A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
大学
College
I grew up in Chicago, so I've always been a Bears fan. Dad used to take me to Bears games and Cubs games. My brother used to ride me over to Lake Forest College on his Honda Supersport and we'd watch the Bears practice. I remember those guys out there as monsters - they were the biggest things I've ever seen!
我在芝加哥长大，所以我一直是熊队的球迷。爸爸过去常带我去看熊和小熊的游戏。我哥哥过去常骑着他的本田超级跑车带我去森林湖学院，我们会看熊队训练。我记得那些家伙就像怪物一样——他们是我见过的最大的怪物!
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。
So somebody told me that if I wasn't a coffee drinker yet, by the end of college I'd have to be, because a math major is so tough I would have to stay up very late. I was going to need coffee to do that. Well, merely because they said that, I never drank coffee in college, never got addicted to it, never needed it.
所以有人告诉我，如果我还不喜欢喝咖啡，到大学毕业的时候，我就得喝咖啡了，因为数学专业太难了，我不得不熬夜到很晚。我需要咖啡来做这个。只是因为他们说，我在大学里从不喝咖啡，从不上瘾，从不需要咖啡。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
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。
The commencement speech is not, I think, a wholly satisfactory manifestation of our culture.
我认为，毕业演讲并不能完全令人满意地体现我们的文化。
College is a refuge from hasty judgment.
大学是逃避草率判断的避难所。
Credit card companies pay college students generously to stand outside dining halls, dorms, and academic buildings and encourage their fellow students to apply for credit cards.
信用卡公司慷慨地支付给大学生，让他们站在餐厅、宿舍和学术大楼外面，并鼓励他们的同学申请信用卡。
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.
每当一个学生经过一幢属于他的学院的非常紧急、富有表现力的建筑时，它都能帮助他确信，他确实有那样的头脑，有那样的灵魂。
A University should be a place of light, of liberty, and of learning.
大学应该是一个充满光明、自由和学习的地方。
