雙語閱讀：致大學新生的20條建議
面臨大學生活，即將要脫離父母管束的你是不是時常在心里竊喜?可面對陌生的城市、陌生的生活你又有些小恐懼?下面是yjbys網小編為童鞋們收集的20條建議，希望對大家有用!
As a freshman, the sense of being lost in a big new world was exciting, but at the same time I treasured every bit of advice I could get. Now that I'm a few years older, I thought I'd share some thoughts. More importantly, I went around and asked some of the most accomplished Penn students for what recommendations they'd give to freshmen.
作為大學新生，在大的新世界里迷失的感覺很刺激，但同時我也珍視得到的每一點建議。既然我年長幾歲，就想分享一些我的想法。更重要的是，我四處找了一些學業有成的賓夕法尼亞大學學生，讓他們給新生提出了一些建議。
1. College is about the people you meet. Value them above all else.
上大學就是跟人交往，要把他們看得比別的都重要。
2. Avoid eating alone. You should value this part of your day as a moment to talk to friends and meet new people.
不要獨自吃飯，你應該利用一天中吃飯的時間和朋友聊天并結交新朋友。
3. A romantic relationship is not a waste of time.
談戀愛并非浪費時間。
4. Your parents love and miss you. Indulge them with a call from time to time.
父母愛你也想你，偶爾給他們打打電話。
5. There are people willing to help you with anything. All you have to do is ask.
總是有人愿意給予你任何幫助，你需要做的就是尋求幫助。
6. You have two ears and one mouth, and that design happens to be intelligent.
你有兩只耳朵一張嘴，這個設計很明智。
7. Try to learn very different things. Some of the most confident and successful graduates are skilled in two seemingly polar subjects, like computer science and political science.
努力學習非常難的東西，一些最自信、最成功的畢業生都擅長選兩門對立學科，比如計算機和政治學。
8. Don't take advice from movies, magazines, or newspapers. Read good books, learn by doing, and come to your own conclusions.
不要從電影、雜志或報紙上獲取建議，你要讀好書，從實踐中學習并得出自己的結論。
9. Appreciate your summers and use them wisely. Travel to Japan, write a book, read, follow things that interest you.
感激你的暑假并有效利用之。去日本旅行、寫本書、讀讀書、做些你感興趣的事。
10. Protect your dreams. It's too easy to abandon something you care about because you're told it's not important.
保護好你的夢想，有人告訴你你在乎的事并不重要時你很容易會放棄。
11. Ask for forgiveness, not for permission.
請求原諒，而不要請求允許。
12. Your school is willing and eager to throw money at you in research grants.
學校很愿意為你提供研究經費。
13. If you don't get, it may very well be because you don't ask.
如果你沒有得到，很有可能是你沒有爭取。
14. If you're faced with a choice between locking yourself up and studying for an exam or doing something much more epic and memorable, choose epic.
如果你面臨一個選擇，是該把自己鎖起來備考還是該做些更有意義、更難忘的事，那么你還是選擇有意義的事吧。
15. Don't wait till senior year to do those things you want to do or become who you want to be.
不要等到大四再去做你想做的事或成為你想成為的人。
16. Don't miss your classes because of sleeping in, but nap religiously in the middle of the day.
不要因為睡過頭了就逃課，應該保證午睡。
17. Pick up a book for fun once in a while.
偶爾讀本書娛樂一下。
18. Get a bike. It'll make the campus so much smaller.
買個自行車，你會發現校園小了很多。
19. Find and protect the time of day when you're most productive.
找到一天之中效率最高的時間段并保持住。
20. Don't be complacent but be happy. Be thankful for where you are. Everything is already pretty great.
不要自滿，要開心，要感激你能在這里，一切都已經很好了。
雙語閱讀：十條建議讓你的大學生活不后悔
從高中升入大學，是一個巨大的飛躍，同時也是一個極大的挑戰。因為大學里強調的是自主學習，很多知識需要靠自己主動去獲取。這十條建議對你的大學生活很有幫助。
Here are 10 tips to help you create a productive and memorable college experience.
下面是關于如何建立一個有成效的、值得回憶的大學生活的十條小建議。
1. Answer the question, "Why am I going to college?" 回答問題：“我為什么要上大學？”
Many college students really don't have a clear reason for being there other than the fact that they don't know what else to do yet. They inherit goals from family and peers which aren't truly their own.
What are you there to learn? What do you want to experience?
很多大學生對于上大學都沒有明確的原因，除了一個事實——不知道還有其它的事可以做。他們的目標不是出于內心而是根植于家庭以及同伴。你在這里學什么？你想要經歷體驗什么？
2. Imagine your ideal college experience. 想象你的大學生活
Once you know why you're going to university, imagine your ideal outcome. Whether you've already started university or not, stop and simply write down some attributes of your ideal experience. Describe it in as much detail as you can. Real life will of course turn out differently than you visualize. The point of visualization is to give you more clarity for making decisions right now.
一旦明確了上大學的目的，就想象一下最完美的結局。無論你是否已經開始了你的大學生活，停會兒，把你的一些完美暢想的特點都簡單地寫下來。盡可能地描述詳細。真實的生活當然會不同于你的想象。但想象的關鍵在于可以幫助你現在更好地做決定。
3. Take at least one extra class each semester. 每學期至少要報一門選修課
The real benefit to a dense schedule isn't that you'll graduate sooner. The real benefit is that you'll enjoy a richer experience. This sort of thing sure looks great on a resume.
緊湊的學習計劃的真正好處不是你能很快畢業。真正的好處是你可以享受一個更豐富的經歷。而且這也會給你的簡歷錦上添花。
4. Set clear goals for each class. 每個課程都確立目標
Decide what you want out of each specific class. Sometimes you'll achieve your goals; sometimes you won't. Even if you do your best, you may still fall short. You'll have to pick your battles. Some are worth fighting; others are best ignored.
考慮決定好你想從每個課程里得到什么。有時你會達到你的目標，有時不會。盡管你盡力了，但你有可能仍然失敗。你要選擇你的戰場。有些值得戰斗，有些完全可以忽略。
5. Triage ruthlessly. 有所取舍
You don't need to put an equal amount of effort into every class. Inject extra effort when it's important to you, but feel free to back off a little from classes that are a low priority based on your specific goals.
你無須對每一個課程都付出同樣的努力。重要的課程可以多加把勁，但對于那些對你的目標無足輕重的課程可以松懈一點。
6. Get an early start to each day. 一天之計在于晨
Getting an early start each day helped you get a lot more done, not just in the morning but throughout the day.
每天早起對你益處很多，不僅僅是早晨而是一整天。
7. Reclaim wasted time during your classes. 充分利用課堂時間
Not every class is going to require your utmost concentration. Sometimes teachers babble. Sometimes they reiterate what you already know. If a class is really challenging, sit in the front and soak up every word. But if a class isn't challenging you, then sit in the back, do homework for other classes, and pop your head up every once in a while to see if there's anything worth jotting down.
不是每一節課都需要你全神貫注。有時老師只是在東扯西拉，有時只是在重復你已經知道的東西。如果這節課很有意思，那么坐在前面，仔細聽每一個字。如果很無聊，那么坐在后面完成其它學科的家庭作業吧。當然，每隔一會要抬頭聽聽是不是有什么值得記下來。
8. Learn material the very first time it's presented. 拒絕重復學習
One of the biggest time wasters in school is having to relearn something you didn't learn properly the first time. When students say they're studying, most of the time they're making up for a previous failure to learn the material.
學校里最大的一個時間浪費就是不斷重新學習你在第一次沒有完全掌握的東西。學生們說他們在學習時大部分的時間都是在重復以前的錯誤。
9. Master advanced memory techniques. 科學記憶
One of the keys to learning material the first time is to train yourself in advanced memory techniques. I don't recommend memorizing by repetition because it's way too slow.
學習的關鍵之一就是掌握科學的記憶方法。不推薦重復記憶，因為太沒有效率了。
10. Have some serious fun!
Challenge yourself academically, but give yourself plenty of time for fun as well. Don't squander your leisure time hanging around doing nothing.
學業上要努力，但也要給自己充足的娛樂時間。別在業余時間無所事事。
