請(qǐng)將下面這段話翻譯成英文：

一天，洋教師出題，考察學(xué)生們用洋文作文的水準(zhǔn)，題目極簡(jiǎn)單，隨便議論議論校園內(nèi)的一事一物，褒貶皆可。中國(guó)學(xué)生很靈，一揮而就，洋教師閱后。評(píng)出了最佳作文一篇，學(xué)生們聽后大為不解，這種通篇說謊的文章怎么能被評(píng)為“最佳”？
原來這篇作文是寫學(xué)校食堂。寫作文的學(xué)生來自郊區(qū)農(nóng)村，人很老實(shí)，膽子又小, 生伯得罪校方，妨礙將來畢業(yè)時(shí)的分?jǐn)?shù)、評(píng)語、分配工作等等，便不顧真假，胡編亂造，竭力美化，唱贊歌。使得一些學(xué)生看后慣慣然。可是…洋教師明知學(xué)校食堂糟糕透頂?shù)臓顩r，為什么偏要選這篇作文？有人直問洋教師。

參考答案:

One day he set the students an essay to see how well they could write in English, the topic being A Comment on Life on the Campus-it her complimentary or critical. That was simple. And his students, quick at writing, finished it at one go and turned it in no time. He went through the papers and picked one that he thought the best. When he read it out to the students, they were greatly perplexed. Of all the comments, why did he like this one best, Not a single word of it was true.
It was about the campus cafeteria and the author was a peaceable and timid guy from a village near the town. In order not to offend the school authorities -- a decisive factor: concerning his final grading, evaluation and, above; all, where he was to go after graduation -- he had made up a high-sounding story in praise of the cafeteria regardless of reality, thus making his ClaSS- mates very angry. The teacher was as well aware of the cafeteria's terrible conditions, but why should this piece in particular have appealed to him so much, Someone asked.
