tax avoidance 避税tax evasion 逃税参考译文逃学的孩子们都缺乏想像力。
他们通常能够做到的，至多也就是安静地钓上一天鱼，或在电影院里坐上8个小时，一遍遍地看同一部电影。
而有那么一个小男孩，他在逃学期间旅行了1,600英里，从而使上述所有逃学的孩子们都相形见绌了。
他搭便车到了多佛，天快黑时钻进了一条船，想找个地方睡觉。
第二天早上他醒来时，发现船在这段时间已经到了加。
．当男孩从船里爬出来时，谁也没有发现他。
从那里他又搭上卡车到了巴黎。
司机给了他几块饼干和一杯咖啡，就把他丢在了城外。
男孩截住的下一辆车，没有像他希望的那样把他带到巴黎市中心，而是把他带到了法国和西班牙边界上的佩皮尼昂。
他在那儿被一个警察抓住了，之后被当局送回了英国。
他无疑为成千上万梦想逃避上学的孩子们创造了一项纪录。
