英语小笑话:点名

大学的第一天，文学课我坐在了前排。教授告诉我们这学期必须得读五本书……

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.”

大学的第一天，文学课我坐在了前排。教授告诉我们这学期必须得读五本书，他提供我们可供选择的作者名单。随后他缓步走上讲台，拿出课本，“贝克、布莱克、布鲁斯、卡特、库克…”为了写下所有的名字，我不得不疯狂的作着记录。这时有人轻轻的拍我肩膀，坐在我后面的学生悄悄告诉我：“他在点名呢。”
