A Man of Actions
　　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。”
