我有個朋友在聖路易斯的華盛頓大學教歐洲歷史，他說有一次他發現了一篇抄襲的學期論文。他把那個學生叫到了辦公室。「這不是你寫的，」他說，「有人幫你從百科全書上原封不動地打印了下來。」

　　「你沒有證據。」那學生氣急敗壞地說。

　　我朋友笑了，他把論文拿給他看。用紅筆圈出來的是：「也可參閱共產主義一文。」

Plagiarism

A friend of mine who teachs European history at Washington University in St. Louis tell about the 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 cann't prove that!" the student sputtered.

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