摘要:每个人不会公开自己的成就和失败。别人在任何领域的成绩都只是自己的成绩。这和印度相比就不一样,在那里人们都会炫耀他们的财富,会告诉每个人自己的成就。
Q: What facts about the United States do foreigners not believe until they come to America?
问:有哪些事情是外国人没去美国之前不会相信的?
获得9.2k好评的答案@ Aniruddh Chaturvedi
Everyone is highly private about their accomplishments and failures. Someone's performance in any field is their performance alone. This is different compared to India where people flaunt their riches and share their accomplishments with everybody else.
每个人不会公开自己的成就和失败。别人在任何领域的成绩都只是自己的成绩。这和印度相比就不一样,在那里人们都会炫耀他们的财富,会告诉每个人自己的成就。
哪些事不去美国不知道
Rich people are thin/ well maintained, poor people are fat. This stems from the fact that cheap food is fatty, rich people don't eat cheap food — they tend to eat either home-cooked food which is expensive or eat at expensive / healthy places. Unfortunately, it is expensive to be healthy in America.
富人很瘦/保养很好,而穷人很胖。这个道理源于现实——因为廉价食品含油脂多,而富人不吃廉价食品——他们一般吃自己家里做的食品(这些食品很贵)或者在有高价健康食品的地方吃饭。不幸的是,在美国,健康是昂贵的。
Fat people are not respected much in society. Being fat often has the sameconnotations as being irresponsible towards your body. If you're thin (and tall, but not as much), people will respect you a lot more and treat you better. You will also receive better customer service if you're well maintained. This extends my previous point which mentioned that if you're thin, you're statistically likely to be rich. Reason why I know this is that I went down from being 210lbs to 148-150lbs. The way people started treating me when I was thin was generally way better than the way I was treated when I was fat. As a small example, the Starbucks baristas were much nicer to me and made me drinks with more care.
胖子在社会上不太受尊重,因为肥胖通常就暗示你对自己的身体不负责任。如果你很瘦(而且很高,但又不是特别瘦,特别高),人们就会更尊重你,对你更好。如果你保养得好,你就会受到更好地客户服务。这个道理就是我之前提到过的“如果你很瘦,那你一般来说就比较富裕”的延伸。我是在我从210磅减到148-150磅的时候明白这个道理的。我瘦的时候比我胖的时候受到的对待要好得多,举个简单的例子,星巴克里的咖啡员对我就比之前好得多,做饮料的时候也更用心。
Almost every single person in America has access to basic food, clothing, water and sanitation. I haven't been to states like Louisiana and cities like Detroit, but from what I can tell, nobody is scrambling for the basic necessities required for sustenance.
在美国,几乎每个人都能得到基本的食物、衣服、水和公共卫生。我还没去过路易斯安那之类的州以及底特律之类的城市,但是在我看来,没有人需要为了维持生计、为了基础的生活必需品拼死拼活。
Americans waste a lot of food. It is very easy to buy in bulk because it's so much cheaper and as a result a lot of wastage occurs.
美国人浪费了非常多的食物。因为太便宜所以大家都会大量购买,结果就是大量食物被浪费。
Obsession with coffee — Starbucks, Dunkin' etc is crowded with office-goers and students every morning. I don't understand why they can't drink or make coffee before leaving for work. Such a waste of money! ($5/day * 5days / week * 52weeks/year)!
对咖啡非常痴迷——每天早上星巴克和康恩都乐等店里都挤满了上班族和学生。我不明白他们为什么不在上班前去喝或者制作咖啡。太浪费钱了(5美元/天*5天/周*52周/年)!
Support towards the LGBT community — it's fairly normal to be part of the LGBT community; it's not considered a mortal sin if you like someone in your own gender or if you aren't comfortable being male/female/etc. Proof of this is the LGBT Pride Day held in every city.
对同性恋团体的支持——成为同性恋团体中的一员是很正常的事;如果你喜欢同性或者你觉得自己作为一个男人/女人哪里不对,都不会被认为是弥天大罪,证据就是每座城市都会举办LGBT骄傲日。

下面是读文网小编整理的你不可不知的信用卡安全知识,欢迎大家阅读。
Recently, I bought a jacket at Ralph Lauren inNew York City (an admittedly extravagant gift tomyself for finally finishing my first book). At checkout, the clerk asked me to fill out a contact form. “No thanks,” I said. “I don’t like to give out my email address.”
“We won’t spam you,” he said. “It’s just to notify you when new items become available.”
After I briefly explained how spam works, and that notifying me of the availability of new items notonly constitutes spam, but pretty much defines it, the clerk smiled politely and said “no problem.”As he went into the back to run my card, I noticed a second clerk standing nearby. He’d overheardour little back-and-forth and was smiling wryly to himself. Finally, he couldn’t hold it anymore. “You know they can get to you through your credit card anyway, right?”
This gave me pause. I did know that, didn’t I? I mean, if a business wants to spam me, they caneasily figure out my contact info from a purchase I’ve made. And that’s when a second, moreinsidious thought struck: If it’s that easy to spam someone after they use their credit card, how easywould it be to steal their identity?
When it comes to credit cards, there’s a whole universe of information out there, and much of itconsists of black holes. That is to say, most of us simply don’t know what we realistically should orshould not be concerned about. Sure, none of us want our identities stolen, our accounts hacked, ouremails spammed—but what exactly are the risks and what can we do to mitigate them?
Following are 8 essential security measures we should all be taking with respect to credit cards. Thesetips will help us avoid spammers and identity thieves alike.
People love to go online shopping whenever the mood strikes. Sometimes this means shopping on apublic computer or open WiFi network. This is extremely dangerous as these platforms are especiallyvulnerable. So here’s a neat little trick for you: Feel free to browse and comparison shop onlinewhen you’re on an open WiFi network, but don’t purchase anything. Wait until you’re on asecure server (your home computer) before making a purchase. This has the doubly-positive effect ofhelping to curb your impulse-buying habits! As for public computers, never enter credit cardinformation on them. Hackers often install malware onto public computers specifically targetingonline shoppers. Plus the computer’s cache can store your personal information, making it easierfor someone to steal it.

摘要:据英国文化委员会的调查数据显示,在2000年,全球有10亿左右的人正在学习英语。如今这个数字很可能有了更为显著的提高。
1. It is the only major language without an academy to guide it.
英语是唯一没有学术机构加以规正的大语种。
L’Académie française, based in Paris, is in charge of overseeing the French language. For Spanish there is the Real Academia Española. German has the Rat für deutsche Rechtschreibung. There is no equivalent to L’Académie for English. Of the 10 most-widely spoken languages in the world, only English has no academy guiding it.
法兰西文学院位于巴黎,负责审查法语。对于西班牙语,有西班牙皇家学院,德语有标准德语德语正字法协会。而英语则没有相应的文学院。世界十大使用最为广泛的口语中,唯有英语没有学术研究院引领。
2. More than 1 billion people are learning English as you read this.
九个你不知道的英语冷知识
你读这篇文章的时候,有超过10亿的人正在学英语。
According to the British Council, around 1 billion people around the world were learning English in 2000. This figure is now likely to be significantly higher.
据英国文化委员会的调查数据显示,在2000年,全球有10亿左右的人正在学习英语。如今这个数字很可能有了更为显著的提高。
3. 96 of the 100 most common English words are Germanic.
英语中100个最常用词中96个来自日耳曼语。
Of the hundred most frequently used words in English, 96 have Germanic roots. Together, those 100 words make up more than 50% of the Oxford English Corpus, which currently contains over 2 billion words found in writing around the world.
100个使用频率最高的英语词汇中,96个有日耳曼语词根。总的来说,牛津英语语料库词汇有超过一半由这100个词汇组成——目前涵盖世界各地书面语中超过20亿的词汇。
Surprised? The most frequently used words are the meat and bones of the language, the essentials that make communication work, including I, you, go, eat, and so on.
吃惊吗?使用频率最高的词汇是一门语言的骨架,这些要素让人们成功沟通,比如“我”、“你”、“去”、“吃”等等。
4. But most words that have entered the language since 1066 have Latin origins.
不过自1066年之后的大部分英语词汇都有拉丁词根。
The Renaissance, which started in Italy and reached England via France, was a massive source of new vocabulary. New ideas, or old ideas rediscovered, started flooding out of the southern cities but there were no words to describe them in English. So the language adopted or adapted the Latin words. During the Renaissance, the English lexicon roughly doubled in size.
起源于意大利,席卷法国再蔓延至英国的文艺复习带来了海量新词。新的点子也好,旧的想法也罢,被人们重新发现,不断从南部的意大利城市中奔涌而出,而英语中却没有相应词汇用以描述。于是英语就采用、改写了拉丁词汇。文艺复兴时期,英语的词汇几乎翻了一倍。
5. For more than a century, the English aristocracy couldn’t speak English.
有一个世纪多的时间,英国贵族不会说英语。
William the Conqueror tried to learn English at the age of 43 but gave up. Within 20 years of the Normans taking power in England, almost all of the local religious institutions were French-speaking. There is little to suggest that aristocrats themselves spoke English. It isn’t until the end of the 12th Century that we have evidence of the children of the English aristocracy with English as a first language.
英国国王威廉一世曾在43岁时尝试学习英语,但半途而废。诺曼人控制英国的20年里,大部分的地方宗教机构都说法语。鲜有证据显示英国的贵族自己会说英语。证据显示,直到12世纪末,才有英语贵族子女以英语为第一语言。
6.That is why Latin words sound more prestigious than Germanic ones.
这就是为什么拉丁词汇比日耳曼词汇听上去更高大上。
Think about the difference between a house (Germanic) and a mansion (French), or between starting something and commencing, between calling something kingly or regal. English has a huge number of close synonyms, where the major difference is the level of formality or prestige. The prestigious form is almost always the Latin one.
想想看"house"("房子",日耳曼词汇)与"mansion"("宅邸",法语词汇)的差异,及"starting(开始)"与"commencing(肇始)"的不同、“kingly(皇家气质)"与"regal(君威)"的区别。英语中有大量意思贴近的同义词,其主要差异在于其正式与高级程度。高级形式几乎都是拉丁词汇。
7. The concept of “correct” spelling is fairly recent.
“正确”拼写是相当新近的概念。
Shakespeare, for example, was liberal in his spellings of words, often using multiple variants within a single text; his name itself has been spelt in many different ways over the centuries.
例如莎士比亚,在拼写单词就非常随意,常在同一文本中使用数种变体;数世纪以来,其名字也有多种不同的拼法。
8. One man is largely responsible for the differences between American and British spelling.
美式英语和英式英语拼写上的差异很大程度上因一人而起。
Noah Webster, whose name you still find on the front of many American dictionaries, was a patriotic man. Between 1783 and 1785, he produced three books on the English language for American schoolchildren. During his lifetime, 385 editions of his Speller were published. The modern US spelling of color was initially spelt in the British way, colour, but this changed in later editions.
在美国的许多词典封面上你还能找到一个人的名字,一位富有爱国心的美国人——诺亚·韦伯斯特。在1783至1785年间,韦伯斯特为美国的学龄儿童创作了三本关于英语的书籍。韦伯斯特一生中,其拼写教材出了385版。现代美式英语中“color(颜色)”一词起初是英式的拼写方式,但在后来的版本中,这些词的拼写方式发生了变化。
9. -ize is not an American suffix-ize.
并不是美式英语中的后缀。
There is a popular belief that words such as popularise/ize, maximise/ize and digitise/ize have different spellings in British and American English.
人们普遍认为,popularise/ize(普及)、maximise/ize(最大化)、digitise/ize(数字化)等词在英式英语和美式英语中拼写方式不同。
Look at that z – isn’t it snazzy? It’s got to be American, hasn’t it?
看看这个Z——不是很时髦吗?它一定是美式英语,不是吗?

外国人最烦美国人哪一点?下面跟着小编一起来看一下吧。
What do foreigners find most annoying about Americans?
外国人最烦美国人哪一点?
获得281好评的答案@Erin Paige Law
As an Australian who has travelled quite a bit and been part of many different expatcommunities, I find that Americans more than people from other countries do this one particular thing that annoys me.
我是个澳大利亚人,旅行过很多地方,也去过很多各种各样的外籍人士社区,然后我发现跟其他国家的人比起来美国人有一点特别讨厌。
外国人最烦美国人哪一点
When I am speaking, really about anything, just in general conversation, I hate being interrupted so that someone can impersonate my accent to me.
当我在说话的时候,不管我再说什么,就算只是一场普通的谈话,我也很讨厌别人插嘴打断我然后去模仿我的发音。
This is how it goes:
事情是这样的:
Me: "...so then I'd probably add just a little butter..."
我:“接下来我想加一点黄油······”
American: "Buttah! Buttah...you say Buttah. Australian accents are so funny!"
美国人:“黄优!你居然说黄优!澳洲口音真是太搞笑了!”
Me: "Uh yeah, so as I was saying..."
我:“呃,我是说······”
So I have a different accent. I get that. But people not from Australia have a very different accent from me. I don't stop them midway through a conversation to repeat back to them what they said because, well, it's just rude.
我知道我口音跟美国人不一样,但是还有很多外国人口音也跟我不一样,我就不会中途打断他们说话然后去模仿他们说话,这样太无礼了。
获得168好评的答案@Makiko Itoh
Disclaimer: I love the U S of A. I spent some of the best years of my life there. I love most Americans that I have met (except for the jackasses).
我要先说清楚:我很喜欢美国,我在这里度过了我生命中最美好的时光,我喜欢我遇到的大部分美国人(除了某些蠢货)。
So...this is not exactly an annoyance. But one thing I notice about some (many?) Americans that I don't see that much elsewhere is, they are eating or drinking something all the time. Like, if they go to the movies they're munching on a huge bucket of popcorn or sipping on a bucket of soda through the entire movie. If they're walking down the street they have a Starbucks latte or a Snapple bottle or something in one hand and a phone in the other. Or they are chewing gum. They eat in the car all the time too. The excuse I've heard for this is it's because Americans are so busy all the time that they have to eat on the run anywhere they can. But still...aren't people in other countries busy too? It's a bit of a puzzle.
呃······其实也不是很讨厌,但是我注意到有一些(很多?)美国人无时不刻都在吃东西,我在其他地方都没见过这样的。比如说,如果他们去看电影的话,他们会津津有味地咀嚼一大桶爆米花或者狂喝一大桶苏打水;如果他们走在街边,必定会一只手端着星巴克拿铁或者斯奈普果汁或者其他什么东西,然后另一只手拿着手机。或是他们还会嚼口香糖。他们就连在车里也一直吃吃吃。他们告诉我这是因为美国人太忙了所以只能尽可能就地吃点东西。但还是······难道其他国家的人就不忙吗?我真搞不懂他们。

I get worried about Americans' response if I criticize something about the US. Europeans and Asians are used to criticism from outsiders more due to multicultural geography and not take that criticism as hate. Every now and then, when I criticize something about the US online, even when I'm very careful with my words to not offend anyone, I still receive some responses like, "First look at your own country!", "You're not from here, you have no right to say anything." "Foreigners hate America."
当我在评论美国某些方面的时候很担心美国人对此的反应。大概是因为地域多样性吧,欧洲人和亚洲人都很习惯接受来自外界的评论,起码他们不会认为这些评论带有恶意。我经常遇到这种情况,当我在网上评论美国某些方面时,就算我已经很控制自己的语言不带有冒犯意味,我还是会收到这样的评论:“先看看你自己的国家再来说我们!”、“你不是本地人,你没资格说任何话。”、“你们这些外国人就是讨厌美国。”

Americans have a lot of behaviors that while not being actually bad things, seem rude to foreigners.
美国人的有些行为并非怀有恶意,但是对外国人来说好像很失礼。
Americans are loud.
美国人太吵了。
It seems to be the norm here in the US, so you don't notice it a lot, but in other countries where people speak "normally", it sounds very rude/uneducated.
在美国有些地方似乎没有明确规定要保持安静,所以你们就不太注意这点,但是在其他国家如果大家都以“正常音量”说话,美国人的大嗓门听起来就非常粗鲁,或者说没教养。
Especially in restaurants, where all the locals speak softly and politely to each other, and a group of people is like "OH MY GAWD, THIS FOOD IS SO GOOD, BWAHAHAHA, THAT'S THE SH*T DUDE!"
特别是在餐馆里面,所有本地人交谈的时候都很温柔礼貌,但是有一群人是这样讲话的:“哦!!我的天!!这太好吃了!!哇啊啊啊啊!!!!太特么美味了!!!”
Everyone else in the restaurant is immediately thinking "Rude Americans".
餐馆里的其他人就会立刻反应过来:“是野蛮的美国人。”

下面是读文网小编整理的在美国生活不可不知的风俗习惯,欢迎大家阅读!
来美初期,紧张兴奋是在所难免,而且往往会求好心切,希望能赶快融进美国社会,但别忘了自己来自他国,国情文化有很大差异,若有任何不顺利,不需要觉得特别沮丧。不耻下问可以为你解决文化差异的障碍,多看多听多开囗,敞开胸怀,以独立自主积极主动的处事态度去克服初期的挑战。退却,或依赖同学会或学长都只会使自己更无法学习到在异乡解决问题的方法,既然有飘洋过海的勇气,就应该有接受挑战的志气。结交外国朋友,增广见闻,提升英文程度。独立解决问题的机会愈多,英文进步也就愈快。大部分老美都很热心,也很体谅语言沟通不畅的处境,若能以恳切的态度向他们请教,他们很少会当面拒绝。「Excuse me!」 是一句很好用的开场白,尤其是老先生、老太太会乐意告诉你他们的经验及告诉你正确的用法,因为这会重建他们贡献人群的信心。此外,日常生活中遇有委屈,特别是银行、信用卡公司寄来的对帐单有误时,千万别隐忍下来。美国是个权利义务分明、顾客至上的社会,你应尽速表达你的不悦,并修正他们的错误,才不致造成损失又换来一肚子气。
美国人一般性情开朗、乐于交际、不拘礼节。第一次见面不一定行握手礼,有时只是笑一笑,说一声“Hi”或“Hello”就算有礼了。握手的时候习惯握得紧,眼要正视对方,微弓身,认为这样才算是礼貌的举止。一般同女人握手美国人都喜欢斯文。在告别的时候,也只是向大家挥挥手或者说声“再见”、“明天见”。但如果别人向他们致礼,他们也用相应的礼节,比如握手、点头、拥抱、行注目礼等。在美国如果有客人夜间来访,主人穿着睡衣接待客人被认为是不礼貌的行为;当被邀请去老朋友家做客时,应该预备小礼物;在朋友家做客时,打长途电话要经过主人同意,离开的时候,要留下电话费.
在美国,如果要登门拜访,必须先打电话约好;名片一般不送给别人,只是在双方想保持联系时才送;当着美国人的面想抽烟,必须问对方是否介意,不能随心所欲。
在美国,如果要登门拜访,必须先打电话约好;名片一般不送给别人,只是在双方想保持联系时才送;当着美国人的面想抽烟,必须问对方是否介意,不能随心所欲。
一般乐于在自己家里宴请客人,而不习惯在餐馆请客。不喜欢清蒸和红烩菜肴。不喜欢过烫过热的菜肴,喜欢少盐味,味道忌咸,稍以偏甜为好。喜欢喝可口可乐、啤酒、冰水、矿泉水、威士忌、白兰地等。不喜欢人在自己的餐碟里剩食物,认为这是不礼貌的。喜爱中国的苏菜、川菜、粤菜。
昵爱白色,认为白色是纯洁的象征;偏爱黄色,认为是和谐的象征;喜欢蓝色和红色,认为是吉祥如意的象征。喜欢白猫,认为白猫可以给人带来运气。
美国人对握手时目视其它地方很反感。认为这是傲慢和不礼貌的表示。忌讳向妇女赠送香水、衣物和化妆用品。美国妇女因有化妆的习惯,所以他们不欢迎服务人员送香巾擦脸。
在美国千万不要把黑人称作“Negro”,最好用“Black”一词,黑人对这个称呼会坦然接受。因为Negro主要是指从非洲贩卖到美国为奴的黑人。跟白人交谈如此,跟黑人交谈更要如此。否则,黑人会感到弥对他的蔑视。
忌讳别人冲他伸舌头。认为这种举止是污辱人的动作。他们讨厌蝙蝠,认为它是吸血鬼和凶神的象征。忌讳数字“13”、“星期五”等日。忌讳问个人收入和财产情况,忌讳问妇女婚否、年龄以及服饰价格等私事。忌讳黑色。认为黑色是肃穆的象征,是丧葬用的色彩。特别忌讳赠礼带有你公司标志的便宜礼物。因为这有义务做广告的嫌疑。

真实美国生活到底怎么样的呢?下面是读文网小编整理的美国生活不可不知的细节,欢迎大家阅读!
1.没买东西也可以大方地走出去,他们会说thanks for coming,see you。
2.如果在一件商品前停留时间过长,售货员会问你how's everything going on?我一般回答I'm fine thank you。
3.学校里黑人有的看起来很屌,有的很内向[表面很酷],其实很好相处。正式叫法都用African American。我在中国学校学的也是这个,但一般都叫他们black(当然是认识以后),negro是禁止的。
4.美国学校都用locker,如果你选了体育课你会有两个locker,只欢迎保险柜上那种锁,就是左转右转那种。
5.洗手间里的马桶叫toilet。家里的洗手间叫bathroom。外面的洗手间叫restroom。
6.吃饭要给小费,一般给消费数额的10%--15% ,快餐厅不给小费
7.商店售货员态度都特别好,第一句话是how are you today,这时应该很自然地回答good,她会说nice,然后说if there is any problem please let me know。买东西结账之后要和他们说have a nice day,也许他们说在你前头,那就说thank you,you too吧。
8.在美国刷卡或者用旅行支票要带ID CARD。
9.YES PLEASE .NO THANK YOU。这两个是配对的。我经常用混,是不对的.
10.红宝书或者各种词汇书是没用的。日常用语才是关键。[解释一百八十遍我说的词汇书没用指日常生活。]
11.所有卫生间里都有一次性马桶纸和厕纸。
12.日常用品极其便宜。
13.白人很开放,韩国人很开放,黑人很热情
14.要热情地告诉所有人中国怎么样,因为他们什么都不知道。
15.别把校长看的太重要。这边校长就跟普通教职工一样。很和谐。

摘要:这所位于伊州中部的大学的学生并不仅仅是埋头苦读,他们同样热衷于派对。《普林斯顿评论》(The Princeton Review)3日宣布,该校在这本大学指南的年度派对大学排行榜中高居榜首。
he University of Illinois stakes claim to 23 Nobel Prize winnersand tech prowess that contributed to the creation of YouTube,Netscape, Java and Yelp.
伊利诺伊大学(University of Illinois)共有23名校友获得诺贝尔奖,该校培养的科技精英们造就了YouTube、Netscape、Java和Yelp公司。
美国大学派对哪家强
But students at the central Illinois campus don’t just bury theirheads in books, they also party — so much so that they’ve earned the top spot on The PrincetonReview’s annual list of top party schools in the U.S., the college guide said Monday.
但这所位于伊州中部的大学的学生并不仅仅是埋头苦读,他们同样热衷于派对。《普林斯顿评论》(The Princeton Review)3日宣布,该校在这本大学指南的年度派对大学排行榜中高居榜首。
“Drinking culture is huge here,” according to an unnamed student in the Princeton Review’s 2016edition of the “The Best 380 Colleges.” The university has about 31,000 undergraduate students.
在《普林斯顿评论》2016年版“最好的380所大学(The Best 380 Colleges)”中,一名不愿提及姓名的学生说道,“这里饮酒文化氛围很浓厚”。该校现有大约31000名本科在校生。
University spokeswoman Robin Kaler was bothered by the No. 1 ranking — a first for the campus,which has been among the list’s top five for years — and said it painted students in a false light.
伊利诺伊大学女发言人罗宾•卡勒(Robin Kaler)很为这个第一名感到烦恼,该校近些年来一直跻身该榜单前五,这还是第一次高居榜首。她说这个排名扭曲了该校学生的形象。
“They are serious, they are hard-working, and to try to present them as being somehowirresponsible is insulting,” she said Monday.
她3日表示:“他们严肃认真、勤勉刻苦,试图将他们刻画为不负责任的人的行为是对他们的侮辱。”
The largest of the parties is an annual day of drinking called Unofficial, a St. Patrick’s Daycelebration that was started by a local bar. The event included fatal accidents in 2001 and 2006.The university tries every year to keep the event under control, often beefing up police presenceand, two years ago, even asking parents to help them tone down the partying.
伊利诺伊大学最大的派对要属每年的饮酒日,被称作Unofficial,这个派对由当地的一家酒吧为庆祝圣帕特里克节(St. Patrick’s Day)而发起。该活动在2001年和2006年都曾酿成致命事故。校方每年都试图控制活动的局面,经常增加现场的警力,两年前甚至呼吁学生家长帮助他们令派对收敛一些。
The Princeton Review’s publisher says the collection of lists is meant to paint a picture of life oncampus at the schools it reviews, using students’ answers to a long series of questions aboutstudent life to create profiles, as well as lists for things such as partying, dorm life, sports, politicalpersuasions and more.
《普林斯顿评论》出版商则说,这一系列排行榜意在通过学生的反馈来描绘上榜学校的校园生活。学生们回答了一长串有关学生生活的问题来创建资料以及包括派对、宿舍生活、运动、政治派别等方面的榜单。
“We have such a high regard for each of the 380 schools,” said publisher Robert Franek, whosereview is not affiliated with Princeton University. “The University of Illinois, it is an exceptionalschool.”
《普林斯顿评论》与普林斯顿大学(Princeton University)并无关联。其出版商罗伯特•弗兰尼克(Robert Franek)表示:“我们非常敬重这380所大学,伊利诺伊大学是极为优秀的学校。”
For those who don’t imbibe, the top stone-cold sober school is Brigham Young University(BYU), the private Utah school affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.Tops for most religious students? That’s BYU, too.
对于那些不饮酒的学生来说,最滴酒不沾的学校是杨百翰大学(Brigham YoungUniversity,BYU)。这所位于犹他州(Utah)的私立大学隶属于耶稣基督后期圣徒教会(Churchof Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints)。对于最为虔诚的教徒来说首选的大学?还是杨百翰大学。
Looking for the best campus food? Try the small, exclusive Bowdoin College in Maine.
哪所大学食堂最好吃?你可以试试缅因州(Maine)规模精小、录取严格的鲍登学院(BowdoinCollege)。
Most satisfied students? Claremont McKenna University, under what one student told the reviewwas “the constantly beaming California sun.”
哪所学校学生满意度最高?克莱蒙麦肯纳学院(Claremont McKenna University)。有位在校生对《普林斯顿评论》提到自己最满意的是“时常沐浴在加利福尼亚灿烂的阳光里”。
Want a job? Go to Clemson University in South Carolina, where students say they’re instantly partof a worldwide network.
想要找工作?那就要去南卡罗来纳州(South Carolina)的克莱姆森大学(Clemson University)就读吧,那里的学生说他们一入校就已经融入全球网络。
The party rankings, like most parties themselves, change over time. The University of Iowa is aformer No. 1, but came in at No. 2 this year.
派对排行榜,正如大多派对本身,都会随着时间不停地变化。曾经问鼎榜首的爱荷华大学(University of Iowa)今年位居第二。
Freshmen due in Iowa City this month will find dozens of bars downtown and many house partiesawaiting them. But the city has also made it harder for those under 21 to get into bars, and policeofficers will be patrolling neighborhoods to break up rowdy parties.
即将在本月到爱荷华市(Iowa City)报到的新生会发现市中心有几十个酒吧,还有诸多室内派对等着他们的到来。但同时该城也做出更加严格的规定,严禁21岁以下青少年进入酒吧,警察也会去街区巡逻解散那些嘈杂的派对。
Rounding out the top five party schools are, in order: The University of Wisconsin-Madison,Bucknell University in Pennsylvania and last year’s No. 1, Syracuse University in New York.
其他排在前五名的派对学校依次是:威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校(University of Wisconsin-Madison),宾夕法尼亚州的巴克内尔大学(Bucknell University)以及去年的第一名纽约的雪城大学(Syracuse University)。
