8. We Really Don&`&t Know (2)
“No, no, that&`&s quite impossible!”replied the professor immediately.“Do you know, last month I asked him when Napoleon died, and he didn&`&t know!”“Please, sir, give him another chance”said Jack&`&s father.“You see, I&`&m afraid we don&`&t take any newspapers in our house so we even don&`&t know that Napoleon was ill recently.”
8.我们真的不知道(2)
“不,不行,那是完全不可能的(quite impossible)。”教授立即(immediately)回答(reply),“您知道吗,上个月我问他拿破仑是什么时候去世(die)的,可他居然不知道!”
“先生,请再给他一次机会(give him another chance)吧。”杰克的父亲说道,“您要知道,恐怕(I&`&m afraid)是因为我们家里没有报纸(newspaper)。因此我们甚至连拿破仑近来(recently)病了(ill)都不知道。”
