A school inspector was visiting an English class one day. He found some
students were not sure about how to put the letters i or e in the words like
receive,"believe,"and ceiling."一天,有个学校巡视员在视察一堂英语课时,发现有些学生拿不准像“receive”、“believe”和“ceiling”这些单词中的字母i和e什么在前,什么在后。
He said: "Students, I can give you a rule. It always works well for me."The students were very interested. Even the teacher seemed eager to learn this important rule. 他说:“同学们,我可以告诉你们一个规律。这个规律对我来说很管用。”学生们很感兴趣,甚至老师也急于想知道这个重要的规律。
The inspector continued: "It is simply this: Write the i and the e exactly alike and then put the dot in the middle over them." 巡视员接着说:“很简单: 把i和e写得很相像,然后在它们上面中间的地方点个点。”
