篇一、如何描述大学生活?

①One image comes to mind when college students describe their days: pinball. ②Students bounce back and forth to class, dining hall, dorm, meetings, library, sports, etc. all day long. ③They may get up early and stay up late to get it all done. ④It takes some getting used to, but busy as they are, most college students come to appreciate the freedom they have to manage their own time.

当谈到大学生活的时候,我们脑海中会浮现出一幅画面:弹球。学生们整天往返于教室、餐厅、宿舍、会议室、图书馆、体育场等等。为了完成任务,他们可能会起早贪黑。这需要一段时间来适应,但尽管他们很忙,他们大都喜欢能自由自在地管理自己的时间。

这段话描述了大学生忙碌但自由的情形。我们看一下解析: ①One image comes to mind when college students describe their days: pinball.

首句作者用了一个词来比喻大学生的忙碌生活:pinball. Pinball是十多年前非常火的一款游戏,中文名叫“(桌上)弹球”,和蜘蛛纸牌、扫雷齐名(暴露年龄了):

在游戏界面中,弹球触碰到机关、墙壁会反弹,而你要做的就是控制好下方的两个“虎牙”,不让球掉下来。

在这里,作者借用弹球弹来弹去的特点,比喻大学生们忙碌奔波的生活,形象而又贴切。

One image comes to mind when是一个很好的写作模板,它的意思是“当...的时候,脑海中浮现出一幅画面”。

我们也可以换种表达方式:

One image/word springs to mind when...

Spring本意指“春天、泉水”,此处作动词,表示“突然出现”,

有一种春天的生机蓬勃和泉水的灵动,比come to更有表达力度。

或者用cross一词代替:

One image/word crosses my mind when...

这三个句型都可以用在图表类、漫画类写作的开头,比如: One word / idea comes to / springs to / crosses my mind at the glance of the picture above: ...

当我看到上面的图片时,脑海中浮现出一个词/一个想法:…… ②Students bounce back and forth to class, dining hall, dorm, meetings, library, sports, etc. all day long.

bounce是“弹、跳”的意思,呼应上文的pinball.

back and forth指“来来回回的”,比如现在很多上班族往返于家和公司两点一线,我们就可以说:

Workers commute back and forth between their home and their workplace.

所以,文中的意思是:学生往返于教室、餐厅、宿舍...

④It takes some getting used to, but busy as they are, most college students come to appreciate the freedom (they have) to manage their own time.

It takes some getting used to是个省略句,补充完整了是:It takes some (time) getting used to (it).

get used to sth指“习惯某事”,相当于be accustomed to(这两处的to都是介词)。

第二个it指 大学生忙碌的生活:bounce back and forth、get up early and stay up late.

busy as they are涉及一个语法知识:

在as/though引导的让步状语从句中,我们一般把形容词或名词置于句首。结构为“adj./n.+as/though+主语+be”,举两个例子:

Tired as he is, he offers to help me. 尽管他很累,但他还是提出要帮助我。 Student as he is, he does not study hard.

虽然他是个学生,却不努力学习。

所以,文中busy as they are可以理解为:as they are busy 尽管他们很忙。

the freedom (they have) to manage their own time中,they have是freedom的定语从句,写成普通句子的形式是:

They have the freedom to manage their own time. 他们能自由地管理自己的时间。 篇二、想家、各种不适应

Getting Over the First Semester Blues

It typically takes a semester or quarter to hit your stride. Looking back on those early days you may very well shake your head and wonder what all the fuss was about. You might even feel a little nostalgic! A few students, however, may feel overwhelmed and homesick for a while. They may miss their parents, friends, even the family dog. They may find that going to college is not quite what they expected.

克服第一个学期的忧郁情绪

通常需要一个学期或半个学期才能进入状态。回顾刚进入大学的时候,你可能会摇着头,觉得那些都是无谓纷扰。你甚至会有点怀念!然而,一些学生可能会茫然无措、思念故乡。他们可能会怀念父母、朋友,甚至家里的狗。他们可能会发现大学不是自己所期望的那样。

标题中,get over指“克服”,相当于overcome,后面一般加problem之类的词。

blue在这里是个熟词僻义,它本意是“蓝色的”,这里指“忧郁的,难过的”,相当于sad, depressed,我们平时说的“蓝调”,取的就是这层意思。

同时,blue和下文的nostalgic, homesick相互照应,nostalgic的读音:[nɔ'stældʒik],表示“思乡的,怀旧的”,和homesick是一对同义词。

我们再来看一个词组:hit one's stride,这是一个美式英语表达,

意思是to become familiar with and confident at something you have recently started doing“逐渐适应,逐渐进入状态”。而英国人一般会说:get into your stride.

overwhelm是一个很好用的单词,它有很多意思,但都跟too much有关,比如,修饰emotion时,表示“充满(某种情绪),难以抑制,无法把持”,举个例子:

She was overwhelmed by feelings of guilt. 她感到愧疚难当。

当修饰work/problem时,则表示“使应接不暇,压垮”,比如: We were overwhelmed by the number of applications. 申请书多得让我们应接不暇。

所以,文中A few students, however, may feel overwhelmed可以理解为:然而,一些学生可能会感到压力山大。

篇三、社交

One of the big benefits of college is meeting new kinds of people, so going outside your comfort zone might surprise you. If you are a gamester whiz, maybe a rock climbing class will open up a whole world for you.

上大学的好处就是结识新朋友,所以,走出自己的舒适区——这可能会让你大吃一惊。如果你是一个游戏大神,也许一门攀岩课会为你打开一个新世界。

The important thing is to take that first step. Don't hole up in your room. Cut back on solitary amusements, such as computer games. Introduce yourself. Invite new friends out. Even something as simple as wearing a friendly face can get the ball rolling.

最重要的就是迈出第一步。不要宅在宿舍里,减少独自娱乐(比如电子游戏)的时间。介绍你自己,邀请新朋友出去玩。甚至一些简单的事情,比如露出善意的微笑,也可以开启一段友谊。

a gamester whiz中,\"-ster\"是表示“一类人”的名词后缀,比

如:gangster 犯罪团伙成员,youngster年轻人,所以,文中gamester是“游戏玩家、运动员”的意思。

whiz是一个比较口语化的表达,在这里指“能手,专家”,所以,a gamester whiz就是我们平时所说的“游戏大神”。

open up a whole world for sb的意思是“为某人开启了一个新世界”,写作中遇到跟挑战、机遇、创新有关的,都可以用这个表达。

hole up in your room就是我们常说的“宅”。 Hole up本来指动物“蛰居在洞中”,比如“冬眠”我们就可以说:hole up in winter 在冬天里蛰居。文中用来表示大学生的“宅”,形象生动。

此外,我们也可以用\"lead a battery hen existence\"来表示“宅”,这个表达曾出现在《卫报》中,讲的是当代青少年喜欢宅在家里打游戏,原话是这么说的:

In this age of screens and social media, children are spending less time playing outside and more online, with many leading a \"battery hen existence\".

lead/live a ... life/existence表示“过着...样的生活”;battery最常见的意思是“电池”,此外还有“鸡舍”的意思,所以,lead a \"battery hen existence\"就是“过着鸡舍母鸡般的生活”,也就是“宅在家里”的意思,我们看张图感受一下:

就像母鸡天天呆在鸡笼寸步不出一样,青少年天天宅在家里/宿舍里打游戏。

Cut back on solitary amusements中,cut back表示reduce的方向,后面加介词on再加名词,比如,cut back on defence spending 削减国防开支。

solitary是alone的意思,表示“单独的,独自的”,比如solitary walks by the river独自沿着河岸散步,live a solitary life 过着独居生活,文中\"solitary amusements\"可以理解为“自娱自乐”。
