Hi all!
Could you please have a look at this little passage and tell me if it is ok?
----
Another philisopher, teaching his disciple, asked: «Haven't you understood?» «I have» — replied he. Then the philisopher said: «It is not true for understainding is witnessed by pleasure on (don't want to use "your" here to avoid repetition) the(?) face rather than by your answer.»

Thank you in advance!
Anton

Thanks for showing me that I don't see simple things!
BTW,
Can I somehow keep the original form of the question? I think it has a slightly different coloration than yours:
"You should have understood. I am amazed that you look like you haven't undestood... So, what's the matter? Have you got it or not?"
Hope, you grasp what I want the question to be...
