(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."

畢業證印錯字母6年,美國大學花30萬重印!

只需交一份畢業證書的材料費科羅拉多梅薩大學就可以給你提供兩份畢業證書啦。這是什麼情況呢?第一次分發的畢業證書是由科羅拉多梅薩大學的‘洞’事會簽發的。


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份畢業證書的左下角靜靜待了六年,直到一位熱心的學校報紙編輯艾力克·威廉斯在這個月發現了它。


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.

威廉斯當時正在網上瀏覽尋找已經畢業學生的畢業證書照片。一開始,他說他並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.

“如果學校想把這件事情處理好,他們至少應該確認畢業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.

爲了把有錯別字的畢業證書在兩天之內全部重新打印並寄出,科羅拉多梅薩大學建立了一個網站專門來收集畢業證書重新印刷的申請。每一份畢業證書將需要科羅拉多梅薩大學支付五美元的費用。


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

一份畢業證書象徵着背後學生們爲自己的教育付出的巨大努力,” 學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年各地的畢業生們提個醒:一定要反覆確認自己的畢業證書上沒有錯誤喲!
