畢業(yè)證印錯字母6年,美國大學(xué)花30萬重印

(CNN)Colorado Mesa University is issuing two diplomas for the price of one. The catch? The first one was signed by the chair of CMU's "Coard of Trustees."

只需交一份畢業(yè)證書的材料費科羅拉多梅薩大學(xué)就可以給你提供兩份畢業(yè)證書啦。這是什么情況呢?第一次分發(fā)的畢業(yè)證書是由科羅拉多梅薩大學(xué)的‘洞’事會簽發(fā)的。

The embarrassing typo lingered in the bottom left corner of nearly 9,200 diplomas for six years -- until outgoing school newspaper editor Alec Williams caught it this month.

這尷尬的錯別字在9200份畢業(yè)證書的左下角靜靜待了六年，直到一位熱心的學(xué)校報紙編輯艾力克·威廉斯在這個月發(fā)現(xiàn)了它。

Williams was looking at a photo of a past graduate's diploma online. At first, he said, he wasn't sure if what he saw was actually a mistake or just part of the classic Old English font used on diplomas.

威廉斯當(dāng)時正在網(wǎng)上瀏覽尋找已經(jīng)畢業(yè)學(xué)生的畢業(yè)證書照片。一開始，他說他并不確定照片上的的確確是個錯別字，還是一種專門使用在畢業(yè)證書上的古英文字體。

"If they're going to do anything right, they need to make sure -- at the very least -- the non-name related words are spelled correctly," Williams told CNN.

“如果學(xué)校想把這件事情處理好，他們至少應(yīng)該確認(rèn)畢業(yè)證書上非姓名的單詞拼寫他是正確的，” 威廉斯這樣告訴CNN的記者。

 

The university has already created a website to fulfill diploma requests with the goal of having each diploma reprinted and mailed out within two days. Each reissued diploma will cost the university about $5.

為了把有錯別字的畢業(yè)證書在兩天之內(nèi)全部重新打印并寄出，科羅拉多梅薩大學(xué)建立了一個網(wǎng)站專門來收集畢業(yè)證書重新印刷的申請。每一份畢業(yè)證書將需要科羅拉多梅薩大學(xué)支付五美元的費用。

"A diploma symbolizes tremendous hard work and investment made by students in their education," the school told CNN in a statement.“

一份畢業(yè)證書象征著背后學(xué)生們?yōu)樽约旱慕逃冻龅木薮笈Γ?rdquo; 學(xué)校在一份聲明書中這樣告訴CNN。

So, let this be a lesson for college graduates everywhere: Make sure to triple-check your diplomas, Blass of 2018.

希望這能給2018年各地的畢業(yè)生們提個醒：一定要反復(fù)確認(rèn)自己的畢業(yè)證書上沒有錯誤喲!
