Harvard College students describe the school as a “dynamic universe” andan “amazing irresistible hell” that pushes them to the extremes of theirintellect and ability.
哈佛學(xué)院的學(xué)生們形容這所學(xué)校是一個(gè)“充滿活力的宇宙”，是一個(gè)“令人難以抗拒的地獄”，推動(dòng)他們發(fā)揮自己的智力和能力的極限。
Unsurprisingly, the legendarily “very difficult” school attracts some ofthe country’s most promising youth, who rise to the occasion in almost everyaspect of their life on campus, not just the classroom.
不出所料，這所傳說中“非常困難”的學(xué)校吸引了這個(gè)國家一些最有前途的年輕人，他們在校園生活的幾乎每個(gè)方面都能應(yīng)對，而不僅僅是在課堂上。
Much like the students, the professors at this “beautiful, fun, historic,and academically alive place” in Cambridge, Massachusetts, are among “thebrightest minds in the world,” and “the level of achievement is unbelievable.”
在馬薩諸塞州劍橋這個(gè)“美麗、有趣、歷史悠久、學(xué)術(shù)活躍的地方”，教授們和學(xué)生們一樣，都是“世界上最聰明的人”，“成就之高令人難以置信”。
Some of the larger introductory classes are taught by teaching fellows(TFs), meaning “you do have to go to office hours to get to know your biglecture class professors on a personal level,”.
一些較大的入門課程是由助教(TFs) 教授的，這意味著“你必須在辦公時(shí)間在個(gè)人層面去了解你的大課教授?！?。
Top it off with Grade-A internship and employment opportunities, a goodold alumni network, and a crimson pedigree（血統(tǒng)、家譜） for your résumé, and you may justend up agreeing with the Harvard student who refers to his experience as“rewarding beyond anything else I’ve ever done.”
再加上一流的實(shí)習(xí)和就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)，一個(gè)良好的老校友網(wǎng)絡(luò)，以及你的簡歷的深紅色血統(tǒng)，你可能最終會(huì)同意這位哈佛學(xué)生的看法，他說他在哈佛的經(jīng)歷“比我做過的任何事情都有價(jià)值”。
Cambridge and Boston are nothing if not college towns, and students neverlack for options if they just want to “go see a play, a concert, hit up aparty, go to the movies, or dine out.”
劍橋和波士頓是大學(xué)城，如果學(xué)生們只是想“去看戲劇、聽音樂會(huì)、參加派對、看電影或出去吃飯”，他們從不缺乏選擇。Students quickly learn when to hitthe books and when to hit the streets, so “studying becomes routine.”
學(xué)生們很快就學(xué)會(huì)了什么時(shí)候啃書本，什么時(shí)候上街，所以“學(xué)習(xí)成了例行公事”。
As one student puts it, “Boredom does not exist here. There are endlessopportunities and endless passionate people to do them with.”
正如一名學(xué)生所說:“這里不存在無聊。這里有無數(shù)的機(jī)會(huì)，也有無數(shù)充滿激情的人?！?/p>
“Basically, if you want to do it, Harvard either has it or has the moneyto give to you so you can start it.”
“基本上，如果你想做，哈佛要么有，要么有錢給你讓你開始做?！?/p>
