Lesson 73:The record-holder
纪录保持着
First listen and then answer the question.
听录音，然后回答以下问题。
Did the boy go where he wanted to?
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.

参考译文
逃学的孩子们都缺乏想像力。
他们通常能够做到的，
至多也就是安静地钓上一天鱼，
或
在电影院里坐上
8
个小时，
一遍遍 地看同一部电影。
而有那么一个小男孩，
他在逃学期间旅
行了
1,600英里，从而使上述所有逃学的孩子们都相形见绌了。他搭便车到了多佛，天快黑
时钻进了一条船，想 找个地方睡觉。第二天早上他醒来时，发现船在这段时间已经到了加。
