M: You are heading for a completely different world, now that you are about to graduate from high school.
男:你即将高中毕业,那么你将走向一个完全不同的世界。
W: I know it’s the end of high school, but many of classmates are going on to the same university, and we are still required to study hard. So what’s the difference?
女:我知道这是高中的结束,但是许多同学将上同一所大学,我们仍需要努力学习。 所以有什么不同?
M: Many aspects are different here at the university. The most important one is that you have to take more individual responsibility for your actions. It’s up to your own self-discipline—how much efforts you put into study. Living in college dormitories, there are no parents to tell you that study harder or stop wasting time. Lectures have hundreds of students and they are not going to follow you up or question you if you miss the lectures.
男:大学的许多方面都不同。最重要的是,你必须为自己的行为承担更多的个人责任。这取决于你自己的自律:你需要在学习中付出多少努力。生活在大学宿舍里,没有父母告诉你要更加努力学习或停止浪费时间。课堂上有数百名学生,如果你错过讲课,他们将不会跟进或询问你。
W: Nobody cares you mean?
女:没人在乎你的意思吗?
M: It’s not that nobody concerned about you, it’s just that suddenly at the university you are expected to behave like an adult. That means concentrating on the direction of your life in general and your own academic performance specifically.
男:并不是没有人关心你,而是突然间,你在大学里需要表现得像成年人一样。这意味着要专注于你总体的生活方向,尤其是自己的学习成绩。
W: For example…?
女:例如...?
M: Well, like you need to manage daily, weekly and monthly schedules, so that you study regularly. Be sure to attend all classes and leave enough time to finish your assignments and prepare well for examinations.
男:好吧,例如你需要管理每日、每周和每月的时间表,以便定期学习。确保参加所有课程,并留出足够的时间来完成作业并为考试做好准备。
W: Ok, and what else is different?
女:好的,还有什么不同?
M: Well, in college there are lots of distractions, and you need to control yourself. You will make interesting friends, but you need only keep the friends who respect your students’ commitments. Also, there are a lot of wonderful clubs, but you shouldn’t allocate too much time to club activities, unless they are directly related to your study. It’s also your choice if you want to go out at night, but you will be foolish to let that affect class performance during the day.
男:好吧,在大学里有很多分心的事情,你需要控制自己。你将结交有趣的朋友,但你只需要维持那些尊重学生责任的朋友。另外,这里有很多很棒的俱乐部,但你不应该为俱乐部活动分配太多时间,除非它们与你的学习直接相关。是否在晚上外出,这也是你需要作出的选择,但是让这影响白天的课堂表现是愚蠢的。
W: Well, I’m determined to do well at the university and I guess I’m going to have to grow up fast.
女:嗯,我决心在大学里好好表现,我想我必须快速成长。
