時差N小時:如何在大學里取得成功(2)

The newness of the situation and the range of decisions you'll face could leave you confused.Think about what you want from college and from friends. Study after breakfast, betweenclasses, whatever works best for you. Don't cut off all social contacts. They're as vital tosurviving in college as reading. Study Hegel first, then catch a late movie.

新的環(huán)境和你將做出的諸多決定會令你不知所措?？紤]一下你想從學校和朋友那兒得到些什么。早飯后或課間你最需要的東西是什么。不要斷絕一切社會交往。在大學里生活，社交同讀書一樣重要，你可以先看會兒黑格爾哲學，然后再趕去看晚場電影。

Study methods

學習方法。

Would you take a trip by stopping for directions at every station instead of reading a map? Ofcourse not. Studying in college demands more reading and thinking, less memorization than inhigh school. Survey the material first to get a sense of it: formulate some questions. Jot downkey ideas, tell yourself the essence of what you're read and review it. Does it make sense?Were your questions answered?

你去旅行會不會不看地圖，而在每一站都停下來問方向呢?當然不會。大學學習要求比中學更多的閱讀和思考，較少的死記硬背。首先要瀏覽材料以了解大概：提出一些問題，記下重要思想，自述你所讀內(nèi)容的要旨并加以復習。講得有道理嗎?你提出的問題解決了嗎?

The major choice

專業(yè)選擇。

It is quite appropriate to view college as a broadening experience, a preparation for life.Indeed, many college students do not select their ultimate career path until after theygraduate. So take occupational course if you like, but don't feel complled to mold your majorto the market.

把大學生涯看作拓寬經(jīng)驗的機會及對生活的準備是相當恰當?shù)?。實際上，許多大學生直到畢業(yè)后才選擇最終職業(yè)。所以如果你樂意，你可以學與職業(yè)有關的課程，但不要強迫自己為適應市場而選擇專業(yè)。
