出國(guó)留學(xué)是人生中特別難忘的經(jīng)歷,出國(guó)留學(xué)在日常生活和學(xué)習(xí)中會(huì)碰到哪些事情呢?下面小編與大家一起分享留學(xué)經(jīng)驗(yàn),讓您提前感受留學(xué)之旅。
1.Your friends will change a lot over thenext four years. Let them。
你的朋友會(huì)在接下來(lái)的四年變很多。請(qǐng)讓他們順其自然。
2.Call someone you love back home a fewtimes a week, even if just for a few minutes。
每周打給家里你所愛的人幾次電話,即使只講幾分鐘。
3.In college more than ever before, songswill attach themselves to memories. Every month or two, make a mix cd, mp3folder, whatever - just make sure you keep copies of these songs. Ten yearsout, they'll be as effective as a journal in taking you back to your favoritemoments。
在大學(xué)音樂會(huì)比以往更能引發(fā)一段回憶。請(qǐng)每一兩個(gè)月,編一張CD,或者電腦上的MP3文件夾,總之保證你復(fù)制了那些音樂。十年之后,它能夠像一本日記一般帶你回憶過(guò)去最美好的光陰。
4.Take naps in the middle of the afternoonwith reckless abandon。
每天中午都要毅然決然的小憩一下。
5.Adjust your schedule around when you aremost productive and creative. If you're nocturnal and do your best work late atnight, embrace that. It may be the only time in your life when you can。
調(diào)整你的日程到你最有效率和創(chuàng)造力的方式。如果你是夜貓子并且在晚上工作最棒,那就接受這種模式。這可能是你人生中唯一能這么做的時(shí)間。
6.If you write your best papers the nightbefore they are due, don't let people tell you that you "should be moreorganized" or that you "should plan better." Different thingswork for different people. Personally, I worked best under pressure - so Ialways procrastinated... and always kicked ass. Use the freedom that comes withnot having grades first semester to experiment and see what works best for you。
如果你在快要交差時(shí)熬夜趕出來(lái)的論文最好,那就別在乎別人說(shuō)你“你該學(xué)會(huì)安排時(shí)間”或者“有計(jì)劃更好”。每個(gè)人都有不同的工作方式。就我而言,我在壓力下做得更好,所以我很拖沓,而且總是弄砸。好好利用第一學(xué)期不打分?jǐn)?shù)的自由吧,去經(jīng)歷不同的事然后找出最好的適合你的方式。
7.At least a few times in your collegecareer, do something fun and irresponsible when you should be studying. Thenight before my freshman year psych final, my roommate somehow scored front rowseats to the Indigo Girls at a venue 2 hours away. I didn't do so well on thefinal, but I haven't thought about psych since 1993. I've thought about theexperience of going to that show (with the guy who is now my son's godfather)at least once a month ever since。
在大學(xué)至少有那么幾次放縱享樂,無(wú)視你本來(lái)應(yīng)該在學(xué)習(xí)。在我大一精神科期末考前夜,我的室友居然搞到藍(lán)色少女合唱團(tuán)的前排票,而演出的地點(diǎn)要兩小時(shí)路程。我期末考表現(xiàn)不怎么樣,但在1993年之后我從未懷念考試,我只懷念去看演出的經(jīng)歷(還是和現(xiàn)在我兒子的教父一起去的),而且從那以后每個(gè)月都想起那么一兩次。
8.Become friends with your favoriteprofessors. Recognize that they can learn from you too - in fact, that's partof the reason they chose to be professors。
和你喜歡的教授交朋友。同時(shí)記得他們也會(huì)從你身上學(xué)到東西——事實(shí)上這也是他們想當(dāng)教授的原因之一。
9.Carve out an hour every single day to bealone. (Sleeping doesn't count。)
每天勻出一小時(shí)獨(dú)處。(睡覺不算)
10.Go on dates. Don't feel like every datehas to turn into a relationship。
出去約會(huì),但別想著每個(gè)約會(huì)都將變成戀愛。
11.Don't date someone your roommate hasbeen in a relationship with。
不要和你室友的EX交往。
12.When your friends'parents visit, includethem. You'll get free food, etc., and you'll help them to feel like they'recool, hangin' with the hip college kids。
當(dāng)你朋友的父母來(lái)訪,接納他們。你將能白吃白喝。而且你會(huì)使他們覺得自己很酷,能夠和時(shí)髦的大學(xué)孩子打成一片。
13.In the first month of college, send ahand-written letter to someone who made college possible for you and describeyour adventures thus far. It will mean a lot to him/her now, and it will mean alot to you in ten years when he/she shows it to you。
入學(xué)一個(gè)月,你該手寫一封信給幫助你進(jìn)入大學(xué)的人,告訴他們至今你的經(jīng)歷。這對(duì)她/他而言意義很大,而在十年后她/他將信給你看時(shí)也是如此。
14.Embrace the differences between you andyour classmates. Always be asking yourself, "what can I learn from thisperson?" More of your education will come from this than from anyclassroom。
包容你和同學(xué)的差異。時(shí)刻提醒自己“我能從他身上學(xué)習(xí)什么?”這比上課能學(xué)到的多多了。
15.All-nighters are entirely overrated。
所有夜貓子都被高估了。(我猜是熬夜的人都高估自己的熬夜能力?)
16.For those of you who have come tocollege in a long-distance relationship with someone from high school: despitewhat many will tell you, it can work. The key is to not let your relationshipinterfere with your college experience. If you don't want to date anyone else,that's totally fine! What's not fine, however, is missing out on a lot ofdefining experiences because you're on the phone with your boyfriend/girlfriendfor three hours every day。
對(duì)于和高中同學(xué)異地戀的大學(xué)生:別管別人說(shuō)什么,異地戀能成功的。關(guān)鍵是不要讓你們的關(guān)系干涉你的大學(xué)經(jīng)歷。如果你不想和別人約會(huì),完全沒關(guān)系!有關(guān)系的是,你將因?yàn)槊刻齑?個(gè)小時(shí)電話給男/女朋友而錯(cuò)過(guò)很多經(jīng)典的經(jīng)歷了。
17.Working things out between friends isbest done in person, not over email. (IM does not count as "inperson.") Often someone's facial expressions will tell you more thanhis/her words。
解決朋友之間問(wèn)題的最好方式是面談,不要用電郵。(即時(shí)通訊不算“當(dāng)面”)一個(gè)人的表情勝過(guò)言語(yǔ)。
18.Take risks。
去冒險(xiǎn)。
19.Don't be afraid of (or excited by) theco-ed bathrooms. The thrill is over in about 2 seconds。
別對(duì)公共浴室感到恐懼(或者產(chǎn)生興奮感)。這種感覺進(jìn)去兩秒鐘就沒了。
20.Wednesday is the middle of the week; therefore on wednesday night theweek is more than half over. You should celebrate accordingly. (It makesthursday and friday a lot more fun。)
周三是一周的中間。因此周三晚上表示一周大部分過(guò)去了,你應(yīng)該慶祝一下。(這讓周四周五更有趣了。)
21.Welcome failure into your lives. It'show we grow. What matters is not that you failed, but that you recovered。
直面失敗。我們因失敗成長(zhǎng)。關(guān)鍵不是你受傷而是你愈合。
22.Take some classes that have nothing todo with your major(s), purely for the fun of it。
選些非專業(yè)課,純粹因愛好去學(xué)。
23.It's important to think about thefuture, but it's more important to be present in the now. You won't get themost out of college if you think of it as a stepping stone。
計(jì)劃未來(lái)很重要,但活在當(dāng)下更重要。你如果拿大學(xué)當(dāng)墊腳石你就不能充分利用大學(xué)。
24.When you're living on a college campuswith 400 things going on every second of every day, watching TV is pretty mucha waste of your time and a waste of your parents'money. If you're going towatch, watch with friends so at least you can call it a "valuable socialexperience."
當(dāng)大學(xué)每時(shí)每刻有400件事在進(jìn)行,看電視完全就是浪費(fèi)時(shí)間和金錢。如果你一定要看,至少和朋友一起看吧,好歹能算“有價(jià)值的社交經(jīng)歷”
25.Don't be afraid to fall in love. When ithappens, don't take it for granted. Celebrate it, but don't let it define yourcollege experience。
不要害怕陷入愛情。當(dāng)愛來(lái)臨,也不要當(dāng)做必然。感謝戀愛,但不要讓它主導(dǎo)你的大學(xué)生活。
26.Much of the time you once had for pleasurereading is going to disappear. Keep a list of the books you would have read hadyou had the time, so that you can start reading them。
為享樂而閱讀的時(shí)光過(guò)去了。是時(shí)候列一張你想讀的書單等開始讀了。
27.Things that seem like the end of theworld really do become funny with a little time and distance. Knowing this,forget the embarassment and skip to the good part。
看上去是世界末日的事情,過(guò)段時(shí)間真的會(huì)顯得很搞笑。知道了這個(gè),你就能忘掉尷尬直接跳到之后好的部分了。
28.Every once in a while, there will comean especially powerful moment when you can actually feel that an experience haschanged who you are. Embrace these, even if they are painful。
隔三差五會(huì)有極為震撼的時(shí)刻發(fā)生重大事件讓你切身體會(huì)到自己為之改變,接納這些事吧,即便遍體鱗傷。
29.No matter what your political orreligious beliefs, be open-minded. You're going to be challenged over the nextfour years in ways you can't imagine, across all fronts. You can't learn ifyou're closed off。
撇開你的政治主張或宗教信仰,做曠達(dá)的人。在接下來(lái)四年你會(huì)受到各種方式的挑戰(zhàn),你甚至無(wú)法想象它們從各個(gè)方面而來(lái)的架勢(shì)。如果你閉塞自己的觀念,你就無(wú)法學(xué)習(xí)。
30.If you need to get a job, find somethingthat you actually enjoy. Just because it's work doesn't mean it has to suck。

不要總是做領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者,有時(shí)候跟從也很好。
32.Take a lot of pictures. One of my majorregrets in life is that I didn't take more pictures in college. My excuse wasthe cost of film and processing. Digital cameras are cheap and you have plentyof hard drive space, so you have no excuse。
多拍照。我大學(xué)最后悔的事情之一就是沒有多拍幾張照片。我的借口是膠卷和沖洗的錢。數(shù)碼相機(jī)現(xiàn)在不貴而且你有足夠存儲(chǔ)空間用,所以你沒有借口了。

學(xué)會(huì)求助,并習(xí)慣。

37.In the long run, where you go to collegedoesn't matter as much as what you do with the opportunities you're giventhere. The MIT name on your resume won't mean much if that's the only thing onyour resume. As a student here, you will have access to a variety of uniqueopportunities that no one else will ever have - don't waste them。
長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)來(lái)看,你讀什么大學(xué)沒有你在大學(xué)所把握的機(jī)遇重要。你簡(jiǎn)歷上寫著麻省理工并不意味著什么如果其他什么都沒有。作為麻省理工的學(xué)生,你會(huì)比別人有更多的獨(dú)一無(wú)二的機(jī)遇——別錯(cuò)過(guò)。
38.On the flip side, don't try to doeverything. Balance = well-being。

44.Don't be afraid of the weird pizzatopping combinations that your new friend from across the country loves. Someof the truly awful ones actually taste pretty good. Expand your horizons。

45.Explore the campus thoroughly. Don't getcaught。

49.Enjoy every second of the next fouryears. It is impossible to describe how quickly they pass。
享受接下來(lái)四年的每一秒,你無(wú)法描述它多快就逝去了。
50.This is the only time in your lives whenyour only real responsibility is to learn. Try to remember how lucky you areevery day。
這是人生中僅有的時(shí)刻,你僅有的職責(zé)是去學(xué)習(xí)。試著每一天都告訴自己,你有多幸運(yùn)。
