"Well，"the teacher said，“Let me tell you what happened. Both of your papers were right all the way through until the last question came up，and John answered‘I don’t know，’and then when I looked at your paper. You answered，‘me either'.”

“好吧，”老师说，“让我来告诉你们是怎么回事儿。你们俩的卷子都答得很好，但是在最后一道题目，约翰答道‘我不会’，而当我看你的卷子时，你答道‘我也不会’。”
