. Sampson is shocked by Mary's reaction, but undaunted.He asks the class the question again, and this time Sam raises his hand.
桑普森先生被瑪麗的反應嚇了一大跳，但不為所動，繼續問班上同學有誰知道答案，這回山姆舉手了。
"Yes, Sam?"says Mr. Sampson. "Sir, the correct answer is the iris of the human eye."
“山姆知道是嗎？”桑普森先生說。“老師，正確答案是眼睛的紅膜。”
"Very good, Sam. Thank you."
“很好，山姆。謝謝你。”
Mr. Sampson then turns to Mary and says, "Mary, I have 3 things to tell you: first, it's clear that you have NOT done your homework. Second, you have a dirty mind. And third, I fear one day you are going to be sadly disappionted."
桑普森先生接著轉向瑪麗說道：“瑪麗，我有三件事要告訴你：第一，很顯然你‘沒有’做功課；第二，你想‘歪’了；第三，恐怕有一天你會大失所望。”
