幽默笑話精粹44：教育階段

The dean of Engineering had once walked into a class, and said "Good Morning.”

一天工程系的主任走進(jìn)一個(gè)班，說(shuō)道:“早上好。”

The whole class chorused" Good Morning”

全班齊聲回復(fù):“早上好。”

"Hi，you are freshmen aren’t you?" he asked.

“你們是大一的吧?”主任問(wèn)道。

One student bolder than the others asked him how he knew.

一個(gè)膽子比較大的同學(xué)問(wèn)主任是怎么知道的。

"Well，”he said. "When I say‘Good Morning' to a class，if they are freshmen they say Good Morning' too. If they are sophomores，they quietly fold their papers away，and look at me. A class of juniors will look at me over the top of their papers, and then get back to them. A class of seniors will ignore my greeting, and keep reading the papers. When I say `Good Morning' to a class of graduate students, they write it down.”

“嗯，”主任說(shuō)，“如果是大一的新生，當(dāng)我向他們問(wèn)早上好的時(shí)候，他們也一定會(huì)說(shuō)‘早上好’的。如果他們是大二的學(xué)生，他們會(huì)輕輕地合上課本，然后集體望著我。大三的學(xué)生則會(huì)從書(shū)本上抬起頭看我一眼，然后馬上又繼續(xù)讀書(shū)了。大四的學(xué)生則會(huì)對(duì)我視而不見(jiàn)，繼續(xù)看書(shū)。至于研究生班的學(xué)生，我向他們問(wèn)早上好，他們就會(huì)把這句話寫(xiě)在筆記上。”
