A new student was just finding his way around Harvard University.

一位哈佛大学新生正在熟悉校园环境。

"Excuse me," he aske an upperclassman, "can you tell me where the library's at?"

“对不起，”他问一位高年级学长，“您能告诉我图书馆在哪里吗?”

"What appalling diction," sneered the older student. "I can't imagine how you could have been admitted to Harvard.

“好可怕的用字喔!”那名学长嘲弄他道。

Don' t you know better than to end a sentence with a preposition?"

"不知道你老弟是怎么获准进入哈佛的。难道你不知道介词不要放在一个句子后面吗?"

"OK. Can you tell me where the library's at, asshole?"

“好吧!你能告诉我图书馆在哪里吗，驴蛋?”
