　　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(mǎi)的可不是普通衣服，要在萬(wàn)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(wàn)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(guò)這么大的節(jié)日呢?每年哈佛都會(huì) 舉行萬(wàn)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(jué)得你最好自己設(shè)計(jì)服裝，說(shuō)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(wèn)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(shuō)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(shuō)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(méi)人想凍傷腳趾。但沒(méi)穿T恤，沒(méi)穿短褲， 沒(méi)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(shū)館里悶了這么久，就是想發(fā)泄一下，把氣撒在 即將到來(lái)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(jué)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(guó)人果然很開(kāi)放。你怎么看待這件事?你說(shuō)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(guó)學(xué)生都不喜歡，別說(shuō)是我了。有一次我問(wèn)我室友他會(huì)不會(huì)去參加今年的裸奔，他說(shuō)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(shuō)：“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(jiàn)。想想，因?yàn)橛辛司W(wǎng)絡(luò)和其他東西，會(huì)有幾百萬(wàn)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。
