时差N小时 如何在大学里取得成功(1)

The letter has finally arrived welcoming you as a member of the class. You're about to become a college freshman¹.

欢迎你成为新生一员的厚厚的信终于到了，你将成为大一新生了。

Half of college education has to come from the student. But how? College counselors², faculty³ advisers⁴ and one very successful student offer the following tips on how to get the most out of your college education.

大部分学生上大学都期望离校时获得学士学位，但怎样做到这点呢？一些高校辅导员、指导教师以及一名极为成功的学生，对如何充分利用高校教育提出了以下建议。

Involvement

积极参与

The most successful students are those actively⁵ involved in their education, interacting with classmates and faculty and participating in activities. You become part of the college community, developing support groups that you can turn to for help. Get involved, but not over committed. In the first term, focus on adjusting to the academic demand.

最成功的学生是那些积极参与自己所受教育的学生。他们与同学和教师交流，参加各项活动。你要成为学校集体的一份子，发展自己可以寻求帮助的团体。参与，但不过分投入。在第一学期，着重于使自己适应大学的学业要求。

Time management

时间安排

“Man is first social animal, then a rational one.” Says a professor at purdue university. So you may find it hard to say”no” each time your roommate wants to see a movie when you need to read paradise lost.

“人首先是一种社会性动物，然后才是有理性的人，”普渡大学的一位教授说。因此，每当你的室友想要看电影而你却很想读《失乐园》时，你都很难对他说“不”。

College is known for its distractions⁶. In those first months, you'll meet people whose values and priorities are different from yours.

大学素有各种娱乐活动。在最初几个月，你会遇到很多人，他们的价值观以及优先考虑的事与你不同。
