　　"Was school all right?" she asked, "Did you get along all right? did you cry?" 　　她问道:“学校怎么样？你过的好吗？哭了没有？”
　　"Cry?" John asked. "No, I didn't cry, but the teacher did!" 　　“哭？”约翰问，“不，我没哭，可老师哭了。”

　　"Look," said the elder brother. "How nice these paintings are!" 　　“看，”哥哥说，“这些画多漂亮呀！”
　　"Yes," said the younger, "but in all these paintings there is only the mother and the children. Where is the father?" 　　“是啊，”弟弟说道，“可是在所有这些画中，只有妈妈和孩子。那爸爸去哪儿了呢？”
　　The elder brother thought for a moment and then explained, "Obviously he was painting the pictures." 　　哥哥想了会儿，然后解释道:“很明显，他当时正在画这些画呗。”

Second, your beauty could beimproved if you used about one tenth as much rouge and lipstick. And third, I'm an artist---the doctor lives downstairs."
