A math teacher in Cairo, Egypt, works with his class of six students in 1922.

1992年，一位數(shù)學(xué)老師在埃及開羅教授他一個(gè)班的六個(gè)學(xué)生。

Much like the anticipation of the first flower blossoms of spring, around the world parents (perhaps mostly) and children eagerly await the return of school classes in fall.

仿佛期待春天花兒的第一抹綻放一般，世界各地的家長（或許大多數(shù)家長）和孩子們都在熱切地等待秋季學(xué)校課堂的回歸。

With new clothes and new school supplies, children return to classrooms with new optimism for another school year. And just as the spring flowers signal a transition from one season to another, back-to-school time signals a transition from vacation time to reading, writing, and arithmetic.

有了新衣服、新文具，孩子們帶著對下學(xué)年的新期待回歸教室。正如春天的花兒象征季節(jié)交替一般，回歸學(xué)校的時(shí)間象征著從假期到閱讀、寫作和算數(shù)的過渡。
