  哈佛校園生活情景對(duì)話:時(shí)裝秀

  Li Lei asks Han Meimei to buy clothes with him.

  L: Are you free this afternoon?

  L:今天下午有空嗎?

  H: Yes. Why?

  H:有啊,怎么了?

  L: I want you to help me choose clothes.

  L:我想讓你幫我選衣服。

  H: So, you admit that I’m an excellent judge of clothes?

  H:所以,你承認(rèn)我選衣服很有眼光嘍。

  L: What I‘m going to buy are not ordinary clothes. I’ll wear them on Halloween.

  L:我要買的可不是普通衣服,要在萬圣節(jié)上穿。

  H: Oh, I see. You have to dress up as ghosts, skeletons, witches, or devils. Does Harvard have such a tradition to celebrate Halloween?

  H:哦,我明白了。你們要打扮得像鬼呀、骷髏呀、女巫或魔鬼一樣。哈佛有慶祝萬圣節(jié)這個(gè)傳統(tǒng) 嗎?

  L: How can Harvard miss such a big event? Every year, Harvard will host Halloween Costume Catwalk, in which students dress up as anything they like and to compete for glory.

  L:哈佛怎么能錯(cuò)過這么大的節(jié)日呢?每年哈佛都會(huì) 舉行萬圣節(jié)服裝走秀,學(xué)生們可以任意打扮,爭(zhēng) 奪榮耀。

  H: It’s a competition? What awards are there?

  H:是個(gè)比賽?都有什么獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)?

  L: Best Impersonation, Best Couple, Best Group, Most Creative, and Most Scandalous.

  L:最佳裝扮獎(jiǎng)、最佳雙人組含獎(jiǎng)、最佳團(tuán)體獎(jiǎng)、最佳創(chuàng)意獎(jiǎng)、最不體面獎(jiǎng)。

  H: Quite formal.

  H:挺正式的。

  L: Students like it very much. Some feel they were kids again.

  L:學(xué)生們都很喜歡,一些人感到又回到了童年。

  H: Everyone seems to value this chance very much. You must dress yourself with elaborate care.

  H:每個(gè)人似乎都很珍視這個(gè)機(jī)會(huì),你_定要盛裝打扮。

  L: That’s why I ask you to help me.

  L:所以我才讓你幫我。

  H: I think you’d better design the costume yourself. Maybe you can win the Most Creative.

  H:我覺得你最好自己設(shè)計(jì)服裝,說不定還能臝最佳創(chuàng)意獎(jiǎng)呢。

  L: I don’t have confidence.

  L:我設(shè)有信心。

  H: You can count on me. By the way, it’s almost the end of the term. How is your study? Do you have time to prepare for this?

  H:包在我身上。隨便問一下,快期末了,你學(xué)習(xí)怎么樣了?有時(shí)間準(zhǔn)備這些嗎?

  L: Speaking of this, I,m eager to see the Primal Scream.

  L:說起這個(gè),我很想去看看"原始尖叫"。

  H: What’s that?

  H:那是什么?

  L: If Costume Catwalk is featured by splendid finery, Prime Scream is famous for the boldness of students who should wear no clothes!

  L:如果說服裝走秀的特點(diǎn)是盛裝,那原始尖叫就是因?qū)W生們有膽量不穿衣服而出名。

  H: Naked? Crazy! What the hell do they do?

  H:裸體?真瘋狂!他們到底都干什么?

  L: Every semester the night before finals,hundreds of students go in droves to Harvard Yard to do one of two things: to run around the Yard completely naked or to watch eveiyone else running around the Yard completely naked.

  L:每學(xué)期期末考試前一晚,上百名學(xué)生成群結(jié)隊(duì)地到哈佛園去做兩件事:繞著哈佛 園裸奔,或者,觀看其他人裸奔。

  H: Completely naked? Don,t they feel cold in such a cold winter?

  H:這么冷的天他們不冷嗎?

  L: Ok, ok, most of them do wear shoes and no one wants frostbitten toes. But no shirts, no pants, no nothing covering their private parts.

  L:好吧,好吧,大部分人的確穿著鞋,沒人想凍傷腳趾。但沒穿T恤,沒穿短褲, 沒有遮住隱私部位。

  H: Totally crazy! Why is it called Prime Scream? Do they scream? Why do they do such a crazy thing?

  H:完全瘋了!為什么叫原始尖叫呢?他們尖叫嗎?為什么要做這么瘋狂的事呢?

  L: As they run, they scream at the top of their lungs in order to release pent-up energy after being cooped up in the library for so long and to express their frustration about the looming exam period.

  L:他們邊跔邊歇斯底里地叫,在圖書館里悶了這么久,就是想發(fā)泄一下,把氣撒在 即將到來的考試身上。

  H: Do a lot of people go to watch it?

  H:很多人去看嗎?

  L: A good number of student watch . I’m curious about it. But it‘s a little embarrassing to watch those naked students running.

  L:挺多的。我很好奮,但又覺得不好意思去看人裸奔。

  H: I think so. I can hardly imagine it. American people are indeed very open. How do you see it? You said it’s a tradition at Harvard. Most students must understand and support it.

  H:我想也是。很難想象,美國人果然很開放。你怎么看待這件事?你說這是哈佛的一項(xiàng)傳統(tǒng),那肯定大部分學(xué)生都理解和支持了。

  L: Not necessarily. A lot of American students don’t like it, not to mention me. Once Iasked my roommate whether he would join in the activity this year. He said no.

  L:也不一定。很多美國學(xué)生都不喜歡,別說是我了。有一次我問我室友他會(huì)不會(huì)去參加今年的裸奔,他說不。

  H: Why? Did he give any reason?

  H:為什么?他的理由呢?

  L: He said “ I want to try such a crazy thing, yet it’s impossible to ignore the hundreds of people gathering around to watch, the cameras hashing, the video-cameras recording. Now imagine, what with the Internet and all, millions of people could have access to these photos and footage. Creepy, right?"

  L:他說:“我想嘗試這么瘋狂的事,但不能對(duì)圍觀的幾百號(hào)人及拍照的照相機(jī)和錄像的攝像機(jī)視而不見。想想,因?yàn)橛辛司W(wǎng)絡(luò)和其他東西,會(huì)有幾百萬人看到這些 照片和錄像。不寒而栗,對(duì)吧?”

  H: Yes. If they want to give vent to their pressures, they can find a more mild way. It’s really creepy to find oneself naked on YouTube.

  H:是的,如果他們想發(fā)泄的話,可以找一些更溫和的方式。在YouTube上發(fā)現(xiàn)自己裸著的樣子,真可怕。
