112　Have you seen her grades? 你没看见她的成绩吗？

As an admissions counselor for a state university, I took a call from an irate mother demanding to know why her daughter had been turned down. Avoiding any mention of the transcript full of D's, I explained that her daughter just wasn't as “competitive” as the admitted class. “Why doesn't she try another school for a year and then transfer?” I suggested. “Another school!” exclaimed Mom. “Have you seen her grades?”

我是一所州立大学的招生员。我接到一个愤怒的母亲打来的电话，要求知道为什么她的女儿没有被录取。我避免说她女儿的成绩单上全是D，只是解释说她的女儿不像被录取的学生那样“有竞争性”。我建议说：“你女儿可以先到别的学校学一年，然后再转学。”那位妈妈大喊道：“转学？你没看见她的成绩吗？”
