 ### tail type inference
 
-You may think that when we introduce `auto`, we have already mentioned that `auto` cannot be used for function arguments for type derivation. Can `auto` be used to derive the return type of a function? Still consider an example of an add function, which we have to write in traditional C++:

 ### 尾返回类型推导
 
-你可能会思考，在介绍 `auto` 时，我们已经提过 `auto` 不能用于函数形参进行类型推导，那么 `auto` 能不能用于推导函数的返回类型呢？还是考虑一个加法函数的例子，在传统 C++ 中我们必须这么写：
