詳解閱讀題--海軍軍官候補(bǔ)生A Midshipman

　　One of my fellow midshipmen at the U. S. Naval Academy was performing poorly in class and reported to his company officer for counseling., "Your marks are deplorable!" the officer scolded. "Is there a problem-that has kept you from studies?"

　　"No, sir," the midshipman replied. "I have no idea what the problem is. I study the notes I take, and I'm never late to class. I don't even talk in class, but for some reason my professors don't seem to like me.

　　The officer sat back and thought. Then he asked, "Do you get enough sleep?"

　　My classmate replied, "Sir, do you mean at night or in class?"

　　海軍軍官候補(bǔ)生

　　我們在美國海軍學(xué)院軍官候補(bǔ)生中有一個同伴，他的學(xué)業(yè)很差。他到連隊軍官那兒尋求安慰。“你的成績糟透了，”軍官責(zé)備他說，“是否你的學(xué)習(xí)中存在什么問題？”

　　“沒有哇，先生，”候補(bǔ)生回答說，“我搞不清楚是什么問題。我讀我的筆記，上課從不遲到。甚至上課從不講話，但不知怎么搞的，教授們好像都不喜歡我。”

　　軍官向后一靠，想了想。然后問道：“你睡眠充足嗎？”

　　我同學(xué)回答說：“先生，你說的是夜里還是課堂上？”
