▌素材来源于Vanessa Miller《6 movies about college that truly depict college life》
Although Hollywood has been known to embellish the truth, there are some movies about college and college life that have gone beyond entertainment.
虽然好莱坞总是爱添油加醋,但仍然有一些关于大学和大学生活的电影超越了娱乐的意义。
Here are 6 movies that captured college ever so perfectly.
这6部电影就准确抓住了大学生活的精髓。
A movie based on the creation and development of a social media powerhouse: Facebook. An intellectual center of higher education, Harvard is filled with aspiring entrepreneurs, politicians, athletes, educators, scientists and activists. How does someone stand out? Make themselves known for something greater than themselves?

影片源自社交传媒巨头Facebook(是的,的确有这个网站存在)创立和发展的故事。哈佛,高等教育的殿堂,云集了未来的企业家、政治家、运动员、教育家、科学家和艺术家。如何才能从中脱颖而出?如何才能取得比考上哈佛更伟大的成绩?
College will be a time of self-actualization. You’ll either find yourself, lose yourself finding yourself or find the person you aspire to become. It’s a place for intellectual and personal development. You'll have to fight for who you want to become.
大学是一个自我实现的地方。在这里,你可以找到自己、迷失自己,或者知道自己想要成为什么样的人。在这里,才智和个性都会得到发展。为了成为理想中的自己努力吧!

Ah, the life of a Bel-Air raised beautiful blonde who's President of her sorority and dating the man of her dreams (for the moment, that is). Elle Woods. Fashion major with a perfect GPA and 179 LSAT score who screams diversity. Hello Harvard Law.
她,一个贝沙湾长大的金发碧眼美女,联谊会会长,男朋友是(当时的)梦中情人,GPA成绩完美,LSAT考了179分,高呼着差异性。她就是艾丽·伍兹!你好哇,哈佛法学院!
As I don't sit on the Harvard Law admissions committee, I can't say how it is Elle Woods was admitted. I can say, however, she found the guidance and support from her friends to help her through the admissions process. Your friends in college are everything. They help you better yourself even when you think you can't. Friends are what keep you grounded and sane, all at the same time.
我不是哈佛法学院的招生办的,所以我没法说艾丽·伍兹这样的姑娘会在多大程度上被招生官认同。但我可以说,她从朋友那里获得了支持,他们的指导和帮助让她通过了招生考试。在大学,朋友真很重要。在你自己都觉得自己不行的时候,朋友们让你变得更好。同时,朋友也会让你保持脚踏实地、头脑清醒。
Although not explicitly about college, The Internship focuses on a college-based internship at Google. Google’s offices are called “campus” and the company fosters a college-like setting to promote intellectual stimulation and creativity. The movie focuses on something incredibly unique about college life —— the importance of teamwork, belief in yourself and humor.
准确的说这不是部校园片,但《实习大叔》这部电影讲述的是谷歌的类大学实习生体系。谷歌的办公室被称为校园。这家公司建立了一个类似大学的激励体系去提升员工的智慧和创造力。这部电影的着眼于大学生活中至关重要的事情:团队的重要性、自信,以及幽默感。
● 两分半电影预告片。
Teamwork is essential not only for some project grades, but for the experience of working well as a unified entity. Believing you can achieve greatness takes courage and dedication. And humor, well, humor makes it all interesting.
团队不仅关乎工作上取得的成绩,也关乎将工作整体的体验。勇气和付出,让你相信自己可以达到卓越。而幽默感,嗯,幽默感让上面两者变得有趣。
Bartleby and his friends create a fictional college, South Harmon Institute of Technology (sidenote: did you catch the acronym?) because they were denied admission everywhere else. After realizing the standard college curriculum wouldn't suffice, South Harmon became a college in which lessons went beyond the classroom walls and into the hearts of students.
巴特比和朋友们办了一个“野鸡大学”——南方哈门工业大学(注:你猜这大学的英文缩写是啥?),因为他们被所有其他大学拒了。意识到普通的大学课程没法满足学渣们的要求,南方哈门大学成为了让课程走出教室、走进学生心灵的大学。
You learn a lot in college. Whether you want to or not. You'll find yourself learning life lessons, social norms, how long you can survive on cafeteria food and the importance of sleep and wellness. Courses may provide you with the knowledge specific to your major, but the majority of undergraduate life surpasses the classroom walls.
在大学里,不论想不想学,你都会学到很多。你会发现,你学的是人生、是社会常识、是如何吃着食堂菜生存下来、是睡眠和健康的重要性。上课给你提供专业知识,但大学生活的大部分其实是发生在教室之外的。
Your roommate. Your beloved, always in your space, wonderful roommate. Roommates are the best and the worst parts of your undergraduate life. Whether you live in the same room with your roommate or down the hall in the same apartment, they will always be there. When you get up for class, come home from your extra-curricular activities, eat dinner or watch some TV, they will be there.
室友。你深爱的、永远在你世界里晃悠的、可爱的室友。大学生活中,室友可能是天使,也可能是魔鬼。不管你们是同住一屋还是合租一楼,他们就是在你眼前晃荡着。你去上课、从课外活动回来、吃东西、看剧……他们都在那儿。
For better or for worse. No other fictional roommates do it better than Mike and Sully.
祸福与共,肝胆相照。没有人比Mike好Sully这对室友更棒了!
● 半分钟《怪兽大学》花絮。
Jesse Fischer, a 35-year old college admissions counselor, is invited to his former undergraduate professor's retirement party. Tired of the chaos of New York City, he travels back to Ohio to find himself once again on his alma mater's campus. He walks through campus with a grin extending throughout his face and a sigh of relief. He lays on the grass with open arms and is overjoyed to be back in a place he used to call home.
Jesse Fischer,35岁,大学招生咨询官。他受邀参加大学教授的退休典礼。厌倦了纽约的嘈杂,他回到俄亥俄州的母校重新找自己。他面带微笑轻松自在的走在校园里。他张开双臂躺在草坪上,为回到这个曾经视为“家”的地方而高兴万分。
College is the most unique and fascinating place one could so luckily find themselves. Enjoy college, as there is truly no place like it.
