The bus runs late this morning, so Xiao Gang dashes into class after the lesson has already started. His teacher doesn't scold him, and the lesson turns out to be so much fun that he can't wait to get there early tomorrow.
Late for Class
今天的来得太慢了。
The bus was so slow this morning.
小刚跑进，老师正在写字。
Xiao Gang rushed into the classroom while the teacher was writing on the board.
Xiao Gang
老师，对不起，车太慢了。
I'm sorry, teacher. The bus was just too slow.
Teacher
没关系，快坐下吧。
It's all right. Hurry up and take a seat.
The Lesson
Teacher
这个词是什么，谁知道？
What does this word mean? Who knows?
里很，大家都不说话。
The classroom went quiet, and nobody said a word.
Xiao Gang
老师，我知道！让我说说。
Teacher, I know! Let me give it a try.
Teacher
对，得真好！
That's right—what a great answer!
After Class
下课了，小刚还在笑。
Class was over, and Xiao Gang was still smiling.
Classmate
今天的课真！
Today's lesson was really fun!
Xiao Gang
是啊，明天我要早点儿来。
Yeah, I'm going to get here earlier tomorrow.
他想，明天一定不坐那个慢车了。
He thought to himself that tomorrow he definitely wouldn't take that slow bus again.
