這兩天沒來。。。剛一看到， 立即做作業

逃學的孩子們都缺乏想像力。他們通常能夠做到的，至多也就是安靜地釣上一天魚，或在電影院裏坐上8個小時，一遍遍地看同一部電影。而有那麽一個小男孩，他 在逃學期間旅行了1,600英裏，從而使上述所有逃學的孩子們都相形見絀了。他搭便車到了多佛，天快黑時鑽進了一條船，想找個地方睡覺。第二天早上他醒來 時，發現船在這段時間已經到了加來。當男孩從船裏爬出來時，誰也沒有發現他。從那裏他又搭上卡車到了巴黎。司機給了他幾塊餅幹和一杯咖啡，就把他丟在了城 外。男孩截住的下一輛車，沒有像他希望的那樣把他帶到巴黎市中心，而是把他帶到了法國和西班牙邊界上的佩皮尼昂。他在那兒被一個警察抓住了，之後被當局送 回了英國。他無疑為成千上萬夢想逃避上學的孩子們創造了一項紀錄。

Most kids who play hooky don’t have much imagination. What they do at most were fishing whole day or sitting in a movie theater for 8 hours watching the same movie over and over again. However, there was this young boy who had traveled 1600 miles during those days which had made the other kids who skipped school seemingly mediocre. He took a bus to get to 多佛. When the night fell, he sneaked into a boat to sleep and found himself in 加來 the second day. No one saw him when he got out of the boat. From加來, he took a truck to get to Paris. The driver gave him a couple of coffee and several pieces of cookies and left him at the edge of the town. He then hitched another ride which did not take him to the center of Paris as he had expected, in stead it took him to Perpignan at the border of France and Spain. At there he was caught by police and was sent back to England. Undoubtedly he set a record for hundreds and thousands of kids who play hooky.
