A：Tommy played truant today. His teacher called me this morning.
汤米今天逃课了，他的老师早上打电话给我了。
B：Where did he go?
他去了哪里？
A：I've asked him, but he won't tell me. What should we do about this? He is like you. I remember when we were at the college, you always skipped classes.
我问过他了，但是他不愿告诉我。对此，我们该怎么办？他和你一样，我记得我们上大学的时候你就总是逃课。
B：Like me? But you see I am so successful now. And if he is really like me, he will be more successful than me in the future.
像我？可是你看，我现在这么成功，如果他像我的话，他将来会更成功的。
A：Stop, stop… We are talking about our son's attendance for classes and his study. Maybe we could give him a little bit money to pay to go to school.
打住打住，我们现在谈的是我们儿子的出勤问题和他的学习，也许我们可以给他点儿钱让他去上学。
B：Pay him? But he studies for himself, not for you or for me or for anybody else. I got an idea. You should send him to class every morning and after the class begins, you can go to work.
他去上课就给他开工资么？他可是为他自己学习，不是为你、为我，也不是为任何人。我有主意了！你可以每天早上送他去学校，等他上课后你再去工作。
A：In that way, I'll be late every day. How about letting him go to school on school bus?
那样的话，我每天都会迟到的，让他坐校车去学校怎么样？
B：That's a good idea. Why have I never thought of that?
这是个好主意，我怎么就没想到呢？
A：That's because I went to school for each class when I was at school. So now I am much more clever than you.
那是因为我上学的时候每节课都去，所以现在我比你聪明。
