Prepare Yourself

　　A story around campus has it that a student once sent a telegram to his parents reading: "Mom - flunked¹ all courses. Kicked out of school. Prepare Pop."

　　Two days later he received a response: "Pop prepared. Prepare yourself."
　　
　　自己做好准备

　　校园里流传着这样的故事：一个学生一次给父母拍了一份电报，上面写着：“妈妈，我所有功课都不及格，被学校开除。让爸爸做好准备。”

　　两天以后，他收到了回电：“爸爸已准备好。你自己做好准备吧!”
