He Was Only Wrong by Two Jack Hawkins was the football coach at an Amercian college， and he was always trying to find good players， but they weren t always smart enough to be accepted by the college. One day the coach brought an excellent young player to the dean of the college and asked that the student be allowed to enter without an examination. “Well，” the dean said after some persuasion， “I d better ask him a few questions first.”Then he turned to the student and asked him some very easy questions， but the student didn t know any of the answers. At last the dean said， “Well， what s five times seven？”The student thought for a long time and then answered， “Thirty six.”The dean threw up his hands and looked at the coach in despair， but the coach said earnestly， “Oh， please let him in， sir！ He was only wrong by two.”
他的得数只比正确答案多二杰克霍金斯是美国一所学院的橄榄球队教练，他竭力想物色好球员。但是好球员学业不行，院方不愿录取。 有一天，教练带着一位优秀的年轻球员去见院长，希望院方同意他免试入学。经过一番劝说后院长说：“那我最好先问问他几个问题。”然后他转向学生，问了几个非常简单的问题。可是那个学生一个也答不上来。 最后院长说：“那么，五乘七得多少？”学生想了很久，然后回答说：“三十六。”院长摊开双手失望地看了看教练。可是教练认真地说，“噢，录取他吧，先生。他的答案只比正确答案多二。”
