Don't overpack when you go to college and pack for the climate that you are in.

當你去學校的時候不要帶太多的東西，只帶適合你所處氛圍的東西。

Remember that ironing can become tiring and is not the most exciting college activity. Drycleaning bills do add up also. Consider packing clothes that wrinkle less and clothes that don'tneed dry cleaning.

請記住在大學活動中，熨燙衣服是一件很累，而且並不那麼有勁的事情。乾洗的費用也不那麼便宜。你得考慮帶一些不容易起皺、不需要乾洗的衣服。

Meet as many fellow students as you can during orientation. It's a great time to meeteveryone. Sometimes the people you meet during orientation become your best friends.

在新生教育的時候儘可能多地認識你的同學。這是個認識新夥伴的絕佳機會。有時候你在新生教育中認識的人會成爲你最好的朋友。

Get well acquainted with your campus and explore the campus, the buildings, and its history. Go into buildings that you would otherwise not go into.

好好地認識你的校園，並且探索這一校園中的建築和它們的歷史。你要去那些你平時不會去的建築裏走一圈。

Walk around campus before your classes begin and get familiar with where you are going andwhat times your classes are.

在課程開始之前繞校園走一圈，熟悉一下每節課在哪裏上、在什麼時候上。

Have a schedule that you can handle and vary your courses. Don't enroll in more than threereading intensive courses.

排出一張你可以應付自如的課表並據此調整你的課程安排。不要在一個學期選三門以上閱讀量很大的課程。

Find out who the best professors are from your friends and take their classes. The professor canmake the course better than the actual subject if they are really good.

從朋友那兒瞭解一下哪些是最好的老師，並且選他們的課。如果他們真的是很好的老師，那他們能把課上的比學科本身更吸引人。

Try to fulfill your core requirements and get them out of the way early on in college.

努力去完成你的核心課程要求，並且在大學生涯中儘早的去完成這些課程。

Seek advice from older students and of course your advisor. They are experienced with manyof the things you will go through and they can help. Don't wait for them to come to you, go tothem.

向學長和你的輔導員尋求建議。對於很多你將要面對的事情，他們比你有經驗的多。不要等着他們來找你，你要自己主動去找他們。

Don't decide on your major right away. Take some time to think about it and then decide whatinterests you most. Remember that majors are not geared for careers or entering the "realworking world." If majors were geared only to prepare you for a job and career, then manycompanies wouldn't have training programs.

不要馬上決定自己的專業。花點時間好好考慮一下，選擇你最感興趣的學科作爲專業。你要記住，專業並不與你的職業生涯或者進入"真實的工作世界"掛鉤。如果專業僅僅是爲了給你的工作和職業做準備，那麼許多公司就不會有培訓項目了。

When registering for classes try not to schedule classes that are back to back. If you do, youwon't have time to study right before or after class and it also can wear you out.

在選課的時候儘量避免"背靠背"的課程，這種課程會讓你在課前或者課後沒有時間學習，也會讓你筋疲力盡。

Try not to drop classes too early. Go to few of the classes and then decide if you should drop it. -Don't give up on a class if it seems too difficult. You could do well in a difficult class that youfind to be challenging with help from a tutor or a peer.

不要過早地去退課。試着去上幾節課再決定你是否應該退掉這門課。—不要因爲它看上去很難就放棄。在老師和同學的幫助下，你可以在一些很具挑戰性的課上學得很好。

Auditing classes at university is an ideal way of learning or trying out new areas of studywithout committing yourself.

在大學裏，蹭課是一種理想的學習方式，你可以不受約束地去嘗試學習的新領域。

You can study alongside fellow students without any obligation to participate in formalassessments or gain credits for your degree.

你可以和其他同學一起學習，而完全不必去參加什麼正式的學業評定，或是爲自己的學位賺學分。

The trend of auditing university classes has swept across universities. Recently, FudanPostgraduate, a publication by Fudan University, even released a map guide on its campus. Altogether, it features 25 courses, including details of lectures, venues, times andrecommendations. Students can design their own auditing route based on a handy map.

蹭課文化已經席捲了各大高校。近日，復旦大學校刊《復旦研究生報》甚至還推出了一張“復旦蹭課地圖”。地圖上共標出25門公共課，其中包含課程細節、上課地點、時間以及推薦理由。有了這樣一份便攜地圖，學生們便可以設計出自己的蹭課路線圖。

“It is relaxing for us to take individual modules or units on a casual basis without committingourselves to completing those studies in order to gain credits, a degree or an award,” said ZhuYanni, 22, a postgraduate majoring in environment management at Fudan University.

正在復旦大學環境管理專業攻讀碩士學位、22歲的朱燕妮(音譯)說：“可以隨意選擇個性的學習單元或模塊，完全不必爲了掙學分、拿學位或獎學金而硬着頭皮去完成這些學業，這讓我們感到很放鬆。”

Zhu, editor of the guide, said that she has benefited from the trend herself – she successfullymoved from a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry to her current one after auditing classes.

朱燕妮同時也是改版“地圖”的編輯之一，她表示自己從這種蹭課文化中受益頗多——在一番蹭課之後，她成功地將專業從本科時的生物化學轉成了現在的環境管理。

“Visiting classes helped me a lot. The teachers of outstanding courses seldom teach strictlyaccording to textbooks, which is attractive to students. Their tutoring methods have expandedmy mind,” Zhu said.

她說：“旁聽生涯帶給我很大的幫助。由於大多精品課的老師不按教材上課，這樣對於聽課的學生而言就更有吸引力。他們的輔導方法也開闊了我的思想。”

Other students audit purely out of interest. Shi Shuai, 22, a senior majoring inadministration management at Shantou University, attended courses in economics andfinance for one year.

還有一些學生蹭課純粹是興趣使然。來自汕頭大學行政管理專業的大四學生、22歲的石帥(音譯)就旁聽了一年時間的經濟、金融類課程。

“It is a great way to explore professional knowledge outside your major,” said Shi, whoacquired the basics of accounting and finance management.

已經掌握會計及財務管理基礎知識的石帥表示：“這是一種探索本專業外的其他專業知識的絕佳途徑。”

“When you study by yourself in a library, you can’t enjoy live group discussions or courseworkparticularly designed for students.”

“當你在讀書館上自習時，你無法感受到現場小組討論或是一些專爲學生設計的就業培訓。”

Despite the advantages of learning in an open environment, university administrators remindus that there are still rules to follow.

儘管在一個開放的環境中學習可謂益處頗多，高校的管理者卻提醒我們蹭課讓要有章可循。

Not all classes accept outsiders, especially minority language classes and science modules. These are often taught in small groups to ensure the effectiveness of learning, or require specialequipment and individual instruction, which is only available to registered students who paytuition fees.

並非所有課程都向旁聽者敞開大門，尤其是是小語種課程以及科學課程模塊。它們通常會採用小組授課方式以保證學習效果，或是需要特殊設備及個性化教學，而這些課程只對那些交付學費的在冊學生開放。

Regulations vary across departments and universities. According to Huang Xiaoxiong, ajournalism teacher at Fudan University, students need to ensure that auditing a class ispermitted. “It is about basic manners. You need to let the teacher know about your existence,” he explained.

不同大學、不同學院之間的規章制度而各不相同。來自復旦大學新聞系的黃曉雄(音譯)老師稱，學生需要確保蹭課是符合規定的。他解釋說：“這事關基本禮貌的問題。你需要讓老師知道你的存在。”

Even if a teacher allows students to audit a class, visitors should be careful not to occupy theteacher’s time.

即使一位老師歡迎學生來蹭課，旁聽者也要注意，不要佔用老師的時間。

“It’s polite to greet the teacher when attending a course. Participate in discussions, but do notdistract others,” Huang added. “It’s okay to hand in homework assigned by the teacher, butexpect general advice rather than careful correction.”

黃曉雄表示：“聽課時要禮貌地向老師問好。參加討論而不是去打斷別人。可以上交老師佈置的家庭作業，但預計得到的會是一般性的建議，而非細緻的批改。”

Auditing classes aimlessly or beyond one’s ability can be a waste of time, warns Xu Jun, 27, HRmanager at Guangzhou Automobile Industry Group. “It’s good to audit some classes. But youhave to manage your time well, as you can’t get any academic credit or formal recognitionfor these courses,” Xu suggested.

廣州汽車工業有限公司人力資源部經理、27歲的徐軍(音譯)提醒道：“盲目或不自量力的蹭課可能是在浪費時間。去旁聽一些課程這很好。但你必須同時管理好自己的時間，對於這些課而言，你既修不到學分也得到不正式認可。”

“Even though your interests are important, your degree is the first thing to consider atuniversity.”

“儘管個人興趣很重要，但學位是你在大學的頭等大事。”
