So Much to Learn
學海無涯
It was the last day of the final examination in a large Eastern university. On the steps of one building, a group of engineering seniors huddled, discussing the exam due to begin in a few minutes. On their faces was confidence. This was their last exam-then on to commencement and jobs.
這是東部一所大學期終考試的最后一天。在一棟建筑物的臺階上，一群工程學高年級學生圍在一起，對即將開始的考試議論紛紛。他們的臉上洋溢著自信。這將是他們求學時期的最后一場考試了，前面等待著他們的將是畢業并邁向各自的工作崗位。
Some talked of jobs they already had; others talked of jobs they would get. With all the assurance of four years of college, they felt ready and were able to conquer the world.
他們有的討論著已經獲得的工作，有的則討論即將參加的工作。經過四年大學教育，他們覺得自己已經為征服這個世界做足了準備。
The approaching exam, they knew, would be a snap. The professor had said they could bring any books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not talk to each other during the test.
他們知道面臨的考試只不過是小菜一碟。教授說他們可以帶任何書籍或筆記進入考場，唯一的要求是在考試期間不能討論。
Jubilantly they fielded into the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And smiles broadened as the students noted there were only five essay-type questions.
隨后他們興沖沖地涌入考場。教授開始發試卷。當學生們看到試卷上只有五條問答題時，他們露出舒心的微笑。
