English Original
One afternoon while I was talking to a professor, my two-year-old daughter Melissa wandered into a nearby classroom. A math class was in progress, and to my dismay, Melissa sat down in the front row.
When I went in to get her, the instructor stopped me. "Young lady," he said, "I have been teaching calculus at this college for over 20 years. Not once in that time has anyone come to my class just because he or she wanted to. The child may stay."

一天下午，我正在和一位教授交谈，我两岁的女儿梅丽莎溜进了附近的一间教室。那里正在上数学课，更让我不安的是，梅丽莎竟然在前排坐了下来。
当我走进去想带她离开时，授课的教授拦住了我。他说：“这位女士，我在这所大学教微积分已经超过20年了。在这期间，从未有人是纯粹出于兴趣而来到我的课堂。这孩子可以留下。”
