Mike was late for school. He said to his teacher, Mr. Black, "Excuse me for my coming late, sir. I watched a football match in my dream."
"Why did it make you late?" inquired the teacher.
"Because neither team could win the game, so it lasted a long time." replied Mike.
麥克上學遲到了。他對布萊克老師說：“對不起，老師，今天早上我遲到了。因為我在夢裡觀看了一場球賽。”
“為什麼它會讓你遲到呢?”老師問道。
“因為這兩個隊都沒有能力獲勝，所以就持續的時間長了。”麥克回答說。
