答案

这句话出自 J·K·罗琳2008年在哈佛大学毕业典礼上的演讲
So they hoped that I would take a vocational degree; I wanted to study English Literature.A compromise was reached that in retrospect satisfied nobody,and I went up to study Modern Languages.Hardly had my parents' car rounded the corner at the end of the road than I ditched German and scuttled off down the Classics corridor.
他们希望我再去读个职业学位,而我想去研究英国文学.最后,达成了一个双方都不甚满意的妥协：我改学语言学.可是等到父母的车消失在公路的转角,我就立刻抛掉了德语,奔向古典文学的道路.
