680　I didn't even read them 这两本书我根本都没看

While working in the library at a university, I was often shocked by the excuses students would use to get out of paying their fees for overdue books. One evening a student returned two books that were way overdue. I tried to explain how much she owed, but she insisted she should be exempt. “You don't understand,” she blurted out. “I didn't even read them!”

我在一所大学的图书馆工作的时候，学生们为了不交过期罚款而采用的种种借口常常使我震惊。一天傍晚，一个学生来还两本书，都过期很久了。我向她解释她欠了多少钱。但是，她坚持说她应该免于罚款。她一着急说漏了嘴：“你不懂。这两本书我根本都没看。”
