A crowd of student was gathered on the campus of Oxford¹ 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 admiration²。 “How should we support him and learn from him！” said another。

Suddenly， a girl asked， “What did the Dean say to you， Hob？”

He bent³ 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。”
