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（憤怒的）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.”

父親在看他那滿懷希望的兒子帶回來的學校成績單。他邊看邊露出憤怒的表情：“英語，差；法語，差；數(shù)學，中?！彼麉拹旱仄沉苏诎l(fā)抖的兒子一眼。

“爸爸，”兒子說，“成績可能不夠理想，但您看到那一項了嗎？”他指了指下一行：“健康狀況，優(yōu)?！?/p>

父親看了兒子帶回來的成績單，非常氣憤，因為兒子的考試成績實在讓他感到失望。兒子只好指著成績單上唯一的一個“優(yōu)”向父親解釋：“我的健康狀況——優(yōu)！”可是，父親聽了他的辯解能原諒他嗎？
