Please speak English——请讲英语

I'm a high school geometry teacher and I started one lesson on triangles by reading a theorem. "If an angle is an exterior angle of a triangle, then its measure is greater than the measure of either of its corresponding remote interior angles."

　　I noticed that one student wasn't taking notes and asked him why. "Well," he replied sincerely, "I'm waiting until you start speaking English."

　　　　我是一名高中几何老师，一天要教三角形，我通过读一个定理来开始这节课： “如果一个角是一个三角形的外角，它的度数比与它对应的不相邻的2个远内角中的任一个的度数都要大”。

　　这时，我发现一个学生没有做笔记，于是问他为什么不做，“呃”，他真诚地回答，“我得等到你开始说英语时，我才开始做笔记”。
