There were twenty students waiting there for her. “I'm sorry ,” she told th§m,“but I won’t be able to give my lecture today. The students looked surprised. Miss Evans explained that she had an important meeting.

However,she went on,“though I can't be with you myself,my voice can.” Then she put a small tape recorder (錄音機(jī)) on the desk. “You see,I've recorded my lecture and you can listen to it without me. Miss Evans turned on the recorder and left.

        The meeting ended a little early. Miss Evans decided to go back to her students. She stood for a moment outside the lecture room,listening to her own voice. Then quickly,she opened the door. To her surprise,the room was empty. As she looked around,she saw a number of small recorders “l(fā)istening” to her lecture!
