　　dick:not too bad. i think i passed the english and mathematics.the questions were not very difficult. how about you?
　　kate :the english and maths papers weren’t easy enough for me. i hope i haven’t failed.
　　dick:what i’m worrying about is physics. some of the questions were too difficult for me.
　　kate: oh, cheer up, dick. perhaps we didn’ t do that badly. the fellow next to me wrote his name at the top of the paper.
　　dick: yes ?
　　kate: then he sat there, looking at it for two hours, didn’ t write a single word !
　　”谈论考试”译文
　　凯特：迪克，考得怎么样?
　　迪克：还行。我认为英语、数学考得还可以，题目不是太难。你呢?
　　凯特：我觉得英语、数学题目不容易，但愿能通过考试。
　　迪克：我一直担心物理，因为一部分题目太难了。
　　凯特：喔，振作些吧，迪克，或许情况并没有我们想象的那么差。坐在我旁边的一位同学在物理试卷上只写了个名字。
　　迪克：真的吗?
　　凯特：然后坐在那儿看着试卷，花了两个小时却一字未写。
