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!”
一个言出必行的人
一群学生聚在牛津的校园里,一个年轻人情绪激动地叫道:“毋庸置疑,如果那个家伙不收回他今早对我说的话,我今晚就离开牛津。”
下面一片喧哗。“真是个言出必行的人。”一个人艳羡地说。另一个说:“我们要支持他、学习他。”
突然,一个女孩问道:“那家伙对你说什么了,霍波?”
他弯下腰小声说:“哦,呃…呃…,罗斯小姐,呃…他说要我今晚从牛津滚出去。”
