School! Go Slowly! (学校!慢行!)
Paul is always late for school.
It is ten past eight in the morning. The students are having English lesson in the classroom. Paul opens the door and comes in.
“Paul, why are you late for school every morning?” his teacher asks. “When do you leave home?”
“I leave home at a quarter to eight,” Paul answers.
“Is your home far from our school?” his teacher asks.
“No, about ten minutes’ walk.”
“Then why are you late?”
“Every day on my way to school I see a sign. It says: School! Go slowly!”

保尔上学经常迟到。
早上八点十分,同学们正在教室里上英语课,保尔推门进来。
“保尔,为什么你每天早上上学都要迟到呢?”老师问道,“你是什么时候离开家的?”
“我是七点三刻出门的。”保尔答道。
“你家离学校很远吗?”老师又问。
“不远,步行十分钟”
“那你怎么会迟到呢?”
“每天我在上学的路上总看到一个标记,上面写到:学校!慢行!”
