Earlier last week, Professor Reb Beatty, who teaches business administration at Anne Arundel Community College, held the first test of the semester.
上周早些时候，在安妮阿伦德尔社区学院教工商管理的雷布·贝蒂教授进行了本学期的第一次考试。

As usual, the professor allowed students to bring in a "3-by-5" notecard to serve as a cheat sheet.
像往常一样，这位教授允许学生们带上一张“3乘5”大小的笔记。

Most of the class likely stayed up all night attempting to transcribe an entire chapter's worth of material in tiny handwriting, but one student had a better idea.
大部分的学生可能整夜都在尝试在这张纸上用小字来抄写整章有价值的内容，但是有一个学生却想出了一个更好的办法。

Since Prof. Beatty never specified the dimensions were in inches, one super-genius brought in a notecard that was 3-by-5 feet instead.
由于贝蒂教授从未指定“3乘5”的单位是英寸，一名超级天才居然带了了一张3乘5英尺的小抄。

"As precise as I am, apparently I never specified inches and therefore yes, it was allowed," the professor wrote in the caption of an Instagram pic he snapped of the massive cheat sheet. "Well played and lesson learned for me."
这位教授在Instagram上分享这一巨型小抄时写道：“虽然我很严谨，但显然我从来没有指定单位是英寸，所以她这样做是合乎要求的。算你恨，这确实给我好好上了一课。”

The student in question is Elijah Bowen, who has been crowned the Internet's newest hero.
上述的这名学生名叫伊利亚·鲍文，现在已经成为了网络上的最新红人。

"Clearly the smartest student in the class," one person commented on Instagram, while another gave some the student some career advice: "This student has en eye for detail... That's an excellent quality in accounting."
一位用户在Instagram上评论道：“显然这是班上最聪明的学生。”而另一个人则给该学生提了一些职业建议：“这个学生很注重把握细节，那可是身为会计非常重要的品质。”
