I had scarcely passed my twelfth birthday when I entered the inhospitable regions of examinations, through which for the next seven years I was destined to journey. These examinations were a great trial to me. The subjects which were dearest to the examiners were almost invariably those I fancied least. I would have liked to have been examined in history, poetry and writing essays. The examiners, on the other hand, were partial to Latin and mathematics. And their will prevailed.
我一过12岁生日?就步入了令人头疼的考试时期?而且随后的7年?竟注定一直在这区域跋涉。这些考试真让我伤透了脑筋。主考老师最喜欢考的科目?几乎无一例外的都是我最不喜欢的科目。我喜爱历史、诗歌和写作?可他们却喜欢拉丁文和数学?而每次考试都是他们说了算。
Moreover, the questions which they asked on both these subjects were almost invariably those to which I was unable to suggest a satisfactory answer. I should have liked to be asked to say what I knew. They always tried to ask what I did not know. When I would have willingly displayed my knowledge, they sought to expose my ignorance. This sort of treatment had only one result: I did not do well in examinations.
更可气的是?他们在这两个科目上所提的问题?又几乎全都是我无法做出满意答案的。我一直喜欢回答一些我所熟悉的东西?可他们总是问一些我全都不知道的问题。我一直很想展现自己的才华?可他们却变着法儿让我出丑。其结果是?考试中我屡屡失败。
