Taking attendance
點(diǎn)名
On my first day of classes at my University I took a front-row seat in my literature course. The professor told us we would be responsible for reading five books, and that he would provide us with a list of authors from which we could choose. Then he ambled over to the lectern, took out his class book and began, "Baker, Black, Brooks, Carter, Cook..." I was working feverishly to get down all the names when I felt a tap on my shoulder. The student in back of me whispered, "He's taking attendance."
大學(xué)的第一天,文學(xué)課我坐在了前排。教授告訴我們這學(xué)期必須得讀五本書(shū),他提供我們可供選擇的作者名單。隨后他緩步走上講臺(tái),拿出課本,“貝克、布萊克、布魯斯、卡特、庫(kù)克…”為了寫下所有的名字,我不得不瘋狂的作著記錄。這時(shí)有人輕輕的拍我肩膀,坐在我后面的學(xué)生悄悄告訴我:“他在點(diǎn)名呢。”
