成人英语三级阅读理解(63)

Tammy: A student there lost a bet on the NBA finals and then ran naked across the football field.
Bruce: Good for him. At least he lived up to his end of the bet, right?
Tammy: True enough, but the university head seems to value image over honesty.
Bruce: So he got into big trouble?
Tammy: Yep. Two major demerits and two minor demerits.
Bruce: Does that go on his report card or something?
Tammy: No, but if he makes one false move, he could be expelled from the university just like that.
Bruce: Maybe we should organize a naked protest.
Tammy: That sounds like a good way to get yourself deported.

塔米：那里的一个学生赌输了NBA总冠军赛的赌注，然后就裸奔跑足球场。
布鲁斯：真有他的。至少他实践了赌输的承诺，对吧？
塔米：的确如此，但是那所大学的校长似乎把形象看得比诚信还重。
布鲁斯：所以他惹上大麻烦？
塔米：对呀。两大过两小过。
布鲁斯：那会记录在他的成绩单上或诸如此类吗？
塔米：不会，但是万一他出错一次，他就可能会直接被那所大学退学。
布鲁斯：或许我们应该组织一个裸体抗议。
塔米：那听来是个让你自己被驱逐出境的好方法。
