A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
大学
College
I think I'm mostly looking forward to the college life. I'm looking forward to more freedom. Here everything is really structured and scheduled, but in college you've got to be more responsible and you can get things done on your own time. I'm really looking forward to that.
我想我最期待的是大学生活。我期待更多的自由。在这里,每件事都是有组织和安排的,但在大学里,你必须更有责任感,你可以在自己的时间里完成事情。我真的很期待。
I had acne late, in college. My skin used to be really flawless. Went to college, became a vegetarian, ate a lot of cheese - big mistake. Here I am trying to be healthy and I'm eating grilled cheese sandwiches and french fries every day, having mad eruptions all over my face.
我上大学的时候长了粉刺。我的皮肤曾经很完美。上了大学,成了素食主义者,吃了很多奶酪——这是一个很大的错误。在这里,我努力保持健康,每天吃烤奶酪三明治和炸薯条,满脸都是痘痘。
Most everything I do revolves around tae kwon do. That said, I like to be a typical girl and go shopping. I have three nieces and nephews that I like to hang out with. I'm also finishing my last semester at the University of Houston, where I'm majoring in childhood education.
我做的大部分事情都是围绕着跆拳道。也就是说,我喜欢做一个典型的女孩,去购物。我有三个侄子侄女,我喜欢和他们一起出去玩。我也即将结束在休斯敦大学的最后一个学期,我在那里主修儿童教育。
Ooh, it's too embarrassing to share my innermost romantic secrets - although I have written Danielle the odd poem. If anything they are more comedic than romantic. They used to be well-received but that was before she started studying Shakespeare at drama college. Now I feel so inept.
哦,分享我内心最浪漫的秘密太尴尬了——尽管我写了一首奇怪的诗给丹妮尔。如果说他们有什么不同的话,那就是他们更幽默而非浪漫。他们曾经很受欢迎,但那是在她开始在戏剧学院学习莎士比亚之前。现在我觉得自己很无能。
I wanted to be an English teacher. I wanted to do it for the corduroy jackets with patches on the side. When I got to college, as I was walking across campus one day, I ripped off a little flyer for this sketch-comedy group. It ended up being one of the greatest things I've ever done.
我想成为一名英语老师。我想为侧面有补丁的灯芯绒夹克做这件事。当我上大学的时候,有一天我在校园里走着,我为这个速写喜剧小组撕了一张小传单。这是我做过的最伟大的事情之一。
There was one point in high school actually when I was on the chess team, marching band, model United Nations and debate club all at the same time. And I would spend time with the computer club after school. And I had just quit pottery club, which I was in junior high, but I let that go.
高中的时候,有一段时间我同时参加了国际象棋队、军乐队、模拟联合国和辩论俱乐部。放学后我会花时间在电脑俱乐部。我刚从陶艺俱乐部退出,那是我上初中的时候,但我放弃了。
When I did plays in high school and college, I never remember memorizing my lines, but once I had blocking, I had all my lines memorized. Once I had movement associated with words, it was fine. Before I had blocking, it was just text on a page. Once it became embodied, it was much easier.
当我在高中和大学表演戏剧的时候,我从来没有记住我的台词,但是一旦我有了阻塞,我就把我所有的台词都记住了。一旦我有了与语言相关的动作,一切就都好了。在我使用阻塞之前,它只是页面上的文本。一旦它具体化了,就容易得多。
It feels kinda weird being back in a high school cause I haven't been in a high school for about a year. So um, it's kinda interesting coming back, and y'know seeing the lockers, with all the signs, the handmade signs, so being in high school again is a little bit strange but in a good way.
回到高中感觉有点奇怪,因为我已经一年没上高中了。所以,嗯,回来有点有趣,你知道,看到储物柜,所有的标志,手工制作的标志,所以再次回到高中有点奇怪,但在好的方面。
Our youth deserve the opportunity to complete their high school and college education, free of early parenthood. Their future children deserve the opportunity to grow up in financially and emotionally stable homes. Our communities benefit from healthy, productive, well-prepared young people.
我们的年轻人应该有机会完成他们的高中和大学教育,而不是过早地为人父母。他们未来的孩子应该有机会在经济和情感稳定的家庭中长大。我们的社区受益于健康、富有成效、准备充分的年轻人。
I'm sure there were times when I wish I had thought, 'Gosh, that might really embarrass mom and dad,' but our parents didn't raise us to think about them. They're very selfless and they wanted us to have as normal of a college life as possible. So really, we didn't think of any repercussions.
我敢肯定,有时候我真希望自己能想,‘天哪,那可能真的会让爸爸妈妈难堪’,但我们的父母没有把我们养大,让我们去想他们。他们非常无私,他们希望我们尽可能过正常的大学生活。所以真的,我们没有考虑任何后果。
Academics, who work for long periods in a self-directed fashion, may be especially prone to putting things off: surveys suggest that the vast majority of college students procrastinate, and articles in the literature of procrastination often allude to the author's own problems with finishing the piece.
长期以自我导向方式工作的学者们,可能尤其容易拖延:调查显示,绝大多数大学生都在拖延,有关拖延症的文献中的文章常常暗指作者自己在完成作品时遇到的问题。
At the Harvard Business School, I really felt I had gained the ability to resolve difficult issues. But I also felt that I wasn't in the mainstream with my fellow students. During job-hunting season, for example, everybody shaved their beards for interviews. I thought, 'This is crazy.' So I grew a beard.
在哈佛商学院,我真的觉得自己获得了解决难题的能力。但是我也觉得我和我的同学们并不是主流。例如,在求职季,每个人都要刮胡子去面试。我想,‘这太疯狂了。于是我留了胡子。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Yeah, some kids called me fish lips because I had these really full lips. Now I'm sure all those same girls are getting collagen injections, so I'm having the last laugh.
是的,有些孩子叫我鱼嘴,因为我的嘴唇很丰满。现在我确定所有这些女孩都在注射胶原蛋白,所以我笑到了最后。
Every time a student walks past a really urgent, expressive piece of architecture that belongs to his college, it can help reassure him that he does have that mind, does have that soul.

In college, you learn how to learn. Four years is not too much time to spend at that.
在大学里,你学习如何学习。四年的时间花在这上面并不多。
If you tell folks you're a college student, folks are so impressed. You can be a student in anything and not have to know anything. Just say toxicology or marine biokinesis, and the person you're talking to will change the subject to himself. If this doesn't work, mention the neural synapses of embryonic pigeons.
如果你告诉别人你是一名大学生,人们会对你印象深刻。你可以成为任何领域的学生,而不需要知道任何东西。只要说“毒理学”或“海洋生物动力”,你的谈话对象就会转移话题。如果这不起作用,提到胚胎鸽子的神经突触。
I knew what I wanted to do for my entire life, from nursery to university. I've always been geared towards wanting to act. I've stuck with it, dedicated time to it.
从幼儿园到大学,我知道我这一生想做什么。我一直都想演戏。我坚持了下来,投入了很多时间。
A University should be a place of light, of liberty, and of learning.
