哈佛大学图书馆：我们的墙上没有校训！
<p>关于哈佛大学的校训在中国互联网上盛传已久。哈佛大学图书馆官方网站还真有人留言询问：在哪里可以看到传说中的哈佛大学校训？对此，哈佛大学图书馆给出的回答是：这些校训都是假的，在哈佛墙上看不到所谓的校训，并称所谓校训都是编造的。</p><p><span word="Q">Q</span>：<span word="I">I</span>'<span word="ve">ve</span> <span word="heard">heard</span> <span word="there">there</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="list">list</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="proverbs">proverbs</span>/<span word="mottos">mottos</span>/<span word="aphorisms">aphorisms</span>/<span word="reprimands">reprimands</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="wall">wall</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="Harvard">Harvard</span> <span word="Library">Library</span>. <span word="Where">Where</span> <span word="can">can</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="see">see</span> <span word="them">them</span>?</p><p>问题：我听说哈佛大学的某个图书馆墙上有一列校训？去哪儿能看到？</p><p><span word="A">A</span>：<span word="This">This</span> <span word="seems">seems</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="rumor">rumor</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="prevalent">prevalent</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Internet">Internet</span>, <span word="particularly">particularly</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="China">China</span>. <span word="We">We</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="found">found</span> <span word="no">no</span> <span word="trace">trace</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="any">any</span> <span word="mottos">mottos</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="Harvard">Harvard</span> <span word="library">library</span> <span word="wall">wall</span>, <span word="and">and</span> <span word="Professor">Professor</span> <span word="Robert">Robert</span> <span word="Darnton">Darnton</span> <span word="states">states</span> <span word="unequivocally">unequivocally</span>, "<span word="As">As</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="university">university</span> <span word="librarian">librarian</span>, <span word="I">I</span> <span word="can">can</span> <span word="attest">attest</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="no">no</span> <span word="such">such</span> <span word="writings">writings</span> <span word="exist">exist</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="any">any</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="walls">walls</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="Harvard">Harvard</span>'<span word="s">s</span> 73 <span word="libraries">libraries</span>."
