Fortunately, your parents, who had become so accustomed to guiding you through the myriad decisions you had to make to get into this place, have been able to stay in constant smartphone contact. You've been able to call them when you were at the salad bar and couldn't remember which salad dressing you like. You were able to email them your sociology paper and luckily, Dad's colleague Elliot at the firm had an M.A. in sociology and was able to make a few helpful suggestions, such as the central argument, supporting evidence and the pull-it-all-together conclusion.
幸运的是,在你们为进入这所学校必须做出无数决定的过程中,习惯了全程指引你们的父母能借助智能手机与你们保持联系。当你站在沙拉台旁、记不起自己喜欢哪种沙拉调料时,你还能给他们打个电话。你还能通过电子邮件把社会学论文发给他们,幸而你爸爸的公司同事艾略特(Elliot)是一名社会学硕士,能够给你提一些有用的建议,比如要有中心论点、支持论据以及总括全文的结论等等。
Mostly, though, you've spent your last four years being ... well, at home.
然而,在这过去的四年中,大部分时间你们都...呆在家里。
When I said goodbye to my son at freshman drop-off day, I was thrown into a black despair over how much I'd miss him. But as it turned out, he had so few weeks of actually being at college that I never had time to miss him. Misty-eyed, when the rest of the family was having dinner, I'd say, 'I wonder what Johnny's doing right now, ' and then I'd hear him call from the family room, 'I'm watching 'Arrested Development.''
