雅思阅读材料之法国52岁妈妈替女儿代考英文被罚款7000欧

A 52-year-old mother who 'dressed like a teenager' to sit her daughter's end of term English exam has been arrested in France.

近日，一位52岁的法国妈妈为自己19岁的女儿替考英文。她还刻意穿成年轻人的样子，但最终被捕。

The middle-aged woman wore low-waisted skinny jeans and Converse shoes to sit the English language baccalaureate in Paris.

这起事件发生在巴黎。当时，这位中年大妈穿着低腰紧身牛仔裤和匡威帆布鞋，坐在英语高中会考的教室里。

But a sharp-eyed invigilator who had seen the 19-year-old daughter taking her philosophy paper a week earlier realised the woman was an imposter and called police.

但监考老师可没这容易骗过，尤其是在一周前他才见过这位19岁的女儿拍毕业照，和眼前这位大妈明显不是同一个人。他于是打电话报了警。

She was arrested when the exam ended so as not to disturb other students taking the paper this week, a Paris police spokesman said. He added: 'The mother was dressed in the casual clothes a typical teenager would wear.

巴黎警方发言人说，他们等到考试结束才逮捕了这位太太，以防打扰其他学生考试。发言人还补充说：“这个妈妈穿着休闲、明显是年轻人的打扮。”

'She was held briefly in custody and freely admitted what she had done. She said she was better at English than her daughter.' The mother now faced fraud charges and a fine of up to £7,000. The daughter faced being banned from taking all public exams for five years, police said. 

“她被拘留了一段时间，对自己代考的事实供认不讳。还说她自己的英文比女儿好。” 她将面临诈骗罪的起诉和7000磅（约66000人民币）的罚款。而她的女儿，警方表示，则会被禁止在5年以内参加任何公共考试。

The baccalaureate was introduced by Napoleon in 1808 and is France's main school-leaving exam. Students usually take five subjects which they must pass if they wish to go to university. 

法国的会考制度是1808年拿破仑建立的，是法国主要高中的毕业考。学生如果想进入大学，必须参与五个科目的考试。
