英文笑话：A School-report 学校成绩单

The father was reading the school report which had just been handed to him by his hopeful son. His brow was wrathful as he read,

"English, poor; French, weak; mathematics, fair;" and he gave a glance of disgust at the quaking lad.

"Well, Dad." said the son, "It is not as good as it might be, but have you seen that?" And he pointed¹ to the next line which read, "health, excellent."

父亲在看他那满怀希望的儿子带回来的学校成绩单。他边看边露出愤怒的表情：

“英语，差；法语，差；数学，中。”他厌恶地瞥了在发抖的儿子一眼。

“爸爸，”儿子说，“可能成绩不够理想。但您看到那一项了吗？”他指了指下一行：“健康状况，优。”
