   An A Student


  优秀学生
  Last semester I took macroeconomics and didn't have a clue what I was doing (as cited on the final exam.)
  上学期我选修了宏观经济学,我对此完全一无所知(以期末考试为证)。
  There were 80 multiple choice questions. For some reason I decided 1 to play the game of probability and choose the letter "A" for everything.
  考题包括80道选择题。出于某种心理我决定玩一下概率游戏,所有的题我都选了“A”作答案。
  In that game, the only thing probable was that I failed.
  在这场游戏中惟一的可能性就是我会考试不及格。
  The following day, the professor asked to see me after class.
  第二天地,教授要我课后去见他。
  "Is everything okay?"
  “你还好吗?”
  "Sure," I said.
  “当然,”我答。
  "Why? Well, here's your test," he said and handed me a piece of paper that was covered with red ink. "Can you explain why you chose an 'A' for everything?"
  “那么,为什么?这是你的试卷,”他说着,递给我一张满篇都是红笔印记的卷子。“你能给我解释一下为什么每道题都选‘A’吗?”
  Knowing that there was nothing I could do at this point, I said, "Well, I've always wanted to be an 'A' student."
  我知道这时我什么也做不了,只好说:“这个吗,是因为我一直都想做个‘A’(优)等生”。
