終於，輪到居於末位的王美瑛老師發(fā)言。

        她老娘早就想趁「新官上任三把火」──代理校長剛上任，還沒把事Ga0砸、尚存威嚴(yán)之時──不吐不快：

        「Asyouknow,I’mLilyLi’shomeroomteacher,aswelsArielLiu’snguagetutor.Iknowclearlymyresponsibilitiesandobligations.Ihavealreadymaed,notjustonce,IamfullyawareofbeingobligatedtodowhatIhavetodo,aotakeanypracticalmeasures—andevenassistintakiions,providedmypresenecessary.Thisittee,heless,kepthinderingmefromfulfillingmyduty.Andnow,President,YourHonor,ishere.Iwouldliketoreiteratemydisappoioallofyou—」

        「說中文，美瑛老師──T諒我們有些老師不講英文?！?br>

        「很失禮耶王老師──」「尊重一下好不好？」「權(quán)宜問題、權(quán)宜問題！」「主席，立刻將王美瑛趕出去！」

        不滿的聲音此起彼落。

        代理校長不為所動。

        見主席的神情b雕塑的表情更加肅穆，叫囂的人員只好乖乖閉嘴。
