Are you an “A” student ?
I went to palm beach Atlantic College in Florida, located on the Intracoastal Waterway, it’s only about a mile from the ocean, so students frequently go to the beach , even between classes.
One day I was meetirig with our dean, when he stopped and asked me if I was an “A” student.
Puzzled, I replied, “mostly, but why do you ask?”
“you have no tan,” he explained. “around here the darker the tan , the lower the grade.”
你是优等生吗?
我去位于美国大西洋沿岸近岸内航道的佛罗里达棕桐海滨大西洋学院。它离大海才一英里之遥,所以学生们经常去海滩,即使在课间休息的时候也是如此。
一天我碰到了我们的系主任,他停下来问我是不是优等生。
我疑惑地答道:“基本上是的,但是你为什么这么问?”
“你没有被晒黑。”他解释说:“在这里,你晒的越黑,成绩就越糟糕。”
