第9章 The Child May Stay

One afternoon while I was talking to a professor. my two-year-old daughter, Dora, wandered into a nearby classroom. There was a math class in progress and to my dismay, Dora sat down in front row.

When I went in to get her, the instructor stopped me. "Young lady,"he said,"I have been teaching calculus at this college for over ten years. In that time, not once has anyone come to my class just because he or she wanted to. The child may stay. "

孩子可以留下

一天下午，我和一位教授谈话时，两岁的女儿多拉走进了旁边的一间教室。教室里正在上数学课。让我惊慌的是，多拉居然在第一排坐了下来。

当我进去叫她时，那个正在讲课的老师拦住我说：“小姐，我在这所大学教微积分十多年了。这期间，还从来没有一个学生主动来听我讲课呢。孩子可以留下。”
