Your College Years
你的大学生活

Have you ever considered the changes that are taking place and will take place in your life as a college student? Has it ever occurred to you that your professors and other school personnel have certain goals for your growth and maturity during your college years? Has it ever dawned on you that certain developmental changes will occur in your life as you move from adolescence to young adulthood? Though college students seldom think about them, key changes will probably happen to them during their college years.
作为一个大学生，你可曾考虑过那些你生活中正在发生以及将要发生的变化吗？你可曾想到过，你的教授们和其他教职员工为你的成长和发展曾经制定了某些目标？你可曾意识到，从青春期到渐渐成熟的过程中，你会经历某些特定的发展变化？尽管大学生很少思考以上问题，但是在大学期间，一些重要的变化很有可能发生在他们身上。
During this time, students are going through an identity crisis and are endeavoring to find out who they are and what their strengths and weaknesses are. They have, of course, plenty of both. It is important to know how people perceive themselves as well as how other people perceive them. According to Piers and Landau, in an article discussing the theories of Erik H. Erikson in International Encyclopedia of Social Sciences (1979), identity is determined by genetic endowment (what is inherited from parents), shaped by environment, and influenced by chance events. People are influenced by their environment and, in turn, influence their environment. How people see themselves in both roles is unquestionably a part of their identity.
大学期间，学生们正经历着自我认同危机，而且他们正在竭力了解自己，以及自己的优点和不足。当然，他们的优点和不足之处都很多。重要的是要了解人们如何看待自己，以及其他人又如何看待他们。皮尔斯和兰多曾在一篇文章中探讨了艾瑞克·H.埃里克松在《国际社会科学百科全书》（1979）中的有关理论。根据他们的观点，自我认同取决于遗传基因（继承自父母），由环境塑造，并且受偶然事件的影响。人们受环境影响，反过来又影响他们周围的环境。人们如何看待自己在以上两个方面所扮演的角色，毫无疑问是他们自我心理认同的一部分。
While students are going through an identity crisis, they are becoming independent from their parents yet are probably still very dependent on them. This independence/dependence struggle is very much a part of the later adolescence stage.
在学生们经历自我认同危机的同时，也开始摆脱自己的父母，渐渐独立。然而，他们仍然非常依赖父母。这种独立与依赖之间的矛盾其实是青春期后期的一部分。
