While at the same time as I say congratulations, I want to remind you that I think it comes as no surprise given the lateness of Labor Day this year that this first test came rather early and for many of you much of this material you had seen in high school.

当我对你们表示祝贺的同时，我也想提醒你，今年晚来的劳动节,并非是什么惊喜,第一个测试来的比较早,你们中的绝大多数在高中已经见过了。

I have the freedom to pass that person because I like the trend. Suppose I have somebody else who came here with two years of chemistry in high school, got a 95 on the first test, 70 on the second test, failed the third test, failed the final, has an aggregate score of 48.

我能够选择让那人通过,因为我喜欢他的进步，假设另一个同学,学了2年的化学在高中,第一次测试得到95分，第二次70分，第三次没通过，期末考也没通过。
