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”。
