For many people, attending college is a gateway to success.
對許多人而言，上大學都是通往成功的大門。
But for 21-year-old Dale Stephens, it's just not the case.
但對于現年21歲的戴爾·斯蒂芬斯來說，情況卻并非如此。
Disappointed with college because he felt he was not getting the skills he wanted,
他對大學感到很失望，因為他覺得沒有學到自己想學的技能。
he dropped out and started “UnCollege,"
他退學了，發動了一場“不上大學”運動，
a social movement that challenges the notion that college is the best path to success.
一項挑戰大學是通向成功的最佳途徑這一觀念的社會運動。
This movement urges learners to focus on the quality of their education and how it meets their individual, educational, and career goals.
運動敦促學生們關注自己接受的教育的質量，及其是否契合他們的個人、教育和職業目標。
It suggests that learners may choose to pursue their education through free online classes,
意在表明學生們可以通過免費的在線課程，
internships, gap years, or a variety of other ways,
實習，間隔年，或者其他各種方式繼續自己的學業，
but the important thing is to cultivate a high-quality knowledge base with huge time and money saved.
但重要的是，搭建一個高質量的，能夠節省大量的時間和金錢的知識庫。
The message of UnCollege has never been "don't go to college."
“不上大學”運動想傳遞的信息從來都不是讓大家“不要去上大學”。
In essence, it tries to show learners that college is certainly not the only way, and may not be the best way to success.
就其核心而言，這項運動想告訴學生們的是，大學絕對不是通向成功的唯一的途徑，甚至連最佳途徑也不是。
"I'm suggesting that everyone take a good look at their education,
“我建議每個人都好好審視一下自己所接受的教育，
figure out why they are there and what they're doing with it,
弄清楚為什么接受那樣的教育，以及準備用那段經歷來做什么，
so that they can decide whether or not it makes sense to stay in college or leave school," Dale says.
這樣才能更好地決定繼續留在大學還是離開學校哪一個更合理，”戴爾說。
