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。

Most kids who play hooky don’t have much imagination. What they do at most were fishing whole day or sitting in a movie theater for 8 hours watching the same movie over and over again. However, there was this young boy who had traveled 1600 miles during those days which had made the other kids who skipped school seemingly mediocre. He took a bus to get to 多佛. When the night fell, he sneaked into a boat to sleep and found himself in 加来 the second day. No one saw him when he got out of the boat. From加来, he took a truck to get to Paris. The driver gave him a couple of coffee and several pieces of cookies and left him at the edge of the town. He then hitched another ride which did not take him to the center of Paris as he had expected, in stead it took him to Perpignan at the border of France and Spain. At there he was caught by police and was sent back to England. Undoubtedly he set a record for hundreds and thousands of kids who play hooky.
