...and that's why this is such an important decision

轉承詞

because it is one that will follow you now,

And that concludes another traditional Yale information session.

現在,我們的座談會也將告一段落

There will be a guided tour beginning in fifteen minutes.

In the meantime, I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.

同時,我也很開心的回答各位的任何問題,

Is it true that all Yale professors teach?

所有耶魯教授真的都會親自授課嗎?

It is true that every tenured Professor in Yale college teaches undergraduates,

這是真的,每個终身耶魯教授都會參與教學

so even a freshman might be taking a class from a Nobel Prize winner.

所以甚至一個大學新生可能還可以上到諾貝爾獎得主的課

I wanted to hail from a college called Yale.

It's a place where you'll learn quintessential knowledge,

在這裡,你可以學習到最好的知識

and you can live in a Residential College,

and you can put your hearts into all the liberal arts.

這就是為什麼我選擇耶魯的原因

Of course, you'll get a first-rate education,

but also thrive on classmates' conversation.

One of the reasons I chose Yale was for its housing system.

其中一個理由我選擇耶魯,是因為住宿制度,

they're randomly assigned to one of twelve smaller communities

他們會被隨機住到12個較小的社區,

These colleges have nothing to do with academic subjects or extracurricular activities.

這些學院跟學術和課外活動無關

they're quite a bit more than just living spaces.

Students here at Yale come from everywhere around -

with every type of interest that can possibly be found.

我們的不同熱情會使我們分歧嗎?

不是,是我們的住宿學院提供我們

For all four years we'll all reside together in colleges,

在四年間,我們都是住在同個學院,

With such great facilities to hone your abilities,

有很好的設施讓你磨練你的能力,

Every college has a dining hall with a salad bar and grill

每個學院都有餐廳,有沙拉和烤肉

Each one has a common room, which we could not live without -

每個學院有個不可缺少的公共室

And when the dining halls are closed there's butteries for snacks.

當餐廳關了,還有小舖會提供小吃,

然後,如果你讀累了,想休息一會,

I work out in my college gym, a mere two floors below.

我可以在學院的健身房運動,就在下兩樓

Then I meet my friends for rehearsal in the dance studio.

然後我和朋友在舞蹈教室練舞蹈,

There are tons of music practice rooms where I can hone my skills. We even have a movie theater This one always gives me chills!

有很多音樂室讓我可以磨練我的技巧,我們甚至還有電影院,這個總是使我嚇到,

Outside there's a common room,  so come and stay awhile. There's space for couches and TV's

在外面,有個公共聽,可以去待一會,有沙發和電視

or a lava lamp if that's your style. At the head of every college is a Master and a Dean.

或者你喜歡有個熔岩燈,每個學院都有個院長和主任,

Can I get some advice？What's a good summer program?

能給我些意見嗎?哪個是暑假的好活動?

hosting study breaks and lectures for when we need time off.

當我們需要休息時,他會主持娛樂活動和演講,

There's free food in the evening for all of you to share, and a Master's Tea tomorrow too.  I hope to see you there.

今晚大家可以享用免費的食物.明天還有個院長的茶會,我希望你會到,

Master's Tea's are a chance to see all your favorite celebrities.

院長茶會中,你會有機會見到你喜愛的名人,

...which is why I had to interview him twice.

這就是為什麼我要採訪他兩次的原因,

A place to call our home for all four years.

在整整四年,這個地方會讓你有家的感覺
