這孩子可以待在這里
One afternoon while I was talking to a professor,my two-year-old daughter, Lily wandered into a nearby classroom. There was a math class in progress and,to my dismay,Lily sat down in the front row.
一天下午,當(dāng)我和一位教授談話時(shí),我兩歲的女兒莉莉走進(jìn)了旁邊的一間教室。教室正在上數(shù)學(xué)課,使我驚愕的是,莉莉進(jìn)去在第一排坐下了。
When I went in to get her, the instructor stopped me. "Young lady,”he said,“I have been teaching calculus at this college for over 20 years. In that time,not once has anyone come to my class just he or she wanted to. The child may stay.”’
當(dāng)我進(jìn)去想把她弄出來(lái)時(shí),講課的教師攔住了我。“夫人,”他說(shuō),“我在這所大學(xué)里教微積分已經(jīng)二+幾年了。在這段時(shí)間里從沒(méi)有人自愿來(lái)聽(tīng)我的課。讓孩子待在這吧。”
