Mike was late for school. He said to his teacher, Mr. Black, "Excuse me for my coming late, sir. I watched a football match in my dream."

"Why did it make you late?" inquired the teacher.

"Because neither team could win the game, so it lasted a long time." replied Mike.

麦克上学迟到了。他对布莱克老师说：“对不起，老师，今天早上我迟到了。因为我在梦里观看了一场球赛。”

“为什么它会让你迟到呢？”老师问道。

“因为这两个队都没有能力获胜，所以就持续的时间长了。”麦克回答说。
