Admitting a Fault | 承认错误

English Original

John is not a "good" student. He often sleeps in class. Today, he fell asleep again.

"John!" the teacher said angrily.

"What? What's wrong?" John was awakened.

"Why are you making a face? This is a classroom. Look! Everyone is laughing," the teacher said.

"No one is laughing," another student whispered.

"No, it wasn't me. I wasn't making a face. I was sleeping," John said, feeling upset.

"Hmm. Not bad. You admitted your fault. You're still a good boy," the teacher said, satisfied.

“约翰!”老师生气地喊道。

“什么?怎么了?”约翰被惊醒了。

“你为什么要做鬼脸?这是教室。看!大家都在笑,”老师说。

“没人在笑,”另一个学生小声嘀咕。

“不,不是我。我没有做鬼脸。我刚才在睡觉,”约翰感到不安地说。

“嗯,不错。你承认了自己的错误。你还是个好孩子,”老师满意地说道。
