Gary
How was the examination, 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 Intelligence Test. 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
Intelligence tests are awful, aren't they?
Richard
I hate them. I'm sure I've got a low I.Q.
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！
