英語故事:Please speak English(請講英語)
【英文原文】
Please speak English——請講英語
I'm a high school geometry teacher and I started one lesson on triangles by reading a theorem. "If an angle is an exterior angle of a triangle, then its measure is greater than the measure of either of its corresponding remote interior angles."
I noticed that one student wasn't taking notes and asked him why. "Well," he replied sincerely, "I'm waiting until you start speaking English."
【中文譯文】
我是一名高中幾何老師,一天要教三角形,我通過讀一個定理來開始這節課: “如果一個角是一個三角形的外角,它的度數比與它對應的不相鄰的2個遠內角中的任一個的度數都要大”。
這時,我發現一個學生沒有做筆記,於是問他爲什麼不做,“呃”,他真誠地回答,“我得等到你開始說英語時,我纔開始做筆記”。
