Troy was very enthusiastic about going to college.

When he enrolled in his courses he became even more so.
等到他參加課程學習之后他的興趣就更濃了。
It never entered into his mind that college might not have the answer to every problem.
他從來都沒有想過大學有可能解決不了所有問題。
Or that it could have a negative impact on his life!
或者大學有可能對他的生活產生負面影響!
Endowed with incredible idealism, Troy was bound to be disappointed.
由于天生就是個極端的理想主義者,特洛伊注定會感到失望。
His endangered species class ended up being just another trip to the zoo.
他的瀕危物種課最后只是再去一次動物園。
And the class about the energy content of raw materials was taught by a man so endeared to himself, that no one could say a word about other theories.
而關于原材料的能量含量方面的課是由一個自我欣賞的人教的,別人無法對其他理論說半個字。
Troy decided that he had escaped from high school hell into a college hell!
特洛伊這才覺得他是從髙中地獄逃到了大學地獄!
How could anything he learned here equip him with needed knowledge for the job market?
這里學習的東西怎么能使他具備職場需要的知識呢?
Feeling his enthusiasm for learning slipping away, Troy decided to engage in extracurricular activities to see if he could learn something relevant.
特洛伊感到他對學習的熱情在逐漸減少,因此他決定參加一些課外活動,看能否學到相關知識。
When he entered into a room filled with other students with an enthusiasm for learning equal to his own, Troy felt he finally found his place.
當他進入一個坐滿學生的教室,看到他們有著同他一樣的學習熱情時,特洛伊覺得他總算找到了合適的地方。
It was just too bad that these students were all radical extremists bent on destroying the foundations of society!
原來這些學生都是激進的極端主義者,他們一心想破壞社會基礎,這也有點太讓人失望了!
They thought that every person was entitled to equal rights and that no nation should enforce its policy on individuals, regardless of how well intentioned that policy might be.
他們認為每個人都享有同樣的權利,任何國家都不能把它的政策強加給個人,無論這個政策的意圖可能有多好。
They were anarchists! And Troy entered in blindly.
他們是些無政府主義者!特洛伊進來得有些盲目。
He never came out. He lives to this day in a prison cell for the bombing of a science building in protest of research on animals!
他再也沒能出來。直到今天他還待在監獄里,為了反對拿動物做實驗, 他把一座科學館給炸了。
