学校成绩单

[英语原文]

A school report

The father was reading the school report which had just been handed to him by his hopeful son. His brow was wrathful（愤怒的）as he read.

“English， poor. French， weak. mathematics， fair.”and he gave a glance of disgust at the quaking lad.

“Well， Dad.”said the son，“It is not as good as it might be， but have you seen that？”And he pointed to the next line which read，“health， excellent.”

[中文翻译]

父亲在看他那满怀希望的儿子带回来的学校成绩单。他边看边露出愤怒的表情：“英语，差；法语，差；数学，中。”他厌恶地瞥了正在发抖的儿子一眼。

“爸爸，”兒子说，“成绩可能不够理想，但您看到那一项了吗？”他指了指下一行：“健康状况，优。”

父亲看了儿子带回来的成绩单，非常气愤，因为儿子的考试成绩实在让他感到失望。儿子只好指着成绩单上唯一的一个“优”向父亲解释：“我的健康状况——优！”可是，父亲听了他的辩解能原谅他吗？
