I had scarcely passed my twelfth birthday when I entered the inhospitable regions of examinations, through which for the next seven years I was destined to journey. These examinations were a great trial to me. The subjects which were dearest to the examiners were almost invariably those I fancied least. I would have liked to have been examined in history, poetry and writing essays. The examiners, on the other hand, were partial to Latin and mathematics. And their will prevailed.
我一過12歲生日?就步入了令人頭疼的考試時期?而且隨后的7年?竟注定一直在這區(qū)域跋涉。這些考試真讓我傷透了腦筋。主考老師最喜歡考的科目?幾乎無一例外的都是我最不喜歡的科目。我喜愛歷史、詩歌和寫作?可他們卻喜歡拉丁文和數(shù)學(xué)?而每次考試都是他們說了算。
Moreover, the questions which they asked on both these subjects were almost invariably those to which I was unable to suggest a satisfactory answer. I should have liked to be asked to say what I knew. They always tried to ask what I did not know. When I would have willingly displayed my knowledge, they sought to expose my ignorance. This sort of treatment had only one result: I did not do well in examinations.
更可氣的是?他們在這兩個科目上所提的問題?又幾乎全都是我無法做出滿意答案的。我一直喜歡回答一些我所熟悉的東西?可他們總是問一些我全都不知道的問題。我一直很想展現(xiàn)自己的才華?可他們卻變著法兒讓我出丑。其結(jié)果是?考試中我屢屢失敗。
