C: How is life at Harvard?
 
在哈佛过得怎么样？
 
A: Not bad. But at first it’s hard for me to adjust to it.
 
还行，只是刚开始时对我来说有点难适应。
 
C: That’s must hard for you.
 
那对你来说一定很难。
 
A: Fortunately, I got a lot of help from the Chinese students' association at Harvard.
 
幸好，在哈佛的中国学生社团给予了我很多帮助。
 
C: Sounds like a fellow townsmen，club back in China.
 
听起来就像是在中国的同乡俱乐部。
 
A: In America, all Chinese are fellow “townsmen”.
 
在美国，所有的中国人都是老乡。
 
C: Can I join it if I go to Harvard in the future?
 
如果我将来进哈佛了也能加入吗？
 
A:You’ll be welcome because you can give us a big hand once you join us.
 
你会受到欢迎的，因为一旦你加入会给我们带来很大帮肋。
 
C: What’s the association’s name exactly? I’d like to look it up from the internet.
 
社团确切的名字是什么？我想在网上査找一下。
 
A: Harvard-Radcliffe Chinese Students Association.
 
哈佛大学中华学会。
 
C: How does it help Chinese students?
 
它是如何帮助中国学生的呢？
 
A: The biggest help offered by it is to make us feel at home, I would say. It hosts nearly 80 events each year, celebrating our traditional festivals, and keeping us aware of Chinese culture.
 
A:它最大的帮助是让我们感觉在家里一样。总之，它每年约举办80次活动，庆祝我们的传统节日，让我们保持对中国文化的认识。
 
C:It ought to be that way. It'll be very embarrassing if foreigners ask something about Chinese culture that we should not know at all.
 
它就应该那样做！如果外国人问我们一些关于中国的文化知识我们却什么都不知道，那样会很尴尬的。
 
A: That’s why we founded such an association at Harvard College. Actually there’s another Chinese association at Harvard, but it’s for graduate Chinese students.
 
那就是为什么我们在哈佛大学成立这样一个社团了。事实上，哈佛还有另外一个中国社团，不过它是专为研究生和已经毕业的中国学生设立的。
 
C: What’s that?
 
是什么？
 
A: It’s called Harvard Chinese Students and Scholars Association. Personally speaking, this one is more important.
 
它叫做"中国学生和学者联合会”。就个人而言，它更重要。
 
C: I don’t understand.
 
我不明白。
 
A: You know, a lot of Chinese graduate students spend their undergrad years in China, so their thinking model is almost fixed.
 
你知道，很多中国学生没毕业之前大都在中国，他们的思考模式已经固定了。
 
C: It must be even harder for them to adjust to American culture and society,
 
对他们来说，适应美国的文化和社会必定更难。
 
A: Few of them can completely overcome the language and cultural barrier, though they generally have no difficulty in scientific communication.
 
他们很少能完全克服语言和文化的障碍，虽然他们一般在技术性的沟通上没有困难。
 
C: So they are in need of help. HCSSA can safeguard their rights and interests while promoting Chinese culture. Am I right?
 
所以他们需要帮肋，HCSSA在宣扬中国文化时能够保障他们的权利和利益。我说的对吗？
 
A: Completely! You have the awareness we need. You must come to join our association when you're admitted by Harvard.
 
非常正确！你有我们所需要的意识。如果你被哈佛录取了一定要来参加我们的社团啊。
 
C: I’m flattered, but I’m glad I’ll be helpful.
 
过奖了，但很高兴会有所帮肋。
