未來簡單式

Before I went to college, I wish I had hugged my parents and ate a lot more of their home-cooked meals, because you're gonna get tired of ramen pretty quick.

在我正式入學前，我好希望我有給我爸媽一個擁抱和多吃一點他們做的家常菜，因為過沒多久就會吃泡麵吃到膩。

動名詞

[Things I wish I knew before starting college.]

[我希望在上大學之前就知道的事。]

現在進行式

First off, don't worry about any of the high school drama and any of the guys in your high school, any of those people, because they're gonna be irrelevant in about two months.

首先，不用擔心高中時發生過的那些鳥事或是高中時的同學，甚至是任何人，因為大概兩個月之後你們之間就毫無關聯了。

The one thing I wish I would have done in between high school and college would definitely be find internships, at least one summer internship or just internships at all.

一件我希望自己有做到的事是，在高中轉大學的這段期間有去找實習的機會，至少有一個暑期實習，或是任何的實習都好。

Start the free stuff now so that once you leave college, you've already built your ground, and most jobs actually want to hire you afterwards.

先做不支薪的工作好讓你在一畢業的時候就具備一定的基礎，如此一來許多的公司就會想要雇用你。

I'm from Hawaii, and something that I really wish I did more of before I went to college was go to the beach.

我來自夏威夷，一件我後悔在上大學前沒有多做的事，就是去海邊。

I went to school in Ohio, in middle of nowhere Ohio, and so, obviously there are no beaches, and the closest body of water was the Ohio River, so that's not the best to swim in.

我在俄亥俄州讀書，「鳥不生蛋的俄亥俄州」，很明顯的那邊沒有沙灘，而且最近的水源就是俄亥俄河，那個地方不是游泳的好去處。

Learn about sex and drugs, because there's a lot of that in college, and it's better to be educated.

好好認識「性」和「毒品」，因為在大學裡接觸到的機率很高，最好還是要對這些有一定的了解。

That way, you know what you're getting yourself into.

如此一來，你才會清楚自己在做什麼。

Take as many pictures with your friends as possible.

You gotta go in, you gotta stunt on everyone, you gotta be looking good, so just kind of like revitalize that whole wardrobe.

一踏進校園，你就要驚艷每個人，你要看起來時髦，所以把整個衣櫃都汰舊換新吧！

If you don't get it, they're gonna smack you against the wall.

如果不遵守最後期限，有一天一定會有報應的。

You should also hang out with your friends as much as possible.

也記得盡量多花點時間跟朋友一起。

Because it's the last summer you're gonna be able to do it.

因為這是你最後一個跟他們在一起的暑假了。

Somehow, remember that you signed off on a student loan, 'cause you're gonna forget.

請記得自己身上揹有學貸，因為你一定會忘記。

And then, five years later, you're gonna get something in the mail that says you signed a student loan for like 5000 USD.

然後五年後，你會收到一封郵件，告訴你還有 5000 美金的貸款還沒繳。

Totally not speaking from personal experience.

Read a book that you actually want to read for fun, because I don't think you're gonna want to read a book for fun for the next four years until college is over.

讀一些出自於興趣、自己真的想看的書，因為我想在接下來的四年直到大學畢業前，你大概都不會因為出自於興趣而看書了。

My last summer before college, I definitely regret not actually just chilling.

我唸大學前的最後一個暑假，最後悔的就是沒好好放鬆。

Like, I was just doing too much and preparing for college.

我做了一堆事和為唸大學做準備。

You go through your four years, and then it's like you're in the workforce and that's that.

整整四年的忙碌，然後就進入了職場，就這樣過了。

Before I went to college, I worked at my summer camp, my sleep-away summer camp, and I didn't pack anything.

在唸大學前，我在一個夏令營工作，就在夏令營渾渾噩噩的度過，我什麼行李也沒有打包。

And my mom graciously packed everything I could have ever needed for me.

還好我媽很好心地幫我打包行李，她把所有我可能用到的東西都打包進去了。

So my advice is to like... go get things you need for college for yourself so that when you get there, you know what you have.

所以我的建議是，自己去準備大學需要用到的東西，到了學校後，你才會知道自己到底帶了些什麼。

During my last summer before college, I wish I would have threw a graduation party.

在我入學前的最後一個暑假，我後悔沒有辦一場畢業派對。

I'm 25, and I never had a big party that celebrated me and my accomplishments, so that would have been dope.

我已經 25 歲了，卻還沒辦過任何一場慶祝我的里程碑的大型派對，要是有的話一定會很屌。

Put yourself in uncomfortable situations.

Don't do what everyone's telling you to do.

Because at least in my life, that's when I found the most interesting things and like... kind of discovered who I was.

至少在我的生命中，就是如此我才經歷到很多有趣的事情，然後從中發現自我。
