There were three professors² at the railway station. They were deep in conversation. The train had just arrived, but they did not notice it. Then the guard³ shouted, "Take your seats, please!"   The professors heard the guard and rushed for the train. Two of them got on the train before it moved. The third one was left behind. It was Professor¹ Egghead. He looked worried.   One of the professor's students was at the station. He tried to comfort⁴ the professor. "It wasn't really bad, sir," said the student. "Two out of three caught the train. That's quite good, you know." "I know," the professor said. "But it was my train. My friends only came to say goodbye."   三個教授在站臺上等火車。他們正在全神貫注地談話?；疖囘M站了，可是他們都沒有注意到。這個時候，列車員喊道：“請上車了！”   教授們聽到后飛快地向火車跑去。其中的兩個剛登上去，火車就開了。最后一個名叫埃哈德的教授沒有趕上火車，看起來非常焦慮。   教授的一個學生也在車站等車，他盡力安慰著教授：“先生，這還不是很糟，你們中有兩個人已經趕上了火車。要知道，這已經很好了。”“我明白，”教授說，“但是要趕火車的是我，他們只是來為我送行的。”
