Stepping in the university means stepping into a new period of life. As freshmen, this brand new life may be too confusing and strange to you. So today, as a senior, Im gonna recommend this movie to you, which tells a story of innovation, freedom and courage. Maybe this can help you solve some of your problems in a degree.

踏入大学意味着人生新的阶段。对于新生来说,全新的生活可能是奇怪而令人困惑的。所以今天我将以学姐的身份给你们推荐这部电影《死亡诗社》。这个有关创新、自由和爱的故事可能可以帮助你们解决一些问题。


Brief Introduction: It was the new term ceremony of the Welton Academy. It was a school that stuck to the tradition. Being restricted by cruel regulations, the freshmen called this academy Hell. But to their surprise, this year a young and energetic new teacher came to the school, and totally rebelled the old-fashioned way of teaching which had lasted for years. This young teacher, Mr. Keating, would take the students out of class to inspire their independent personality, and would allow them to stand on the desk yelling Oh captain, my captain to let them feel the true beauty of poetry. He was definitely a revolutionary in the stubborn academy.Under his influence,the students even formed a group called Dead Poets Society......

简介:在这个忠于传统的威尔顿贵族学校的开学典礼上,新生们都管这所规矩严苛的学校叫做“地狱”。但令学生没想到的是,他们迎来了一位年轻有活力的新教师,基廷先生,他的上课方式打破了学校的所有传统。他会带领学生到户外激发他们的独立人格,他会让学生站到课桌上大喊“哦船长,我的船长”来让他们感受诗歌真正的美妙。他无疑是这所顽固学院的一个改革者,在他的激励下,学生们甚至成立了一个名为“死亡诗社”的社团......


Famous Lines: 1、I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately … I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life! To put to rout all that was not life… And not when I came to die, discover that I had not lived…
我步入丛林,因为我希望活得有意义 … 我希望活得深刻,汲取生命所有的精髓! 把非生命的一切全都击溃 … 以免在我生命终结时,发现自己从来没有活过 …


2、We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty,romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.
我们读诗写诗,非为它的灵巧。我们读诗写诗,因为我们是人类的一员。而人类充满了热情。医药,法律,商业,工程,这些都是高贵的理想,并且是维生的必需条件。但是诗,美,浪漫,爱,这些才是我们生存的原因。

 

3、Robert Frost said, two roads diverged in a wood and I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.
劳勃佛洛斯特说过,树林里两条岔路,我选择人走得比较少的那条路,那里有天壤之别。


4Because we are food for worms lads. Because, believe or not, each one of us in this room is one day going to stop breathing, turn cold and die.
因为我们都是凡人,孩子们。因为信不信由你,这间房子里的每个人总有一天都要停止呼吸,僵冷,死亡。


So, to conclude, life in university is totally different from the one in high school. In here, CCNU, you can speak out aloud. And to study as university students, you should try to think critically, freely and bravely. Wish you a happy university life.

总而言之,大学生活与高中生活完全不一样。在华中师范大学,你们可以大声说出心中所想。作为大学生,你们应该试着学会思辨,自由,勇敢地去思考。 注你们大学生活愉快。
