反身代名詞

I am John Clark with the TOEFL program, and

I'm honored today to be joined by Joe John Castiglione at Penn State University.

今天很榮幸能邀請到賓州州立大學的 Joe John Castiglione。

One of my interests is University of Oklahoma athletics, and their athletic director is Joe Castiglione.

我其中一個興趣是奧克拉荷馬大學的體育活動，他們的體育總監是 Joe Castiglione。

So, Jon, I'll call you Joe 12 times in the conversation.

所以，Jon，我會在對話中叫你 Joe 十二次。

好，John，我有一個初步的問題。

So the Penn actually stands for Pennsylvania.

所以 Penn 其實是代表 Pennsylvania。

And where we are in the world is kind of interesting because Penn State has 20 campuses, so we are spread all over the state of Pennsylvania.

我們在哪裡其實很有趣，因為賓州州立大學有 20 個校區，所以我們遍佈整個 Pennsylvania 州。

The biggest campus, we don't like calling it the main campus anymore, but

最大的校區，我們不太喜歡再叫它主校區，但是

the biggest campus is in State College, Pennsylvania, which, John, is right directly in the center of Pennsylvania, right in the middle of the state.

最大的校區在 Pennsylvania 的 State College，John，那裡就在 Pennsylvania 的正中心，就在州的中間。

And I have to confess, I went to college about 45 minutes away.

我得承認，我以前的大學離那裡大概 45 分鐘。

And I took every opportunity I could to go to State College because it's surrounded by natural beauty, but

我把握了所有能去 State College 的機會，因為那裡被自然美景環繞，而且

it's also just this great college town with so many restaurants and culture activities.

那裡也是一個很棒的大學城，有很多餐廳和文化活動。

So tell us a little bit about the area where Penn State's located.

所以，可以跟我們聊聊賓州州立大學所在的區域嗎？

So what I think is one of the coolest things about this area is that there's a little bit.

我覺得這個區域最酷的一點是，它有點。

It's the quintessential college town, right?

這就是典型的的大學城，對吧？

Like, it has a downtown area with the restaurants and the bars and things like that.

像是，它有個市中心，有餐廳、酒吧那些東西。

There's a little bit of a big city feel to it, but 10 miles in each direction, and

它有一點大城市的感覺，但往每個方向開個十英里，

With State College, Pennsylvania being in the middle of the state, being that college town with everything that you could ask for in a big city, and

賓州州立大學所在的 State College，位於州的中間，是個大學城，有大城市裡你想要的一切，而且

then everything you could ask for students or for people that don't want a big city.

然後也有你想要的東西，給學生或是不想要大城市生活的人。

There's a ski resort 15 minutes down the road.

離這裡開車 15 分鐘就有個滑雪度假村。

It's unique is a way I would describe it.

It's a cool to live, it's a cool place to work.

這裡很適合居住，也很適合工作。

John, I have skied at that ski resort, and I can't ski.

John，我曾在那個滑雪度假村滑過雪，但我根本不會滑。

a girl that couldn't have been older than 8 or 9 expertly skied over and said, Mister, are you all right?

然後一個大概 8、9 歲的小女孩，熟練地滑過來問我：「先生，你還好嗎？」

賓州州立大學也有很悠久的歷史。

It was founded in 1855, so there's a really rich history.

它創立於 1855 年，所以歷史非常悠久。

The best way I can describe it is a Nittany Lion.

我最能形容它的方式就是 Nittany Lion。

So just think of the Nittany lion as a tough line with a great sense of humor.

所以你就把 Nittany Lion 想成是一個很強悍、又很有幽默感的一種象徵。

And just to clear the air, there are no lions roaming campus, right?

對了，先釐清一下，校園裡並沒有真的獅子在跑來跑去，對吧？

We have a lot of squirrels, but I've yet to see a lion on campus.

我們有很多松鼠，但我還沒在校園裡看過獅子。

It's not the first time squirrels have come up on the podcast.

這不是第一次松鼠在 Podcast 上被提起。

This is what American universities have to offer.

I want to shift focus and talk a little bit about the resources available for international students.

我想把焦點轉移一下，稍微聊聊提供給國際學生的資源。

I was shocked that you have more than 9,000 international students in the middle of Pennsylvania.

我對於賓州中部有超過九千名國際學生感到很驚訝。

So there's a really robust community to begin with.

所以一開始就有一個非常蓬勃發展的社群。

But tell me a little bit more about the international student experience at Penn State.

但能不能多跟我聊聊賓州州立大學的國際學生體驗？

So like you just said, almost 10,000 international students from 150 countries.

就像你剛才說的，有來自150個國家的將近一萬名國際學生。

So it's not just centralized in one or two countries.

所以這不只集中在一兩個國家。

I mean, we have India, China are two of the big.

像是印度、中國是其中兩個大宗。

And I've been lucky enough to work with students from some cool places, places that you wouldn't think, like you said, central Pennsylvania.

我很幸運能跟一些很酷地方來的學生合作，那些地方你可能沒想到，就像你說的，賓州中部。

And even for our domestic students, too, John.

還有我們在地的學生也是，John。

I think one of the things that brings these students to Pennsylvania and to Penn State is that Penn State is a brand.

我覺得讓這些學生來到賓州、來到賓州州立大學的原因之一，就是賓州州立大學是一個品牌。

I mean, you know, Penn State, we can talk forever.

說到賓州州立大學，我們可以聊很久。

I can tell you stories about places I've been where I've had a Penn State hat on, and

我可以跟你分享我去過一些地方，戴著賓州州立大學的帽子，
