【课文】

Children who play truant from school are unimaginative. A quiet day's fishing, or eight hours in a cinema seeing the same film over and over again, is usually as far as they get. They have all been put to shame by a boy who, while playing truant, travelled 1,600 miles. He hitchhiked to Dover and, towards evening, went into a boat to find somewhere to sleep. When he woke up next morning, he discovered that the boat had, in the meantime, travelled to Calais. No one noticed the boy as he crept off. From there, he hitchhiked to Paris in a lorry. The driver gave him a few biscuits and a cup of coffee and left him just outside the city. The next car the boy stopped did not take him into the centre of Paris as he hoped it would, but to Perpignan on the French-Spanish border. There he was picked up by a policeman and sent back to England by the local authorities. He has surely set up a record for the thousands of children who dream of evading school.

逃学的孩子缺乏想象力。对他们来说，安静地钓上一天鱼，或者在电影院里看上八个小时同一部电影，就已经是极限了。有一个男孩在逃学期间游历了1600英里，让所有逃学的孩子都相形见绌。他搭便车到了多佛，傍晚时分上了一艘船，想找个地方睡觉。第二天早上醒来时，他发现船在此期间已经开到了加莱。他悄悄溜走，没有人注意到他。从那里，他又搭了一辆卡车前往巴黎。司机给了他几块饼干和一杯咖啡，就把他留在了城外。男孩拦下的下一辆车并没有像他希望的那样带他进入巴黎市中心，而是把他带到了法国和西班牙边境的佩皮尼昂。在那里，他被警察抓住，被当地当局遣送回了英国。他无疑为成千上万梦想逃避上学的孩子们创造了一项纪录。
