胡敏读故事记考研词汇第4期：大学一年级
Freshman Year
1．I was born in a small town, up in the mountains. Because of the high altitude, few people lived there.
2．I was always amid my neighbors and friends, people I had known for all of my life.
3．When I was in my hometown, I felt like those days would last forever.
4．But the days went by quickly, and soon I found myself packing my bags for college.
5．I was full of ambition, and had applied to go to university in a big city.
6．When I first got to my university, I was on the alert for everything.
7．I felt very much alone without my family and friends.
8．I was like an alien arriving on a new plant. I felt like an ambassador from another world.
9．Once classes started, things were better. I was busier, because I had to allocate most of my time to studying.
10．I wanted to work hard, and did not allow myself to go to a large amount of parties.
11．I wanted to find an alternate social life that would let me have fun, without always drinking alcohol, like some university students do.
12．Many people allege that this is why some students get bad grades their first year at university.
13．Because I felt very ambiguous about what I wanted to study, I took many different classes.
14．I tried many different things, but still hadn't found the perfect match for me.
15．This made me feel even more lost at school, and I knew I had to find a way to amend things.
16．In order to make new friends, and alleviate my loneliness, I joined the drama club at my school.
17．It was there I met my first ally. The president of the drama club was an older student, named Betty.
18．She was quite amiable, and helped give me advice about school.
19．She helped me to alter my schedule so that I had the best classes.
20．Soon our drama club put on its first show. It was a comedy, full of jokes to amuse the audience.
21．My parents and friends even drove out to watch me. We were only amateur actors, but I think we did a good job.
22．After the show, my father said, "Sarah, you amaze me, I didn't know you were so good at acting!" Such ample praise made me very proud.
23．That as when I realized what I wanted to be, an actress!
大学一年级
1．我出生在高山上的一个小镇。由于海拔高，那里人烟稀少。
2．我的生活里全部都是邻居和朋友，他们是我人生的全部。
3．在家乡时，我觉得那样的生活会永远持续下去。
4．但时光飞逝，很快我就要收拾行装去读大学了。
5．我雄心勃勃，申请到大城市读大学。
6．刚进大学时，我对一切都心存戒备。
7．没有家人和朋友的我感到非常孤单，
8．就好像踏上了一个新星球的外星人，又像是来自另一个世界的大使。
9．开始上课后，情况好转了一些。因为必须把大部分时间分配给学习，我比以前忙了。
10．我想努力学习，所以从不允许自己参加大量的聚会。
11．我想找到一种能给自己带来快乐的可选择性社交模式，而不是像某些大学生那样花天酒地。
12．许多人曾断言，酗酒是大一新生成绩下降的原因之一。
13．对于课程的选择，我十分迷茫，因此我选了许多不同的课程。
14．我做过很多不同的尝试，却还是没能发现什么最适合我。
15．这使我更加失落了，可我明白我必须想办法改变这一局面。
16．为了结交更多的朋友，减少孤独感，我参加了学校的戏剧俱乐部，
17．在那里我结识了我的第一个同伴——贝蒂，她是俱乐部的主席，也是我的学姐。
18．贝蒂友好和善，给了我一些学习建议。
19．她还帮我修改了选课表，以便于我能学到最好的课程。
20．不久，我们的俱乐部首场演出与观众见面了。那是一部喜剧作品，幽默滑稽，逗得观众哄堂大笑。
21．我的父母和朋友远道驱车前来观看。虽然我们只是业余演员，但我认为我们的表演非常成功。
22．演出结束后，父亲说，“萨拉，你真让我吃惊，我不知道你竟这么擅长表演！”如此多的赞誉之词让我感到无比自豪。
23．正是那个时候我明白了自己想做什么——一名优秀的演员！
