　　When Mr. Mill was young, his purpose in learning was to be a teacher. Now he was a learned professor. That morning, Mr. Mill had lean pork and lemon tea as breakfast. Then he put on his leather gloves to go to the classroom. The classroom was 25 feet in length and 20 feet in width. He would have a legal lecture this time. Until then did Mr. Mill realize that he had left his textbook behind in the office. But he did not seem to be in the least nervous. He leant on the chair and began his lecture at leisure. He explained the legal rights of the people at length. Nothing was left out. The topic lent itself to discussion. After discussion, the students came to understand it at length. Before the class was over, Mr. Mill asked the students if they were at leisure these days. He suggested them read at least one book on the legal rights. A student noticed Mr. Mill's left leg was lame. Mr. Mill answered, "I am a member of the School Football League. In my last match, I tried to leap a linebacker. I wanted to create a legend but I hurt my leg. Please don't leak the news. You are in league with me. OK? Your leakage will damage my reputation!'' Mr. Mill made a face. All the students laughed.

　　当米尔先生年轻的时候，他学习的目的是成为一名老师。现在他是一名博学的教授。那天早上，米尔先生吃了瘦肉，喝了柠檬茶作为早餐。然后他戴上皮革手套去教室了。教室有25英尺长，20英尺宽。他这次将做一个法律的演讲。直到那时米尔先生才意识到他忘记带讲义，把它落在办公室了。但他似乎一点也不紧张。他*在椅子上开始从容地进行他的演讲了。他详细地解释了人民的合法权利。没有任何内容被遗漏。这个课题适宜于讨论。讨论之后，学生们终于理解了。下课前，米尔先生问学生们这些日子是否有空。他建议他们至少阅读一本关于法定权利的书。一个学生注意到米尔先生的左腿是跛的。米尔先生回答道：“我是一名校足球社团的成员。在最.近一次比赛中，我试图跳跃过一名后卫。我想创造一项传奇，但伤了自己的腿。请不要泄露这个新闻。你们与我联盟。好么?你们的泄露会损坏我的声誉的!”米尔先生做了个鬼脸。所有的学生都笑了。
