Taken for Granted | 理所当然

English Original

The school health forms had been distributed to the students with an error — the word "Sex" had been spelled with an "o". One mother, filling out the form for her son, wrote in the blank next to "Sox": "Usually brown."


中文翻译

学校发给学生的健康调查表上有一个错误——单词“Sex”(性别)被拼写成了“Sox”。一位母亲在为她儿子填写表格时,在“Sox”旁边的空白处写道:“通常是棕色。”
