English Original
Mr. Baldwin, the biology teacher, called on Mary. "Can you tell me the part of the body that, under the right conditions, expands to six times its normal size, and state the conditions?"
Mary gasped and said in a huff, "Why, Mr. Baldwin! That is an inappropriate question, and my parents are going to hear of it when I get home!" She sat down, red-faced.
"Susan, can you tell me the answer?" asked Mr. Baldwin.
"The pupil of the eye, under dark conditions," said Susan.
"Correct. Now Mary, I have three things to say to you. First, you have not studied your lesson. Second, you have a dirty mind. And third, boy are you going to be disappointed someday!"

生物老师鲍德温先生点名玛丽提问：“你能告诉我，身体的哪个部位在特定条件下会扩张到正常大小的六倍，并说明是什么条件吗？”
玛丽倒吸一口气，气呼呼地说：“哎呀，鲍德温先生！这是个不恰当的问题，我回家后一定要告诉我父母！”她红着脸坐下了。
“苏珊，你能告诉我答案吗？”鲍德温先生问道。
“是眼睛的瞳孔，在黑暗的条件下，”苏珊回答。
“正确。玛丽，现在我有三件事要对你说。第一，你没有好好预习功课。第二，你的思想不纯洁。第三，孩子，总有一天你会大失所望的！”
