1. I have just received a letter from my old school, informing me that my former headmaster, Mr. Stuart Page, will be retiring next week. 我刚刚收到母校的一封信,通知我说以前的校长斯图亚特.佩奇先生下星期就退休了。
2. It is a curious coincidence that the day before his retirement, Mr. Page will have been teaching for a total of forty years. 佩奇先生退休的前一天正好是他执教满40年的日子,这真是奇妙的巧合。
3. I found a deed dated 5 September 1768 between two brothers, John and William Waller, transferring goods between them; on the second page were the words:"and also one Negro man slave named Toby." 我发现了一张于1768年9月5日签署的契据。该契据是在名叫约翰·沃勒和威廉·沃勒的两兄弟间在进行财产转移时签署的。在第2页写着:“还有一个名叫托比的黑人奴隶。”
4. From time to time, when I looked up from my page, I saw the master looking about him as if he wished to impress upon his mind everything in the room. 我不时从练习纸上抬起头,每一次都看见老师在望着周围,仿佛要把教室里的一切都印在心上。
