新概念英语－课文
Gary : How was the exam, Richard?
Richard : Not too bad. I think I passed in English and Mathematics. The questions were very easy. How about you, Gary?
Gary : The English and Maths papers weren't easy enough for me. I hope I haven't failed.
Richard : I think I failed the French paper. I could answer sixteen of the questions. They were very easy. But I couldn't answer the rest. They were too difficult for me.
Gary : French tests are awful, aren't they?
Richard : I hate them. I'm sure I've got a low mark
Gary : Oh, cheer up! Perhaps we didn't do too badly. The guy next to me wrote his name at the top of the paper.
Richard : Yes?
Gary : Then he sat there and looked at it for three hours! He didn't write a word!

新概念英语－翻译
加里：考试考得怎样，理查德？
理查德：不算太坏，我想我的英语和数学及格了。题目很容易。加里，你怎么样？
加里：英语和数学试题对我来说不很容易。我希望别不及格。
理查德：我想我的法语及不了格，我能回答其中的16道题。这些题很容易。但我回答不出其它的题。那些题对我来说太难了。
加里：法语太可怕了，你说呢？
理查德：我讨厌法语。我的法语成绩肯定很低。
加里：啊，别灰心！或许我们考得还不太糟。我旁边那人只在试卷顶端写自己的名字。
理查德：是吗？
加里：然后他就坐在那里，对着考卷看了3个小时，一个字也没写！
