明天带娃去San Diego,不学习了,今天交上作业。
逃学的孩子们都缺乏想像力。他们通常能够做到的,至多也就是安静地钓上一天鱼,或在电影院里坐上8个小时,一遍遍地看同一部电影。而有那么一个小男孩,他 在逃学期间旅行了1,600英里,从而使上述所有逃学的孩子们都相形见绌了。他搭便车到了多佛,天快黑时钻进了一条船,想找个地方睡觉。第二天早上他醒来 时,发现船在这段时间已经到了加来。当男孩从船里爬出来时,谁也没有发现他。从那里他又搭上卡车到了巴黎。司机给了他几块饼干和一杯咖啡,就把他丢在了城 外。男孩截住的下一辆车,没有像他希望的那样把他带到巴黎市中心,而是把他带到了法国和西班牙边界上的佩皮尼昂。他在那儿被一个警察抓住了,之后被当局送 回了英国。他无疑为成千上万梦想逃避上学的孩子们创造了一项纪录。
All children that skip school lack imagination(are not that imaginative?). What they usually could do, at the best, is to spend a quiet day fishing, or to sit in the cinema watching the same movie over and over for eight hours. However, there was this boy, who traveled 1,600 miles during his truant(?), outsmarting all the above children. He hitchhiked to Dover and crawled into a boat at dusk to find a place to sleep. He woke up the next morning only to find that the boat had gotten to Calai. No one noticed him when he crawled out of the boat. From there, he got on a truck and went to Paris. The truck driver gave him a few biscuits and a cup of coffee and left him outside of the city. The next car the boy stopped did not take him to downtown Paris as he wanted, but to Perpignan, the border of France and Spain. He was caught there by a policeman and sent back to the Britain. He undoubtedly set a record for thousands of children who dream of skipping school.
