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，如果系主任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：“系主任对你说什么了，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。” Notes (1)A crowd of:一群 (2)on the campus:在校园里 (3)have no doubt:没有疑问、毫无疑问 (4)take back what he said：收回他说的话。也可以说take back his words (5)very：(a.)就是那个、正是那个 (6)in admiration：羡慕地 (7)whispered：whisper的过去式，意为“悄声说” |
