Student organizations at Harvard can fall into more than ten categories. In addition to the organizations that are aimed at all the students, such as The Harvard Crimson and International Relations Council (IRC), there are organizations that serve students from a specific area or country. For example, there are many organizations that are founded by Chinese students and whose purposes are to help Chinese students and to promote Chinese culture.
哈佛大學的學生社團有十余種。除了像“哈佛深紅”和國際關系理事會這些針對 所有學生的社團外，還有一些社團服務于來自某一特定區域或國家的學生。例如，有 很多中國學生設立的社團，旨在幫助中國學生發揚中國文化。
For undergraduate Chinese students, the biggest Chinese organization is the Harvard-Radcliffe Chinese Students Association (HRCSA), which was founded in 1974. HRCSA is one of the largest and most active student organizations on campus, with nearly one thousand general members and 20 board members. As a home to Harvard's Chinese and Chinese-American community, HRCSA serves as a forum for social, cultural, and educational/political interaction among students of all backgrounds. HRCSA hosts nearly 80 events each year, including general meetings, guest speakers on politics and culture, holiday festivals, parties, and more.
對讀本科的中國學生來說，最大的中國學生社團要數哈佛大學中華學會了 (HRCSA)。該社團于1974年成立，是哈佛大學校園里最大和最活躍的社團之一，共有近1000名普通成員和20名社團工作人員。作為中國學生和美籍華裔學生的家， HRCSA為來自不同背景的學生之間進行社會、文化和教育/政治交流提供一個平臺。 HRCSA每年有近80次活動，包括大會、嘉賓談論政治和文化、節慶、聚會和其他更多活動。
Another influential and helpful Chinese students organization at Harvard is the Harvard Chinese Students and Scholars Association(HCSSA). It is different from HRCSA in that it serves graduate Chinese students. As most students and scholars go to Harvard for further academic education, they generally have no difficulty in academic communication. But for most of them, life is not easy. Some have never been to the United States. Others may have visited the United States, and even have American friends. But even so, American culture is still a big leap for most of them, because observing something as an outsider is definitely different than experiencing it on one’s own.
在哈佛，另一個有影響力和有用的中國學生社團是哈佛大學中國學生和學者聯合 會（HCSSA),它不同于HRCSA之處在于它是為在哈佛讀研的中國學生服務的。因 為很多學生和學者來哈佛是為了在學術上深造，他們在學術交流上基本沒什么困難。 但對于大部分人來說，生活并不輕松。一些人從沒有去過美國；一些人可能去美國旅 游過，甚至交了美國朋友，但即使這樣，美國文化對大部分人來說還是一個巨大的跳躍， 因為親自經歷某些事和作為旁觀者觀看這些事是完 全不一樣的。
Therefore the mission of HCSSA is to provide opportunities and benefits for its members by facilitating the exchange of information between China and Chinese students studying abroad and by defending the rights of its members. HCSSA is also dedicated to the goal of promoting social, intellectual and cultural activities for Chinese students and scholars at Harvard University. It even strives to create a greater awareness of Chinese culture among Americans.
因此，HCSSA的任務就是讓中國和在海外讀書 的中國學生之間的信息交流變得更容易，保護其成 員的權利，從而為其成員提供機會和利益。HCSSA 還致力于推動哈佛大學中國學生和學者的社會、智 力和文化活動，它甚至爭取讓美國人對中國文化有 所認識。
In addition to HRCSA and HCSSA, there are many other Chinese students’ organizations, such as Chinese Chess Club, Chinese International Students Society, and Harvard Taiwan ROC Students Club(HTROCSC), etc.
除了 HRCSA和HCSSA外，還有很多其他中國學生成立的社團，如中國象棋俱 樂部、中國留學生會、哈佛大學臺灣（中華民國）同學會等。
