The Plagiarized Paper | 抄袭的论文

English Original

A friend of mine who teaches European history at Washington University in St. Louis once told me about a time he spotted a plagiarized term paper. He summoned the student to his office.

"This isn't your work," he said. "Someone typed it for you straight out of the encyclopedia."

"You can't prove that!" the student sputtered.

My friend smiled and showed him the paper. Circled in red was: "Also see article on communism."


中文翻译

我有个朋友在圣路易斯的华盛顿大学教欧洲历史,他曾告诉我他发现一篇抄袭的学期论文的经历。他把那个学生叫到了办公室。

“这不是你写的,”他说,“有人帮你从百科全书上原封不动地打印了下来。”

“你没有证据!”那学生气急败坏地说。

我朋友笑了,他把论文拿给他看。用红笔圈出来的是:“也可参阅共产主义一文。”
