老鼠長什麼樣?
Rodents had overrun a posh private school near New York City . So the headmaster, a friend of mine, asked a health inspector to deliver a slide presentation to teachers and students, showing how to remedy the situation, i.e., stow trash, no food in class, etc.
鼠類在紐約市附近的一家時尚的私立學校氾濫成災。
那家學校的校長(我的一個朋友)請來了一位健康檢查員來給在校師生作一次幻燈演示,告訴他們如何處理這種情況,如,要垃圾裝好,上課不能吃東西等等。
The following day, a teacher had her very young children write a letter to the inspector, thanking him for the visit. One of the students wrote, "Dear Mr. Johnson, Thank you for coming to my school. Until I saw you, I didn't know what a rat looked like."
第二天,一個老師讓她的那些年紀還非常小的學生給那位檢查員寫封信,感謝他的來訪。
其中一個學生這樣寫,“親愛的 Johnson先生,感謝您來到我的學校,在跟你見面之前,我還不知道老鼠長的什麼樣子呢 ”。
