M: You are heading for a completely different world, now that you are about to graduate from high school.
男:现在你就要高中毕业了,你正在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:我知道高中就要结束了,但是很多同学都在上同一所大学,我们仍然需要努力学习。有什么区别呢?
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(自律)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:大学的很多方面都不一样。最重要的是你必须对自己的行为承担更多的个人责任。你在学习上投入多少努力取决于你自己的自律。住在大学宿舍里,没有父母告诉你要更加努力学习,不要再浪费时间。讲座有数百名学生,如果你错过了讲座,他们不会跟进你的情况或质问你什么。
W: Nobody cares ,you mean?
W:你是说,没有人在意我?
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:不是没有人关心你,只是在大学里你突然被要求表现得像个成年人。这意味着你要专注于你的人生方向,尤其是你自己的学业表现。
W: For example ?
女:比如说?
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(作业) and prepare well for examinations.
男:嗯,你需要管理每日、每周和每月的计划,这样你才能有规律地学习。务必参加所有的课程,并留出足够的时间来完成作业,为考试做好准备。
W: Ok, and what else is different?
女:好的,还有什么不同之处吗?
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(承诺). 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:嗯,大学里有很多让你分心的事情,你需要控制自己。你会交到有趣的朋友,但你只需要那些尊重你学生承诺的朋友。此外,有很多很棒的俱乐部,但是你不应该分配太多的时间到俱乐部活动,除非它们与你的学习直接相关。如果你想在晚上出去,这也是你的选择,但要是影响到你白天的课堂表现就太傻了。
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,我想我得快点长大了。
