A Man of Actions
A crowd of student was gathered on the campus of Oxford University.“You can have no doubt,”shouted a young man excitedly,“that if the Dean does not take back what he said to me this morning, I'll leave Oxford this very evening!”
A buzzing noise followed.“What a man of actions!”one said in admiration.“How should we support him and learn from him!”said another.
Suddenly, a girl asked,“What did the Dean say to you, Hob?”
He bent and whispered to her,“Well,er???er???Miss Rose, er???he told me to get clean away from Oxford this very evening!”
一個言出必行的人
一群學生聚在牛津的校園里,一個年輕人情緒激動地叫道:“毋庸置疑,如果那個家伙不收回他今早對我說的話,我今晚就離開牛津。”
下面一片喧嘩。“真是個言出必行的人。”一個人艷羨地說。另一個說:“我們要支持他、學習他。”
突然,一個女孩問道:“那家伙對你說什么了,霍波?”
他彎下腰小聲說:“哦,呃…呃…,羅斯小姐,呃…他說要我今晚從牛津滾出去。”
