Who Is This Calling? | 来电者是谁?

English Original

The local high school requires parents to call if a student will be absent. Kelly decided to skip school and go to the mall with her friends. After her parents left for work, she called the school herself. Here is their actual conversation:

Kelly: "Hi, I'm calling to report that Kelly Richardson is unable to make it to school today because she is ill."

School Secretary: "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. I'll note her absence. Who is this calling?"

Kelly: "This is my mother."


中文翻译

当地高中规定,学生若需请假,必须由家长致电学校。凯莉决定逃学,和朋友去商场。等父母都去上班后,她自己给学校打了电话。以下是她们的真实对话:

凯莉:"您好,我打电话是想说凯莉·理查森今天生病了,不能来上学。"

学校秘书:"哦,听到这个消息我很难过。我会记下她缺席。请问您是哪位?"

凯莉:"我是她妈妈。"
