Harvard's online Freeze College magazine holds a beauty pageant for newly enrolled male students every year.
哈佛校园网络杂志“冰冻校园”每年都要举办一次哈佛新入校男生的“选美大会”。
Being Mr. Harvard Freshman is really a tough job: in addition to looks, the winner needs to have a sense of humor and an outgoing, charismatic personality. But before all that, he has to undergo a rather grueling competition to win the title.
由于代表着新一届学生的风采,“哈佛男生”的遴选标准近乎苛刻——除了外形出众、幽默、机智和富有人格魅力外,还要经历层层考验。
Out of over 700 freshmen from all over the world, 80 are chosen to take part in the contest. A second vote by students picks 30 to go on to the next round. Only 13 can make it to the final, in which they undergo a strict exam. After that, online voters select their favorite man, and a Mr Harvard Freshman emerges.
首先是海选,从700多名来自世界各地的哈佛新生中公开投票选出80名入围选手,然后再由全校学生网络公投,选出30名进入半决赛,一番PK后留下13名男生,在接受各方面人士的严格考核和网络投票后,最终诞生一位“哈佛男生”。
This genuinely fair procedure means that Mr. Harvard Freshman deserves his legend, "the star of Harvard".
整个选举过程遵循真实、公平的原则,可以说,最终夺冠的这位“哈佛男生”绝对是实至名归的“哈佛之星”。
