小升初英语双语阅读：翻译

　　一位老师对所讲课文总是非常投入，从不抬头。他常让一个学生来翻译和解释，并且----不自觉地----他常日复一日地叫同一个学生。出于尊敬，学生并不给他指出这一点。

　　一个叫古德伯格的学生，在被一连叫了四天之后，向他的朋友寻求建议。第二天，这位教师又说：古德伯格，翻译并解释。古德伯格回答说：古德伯格今天缺席。

　　那好吧，教师说，那就你来翻译并解释。

　　A teacher was always so involved in the text being studied that he never looked up . He would call on a student for translation and explanation, and-without realizing it-he often chose the same student day after day. Out of respect, the student wouldnt point this out to him.

　　After being called on four days in a row, a student named Goldberg asked advice from his friends. The next day when the teacher said Goldberg, translate and explain, Goldberg replied, Goldberg is absent today .

　　All right, said the teacher. YOU translate and explain.
