Skipping Class逃课
Helen: Robert, where are you going?
海伦：罗伯特，你去哪儿呢？
Robert: I've got to go to the railway station to pick up a friend.
罗伯特：我去火车站接一个朋友。
Helen: But class begins in a half hour.
海伦：但是再过半小时就要上课了。
Robert: I've got to play truant. I don't have a choice. And besides, this afternoon's class isn't going to be very
interesting. I don't feel like I’m going to miss very much if I don't make it.
罗伯特：我得逃课了。我没办法。再说，今天下午的课也没意思。我觉得我不去上也损失不了多少。
Helen: That may be true, but you know the teacher giving the lecture is very strict. I am afraid you're going to fail this
class if you are always absent. Couldn't you let someone else go get your friend?
海伦：这也许没错。不过，你知道上这堂课的老师特别严，我担心如果你老是逃课的话，你会不及格的。你不会叫另外一个人去接你朋友吗？
Robert: I probably could let someone else go, but why should I? You know you could say "yes" for me when the teacher calls
the roll if you're really worried that I might fail.
罗伯特：我也许可以叫别人去，可是我为什么要这么做呢？如果你真担心我考试不及格的话，在老师点名的时候，你可以帮我喊一声“到”啊。
Helen: That's a bit of a problem. You know I don't like to lie, especially to teachers.
海伦：那可不行，你知道，我不喜欢说谎，特别是在老师面前。
