M: You are heading for a completely different world, now that you are about to graduate from high school.
男：你即將高中畢業，那么你將走向一個完全不同的世界。
W: I know it’s the end of high school, but many of classmates are going on to the same university, and we are still required to study hard. So what’s the difference?
女：我知道這是高中的結束，但是許多同學將上同一所大學，我們仍需要努力學習。 所以有什么不同？
M: Many aspects are different here at the university. The most important one is that you have to take more individual responsibility for your actions. It’s up to your own self-discipline—how much efforts you put into study. Living in college dormitories, there are no parents to tell you that study harder or stop wasting time. Lectures have hundreds of students and they are not going to follow you up or question you if you miss the lectures.
男:大學的許多方面都不同。最重要的是，你必須為自己的行為承擔更多的個人責任。這取決于你自己的自律：你需要在學習中付出多少努力。生活在大學宿舍里，沒有父母告訴你要更加努力學習或停止浪費時間。課堂上有數百名學生，如果你錯過講課，他們將不會跟進或詢問你。
W: Nobody cares you mean?
女：沒人在乎你的意思嗎？
M: It’s not that nobody concerned about you, it’s just that suddenly at the university you are expected to behave like an adult. That means concentrating on the direction of your life in general and your own academic performance specifically.
男：并不是沒有人關心你，而是突然間，你在大學里需要表現得像成年人一樣。這意味著要專注于你總體的生活方向，尤其是自己的學習成績。
W: For example…?
女：例如...？
M: Well, like you need to manage daily, weekly and monthly schedules, so that you study regularly. Be sure to attend all classes and leave enough time to finish your assignments and prepare well for examinations.
男：好吧，例如你需要管理每日、每周和每月的時間表，以便定期學習。確保參加所有課程，并留出足夠的時間來完成作業并為考試做好準備。
W: Ok, and what else is different?
女：好的，還有什么不同？
M: Well, in college there are lots of distractions, and you need to control yourself. You will make interesting friends, but you need only keep the friends who respect your students’ commitments. Also, there are a lot of wonderful clubs, but you shouldn’t allocate too much time to club activities, unless they are directly related to your study. It’s also your choice if you want to go out at night, but you will be foolish to let that affect class performance during the day.
男：好吧，在大學里有很多分心的事情，你需要控制自己。你將結交有趣的朋友，但你只需要維持那些尊重學生責任的朋友。另外，這里有很多很棒的俱樂部，但你不應該為俱樂部活動分配太多時間，除非它們與你的學習直接相關。是否在晚上外出，這也是你需要作出的選擇，但是讓這影響白天的課堂表現是愚蠢的。
W: Well, I’m determined to do well at the university and I guess I’m going to have to grow up fast.
女：嗯，我決心在大學里好好表現，我想我必須快速成長。
