Conversation:

A: You're not happy today, Tom. What's the matter?

B: Well, I failed the math examination. I feel quite ashamed to tell my parents about the results. 

A: I'm sorry to hear that. So far as I know, you've always been working hard.

B: Yes. I spend much time on it, but..

A: Tom, there's nothing to be ashamed of. You have done your best. You were just unlucky, you know. Cheer up! I'm sure you'll pass next time.

B: Thank you.

你今天不太高兴,汤姆。怎么了?

哦,我数学考试没有及格。我感到很惭愧,不知道该怎么把考试结果告诉我父母。

听你这么说,我很难过。据我所知,你一直都很努力。

是啊,我在这上面花费了很多时间,但是。

汤姆,没有什么好惭愧的。你已经尽力了,你只是不够幸运。振作起来,我肯定你下次会通过的。

谢谢。
