Excited groups gather about rude circles scratched in the mud, and there is talk of "pureys," and "reals," and "aggies," and "commies," and "fen dubs!" There is a rich click about the bulging pockets of the boys, and every so often in school time something drops on the floor and rolls noisily across the room. When Miss Daniels asks: "Who did that?" the boys all look so astonished. Who did what pray tell? [McClure's magazine, May 1905]
兴奋的人群聚集在泥地上划出的粗糙圆圈周围,谈论着“pureys”、“reals”、“aggies”、“commies”和“fen dubs!”男孩们的口袋里有丰厚的声音,每隔一段时间在上课时间里,有东西掉在地上,发出嘈杂的滚动声。当丹尼尔斯小姐问:“谁干的?”男孩们都看起来很惊讶。请问谁干了什么?[麦克卢尔杂志,1905年5月]
