English Original
Little Peter is nine years old. He started school the year before last and is now in the third grade. Although he lives close to school, he is often late for class because he likes to watch TV late into the night and struggles to wake up early.
This term, Peter's aunt, Mrs. Black, began working at his school as the third-grade English teacher. She is strict with him and often reminds him to follow the school rules and arrive on time.
Yesterday morning, Peter overslept again. When he arrived at school at eight-ten, his aunt was waiting for him at the gate.
"You're ten minutes late for the first class, Peter," Mrs. Black said angrily. "Why are you often late?"
"Every time I reach the street corner," Peter replied, "I see a sign that says, 'SCHOOL -- GO SLOW'!"
中文翻译
小彼得今年九岁。他前年开始上学，现在读三年级。虽然他住得离学校很近，但因为喜欢熬夜看电视，早上起不来，所以经常上课迟到。
这学期，彼得的姑姑布莱克夫人调到他的学校工作，担任三年级英语老师。她对他要求严格，经常提醒他要遵守校规、按时到校。
昨天早上，彼得又睡过头了。当他八点十分赶到学校时，他的姑姑正在校门口等他。
“彼得，第一节课你迟到了十分钟，”布莱克夫人生气地说，“你为什么总是迟到？”
“每次我走到街角，”彼得回答说，“都会看到一个路标，上面写着‘前方学校，请慢行’！”
