A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
大学
College
The idea of going back to college scares me, and I didn't even go. I went to college for one year, two semesters. If you add up the total time, I probably didn't even go one semester.
回到大学的想法让我害怕，我甚至没有去。我上了一年大学，两个学期。如果你把所有的时间加起来，我可能一个学期都没上过。
You can take a school like the University of Colorado, with a selective admission standard. It has a better caliber student going in, so you ought to have a better caliber coming out.
你可以选择科罗拉多大学这样的学校，有选择性的录取标准。它有一个更优秀的学生，所以你应该有一个更优秀的学生出来。

我已经脚踏实地了，我看不出生活有太大的变化。我想会有更多的女孩在大学里和我说话，会有更多的人看着我，但她们知道我是谁。
I could be happy doing something like architecture. It would involve another couple of years of graduate school, but that's what I studied in college. That's what I always wanted to do.

Students now arrive at the university ignorant and cynical about our political heritage, lacking the wherewithal to be either inspired by it or seriously critical of it.
