tragedy

梅子爱找茶

President Bill Clinton is visiting an elementary school today and he visits one of the classes. They are in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asks the President if he would like to lead the class in the discussion of the word, &quot;tragedy.&quot; So our illustrious leader asks the class for an example of a &quot;tragedy.&quot; <p>One little boy stands up and offers, &quot;If my best friend, who lives next door, is playing in the street and a car comes along and runs him over, that would be a tragedy.&quot; <br>&quot;No,&quot; says Clinton, &quot;that would be an accident.&quot; <p>A little girl raises her hand: &quot;If a school bus carrying 50 children drove off a cliff, killing everyone involved, that would be a tragedy.&quot; <br>&quot;I'm afraid not,&quot; explains Mr. President. &quot;That's what we would call a GREAT LOSS.&quot; <p>The room goes silent. No other children volunteer. President Clinton searches the room. &quot;Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?&quot; <p>Finally, way in the back of the room, a small boy raises his hand. In a quiet voice he says, &quot;If Air Force One, carrying Mr. &amp; Mrs. Clinton, was struck by a missile and blown up to smithereens, that would be a tragedy. &quot;<br>&quot;Fantastic,&quot; exclaims Clinton, &quot;that's right. And can you tell me WHY that would be a tragedy?&quot; <br>&quot;Well,&quot; says the boy, &quot;because it wouldn't be an accident, and it certainly would be no great loss.&quot;<p>

推广汉字，推广普通话是我国教育系统的一贯方针，没想到一个老师竟然带头违反，真是佩服！
