“从第一篇到第四篇,我们齐读一遍。”老师说道,“Last week I went to the theatre……”
“Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat……”
英语老师眼尖地看到坐在后面的新同学好像并没有张嘴读,而是盯着课本,英语就要开口。
全班念完最后一篇文章,英语老师笑眯眯地喊道:“Hey, liGai,that new one, stand up. Please recite the fifth text.”
李盖听到了自己的名字,嗡地脑子就炸了,她刚才说什么,什么第五?
他刚要站起来,就看到李钙站了起来。
英语老师没来得及阻止那个小傻货,她就已经用标准的伦敦腔念道:
“No wrong number. Mr. James Scott has a garage in Silbury and now he has just bought another garage in Pinhurst. Pinhurst is only five miles from Silbury, but Mr. Scott cannot get a telephone for his new garage, so he has just bought twelve pigeons. Yesterday, a pigeon1 carried the first message from Pinhurst to Silbury. The bird covered the distance in three minutes. Up to now, Mr. Scott has sent a great many requests for spare parts and other urgent messages from one garage to the other. In this way, he has begun his own private‘telephone’service.”
