　　雙語美文：大學假期里該做的幾件事

　　Think about the future

　　思考未來

　　It’s never too early (or late) to consider what you want to do over the next few years and these spells of downtime give you a chance to think。

　　好好考慮你接下來的幾年打算做什么永遠都不會早(也不會晚)，所以假期的這段時間正好給了你一個機會去思考。

　　Dust off the felt tips and start Googling: are you enjoying your chosen course? If not, what else is out there? Are you interested in travelling, either as part of your degree or after graduation? Which jobs or graduate schemes appeal to you?

　　重新拿起粗頭筆然后開始谷歌搜索：你享受你的選修課嗎?如果不喜歡，那你喜歡什么?把它當成你學業(yè)的一部分或者是畢業(yè)之后，你喜歡旅行嗎?什么職業(yè)或者畢業(yè)生計劃比較吸引你?

　　Mulling over your options is a handy way to kill a few hours when you’ve had enough of This Morning。

　　當你度過了千篇一律的假期上午后，仔細考慮未來生活將是一個不錯的打發(fā)時間的方法。

　　Get a temporary job找一份短時工作

　　If the current state of your bank account is giving you sweaty night terrors then the solution is to work。

　　如果你現(xiàn)在的銀行賬戶情況會讓你半夜驚醒，那么解決辦法就是找份工作。

　　Whether it’s mucking out petting pets at a Farm Park in the summer, stacking supermarket shelves at Christmas, or temping in an office, the good news is there’s always plenty of seasonal work available to students and don't think you've left it too late this Christmas- you're bound to find some shops looking for last minute cover。

　　無論是夏天在農(nóng)場處理動物糞便，圣誕節(jié)整理超市貨架，還是在辦公室做臨時雇員，好消息是總會有一些適合大學生的季節(jié)性工作。別覺得現(xiàn)在太晚，你現(xiàn)在就可以去一些店里尋找最后的機會。

　　Try volunteering

　　嘗試做義工

　　Volunteering is an easy way of exploring your interests, meeting new people and enhancing your CV while doing something fantastic for your community。

　　當你為社區(qū)做一些極好的事情時，志愿者服務不僅能讓你探索自己的興趣，結識新的人，還能豐富你的簡歷。

　　You can volunteer in pretty much anything imaginable and you don’t need to commit loads of free time: try a one-off fundraising　day helping with local bucket collections or micro-volunteering – which involves charitable actions of around 30 minutes – such as online tutoring, planting trees or walking dogs。

　　你可以嘗試做任何志愿者服務，而且你也不用投入大量的空余時間：你可以在一個籌款日幫助當?shù)毓娼M織或者做一些零碎的志愿服務，比如30分鐘左右就可以完成的事情——在線輔導，植樹和遛狗。

　　Study (a bit)

　　多學一點

　　When you finally get your degree result you’ll either be popping the Prosecco or kicking yourself for not putting in enough effort. University terms take up just over half the year, so studying in the holidays is a must。

　　當你在畢業(yè)之際拿到成績單時，你要么在打開普洛賽克葡萄酒享受，要么在對當初不夠努力后悔莫及。大學每學期只有半年時間，所以在假期里學習很有必要。

　　If you’ve got exams or assessments coming up then revise and look at feedback from tutors to address your weak points。

　　如果你已經(jīng)拿到了考試成績和評價，那就仔細校對，從老師那里拿到反饋，標出自己的弱勢知識。

　　Obviously you don’t have to get through the whole reading list – trying to pick out a few extra books could really improve the quality of your essays。

　　顯而易見，你并不需要閱讀清單上的所有內容，試著挑一些能真正提高你論文質量的好書。

　　Make memories

　　制造回憶

　　The best bit about the holidays is catching up with friends and family so make the most of it. I arranged a board games night with my family and although they weren’t ecstatic about it, I loved it。

　　假期最好的一點就是可以和朋友、家人相聚，所以盡情享受吧!我曾經(jīng)安排了一個和家人的桌面游戲之夜，雖然他們并不是特別入迷，但我很喜歡這種感覺。

　　Get all your home friends together and play poker with Quality Street instead of cash, organise your own bake off, or reminisce over cringeworthy childhood videos. Throw alcohol into the mix and you’ll be winning。

　　把所有的朋友叫在一起，以花街巧克力糖果為賭注來玩撲克，策劃一場烘焙大賽，或者一起回看童年的尷尬影像記錄，給這些活動再加點酒，你就贏了!

　　Meet up with your university mates and do something you wouldn’t normally do at uni, like visiting a museum or gallery. My friends are partial to trips involving aquariums and penny press machines。

　　邀上你的大學同學，做點兒你們在學校里不會做的事兒，比如參觀博物館或者畫廊。我有朋友特別喜歡參觀水族館和廉價報刊機。

　　The point is, if you pack your holidays with beneficial work, personally rewarding experiences and fun times, you will have succeeded in making this invaluable time count. Go and enjoy it。

　　最關鍵的是，如果你能做一些有價值的工作，獲得有滿足感的經(jīng)歷，以及享受一些開心時刻，你的假期就值了。行動起來，享受假期吧!
