Note 4: Campus life

Posted 2021-03-12 richardzhiyunpeng

1. The collection of Linkun‘s [1]:

1.1 He is a fraternity brother

When all is said and done, this is a good way to get oneself involved in a new society. Many parties to attend, many new friends to make. This way is not included in Chinese campus. For us, one way is to attend the English Corner, and some avenues are to attend the associations of the school. When one is unfamiliar with a new city, these fraternities are the good way to find someone to consult the question of how to settle down better in this new environment.

Also, my African friends and Bakistam friends like to call each other "brother", even though in one occasion we have only met several times in class.

1.2 She is a sorority sister.

1.3 I am returning this book.

1.4 I want to renew this book

1.5 I just bought a brand new car

1.6 I want to be a porn star
Disclarmer: this expression is from a girl who plans to attend a masked ball.

1.7 He is really a tough guy; he takes no prisoner.
Today is a tough day for me.
The professor goes for kill.

In Chinese students‘ circle, the tough professors are called "GPA killer", because they prefer to topple down your well-calculated academic record in only one exam.

Therefore, I always believe that the choosing is better than efforts. Namely, avoid those professors. If I really want to attend these professors‘ classes to learn things, I would prefer to only attend the class but not get their credits from exams.

1.8 It‘s a cake course
It‘s a cake.
Micky Mouse

In Chinese campus culture, the case course is called "water course". By "water", we mean that it is very easy to get a high grade of the class with an easy way. Also, there are some interesting expressions concerning the "water". "The old good free rider" means that one enjoys the benefit of being in a group but does not do their duty for the group.


1.9 Which department is she in?

What‘s your major?
What are you studying?

1.10 Is there any way we can move it?
to replace the expression of "change place".



2. My collection.

Here, these expressions are from these sources (include but not limit to)—since when I write these words, I have not yet been in North America campus, what I collect are from the second hand sources:
[1] TOEFL real exams materials. Especially Fanfan He‘s summary materials of the words and prases from these exams.
[2] My English teachers who are native speakers and Chinese English teachers.
[3] My foreign classmates.

Also, I shall update this article when I encounter some new interesting expressions as time goes by.

2.1 track meet
the sport competition especially in the playground.

Hey Susan, how does your tract meet goes?
Great, I got first in one rate and second in another.

Also: track and field.

注4：校园生活

1.林肯[1]的合集：

1.1他是博爱兄弟

总而言之，这是使自己参与新社会的好方法。许多聚会参加，许多新朋友交到。这种方式不包括在中文校园内。对我们来说，一种方法是参加英语角，而某些途径是参加学校的社团。当一个人不熟悉新城市时，这些兄弟会是找人咨询如何在这种新环境中更好地安顿下来的问题的好方法。

而且，即使在一次课堂上我们只见过几次面，我的非洲朋友和巴基斯坦朋友也喜欢互相称呼“兄弟”。

1.2她是一个姐妹姐妹。

1.3我正在退还这本书。

1.4我想续订这本书

1.5我刚买了一辆新车

1.6我想成为色情明星
声明：这个表情来自一个打算参加一个假面舞会的女孩。

1.7他确实是个硬汉。他没有俘虏。
今天对我来说是艰难的一天。
教授被杀。

在中国学生圈子里，强悍的教授被称为“ GPA杀手”，因为他们宁愿只参加一次考试就推翻您精心计算的学业成绩。

因此，我始终认为选择胜于努力。即，避免那些教授。如果我真的想参加这些教授的课程来学习知识，我宁愿只参加该课程，而不希望通过考试获得他们的学分。

1.8这是蛋糕课程
是蛋糕
米奇老鼠

在中国校园文化中，案例课程被称为“水课程”。所谓“水”，是指用一种简单的方法很容易获得该课程的高分。此外，还有一些有关“水”的有趣表达。 “旧的好搭便车者”是指一个人享受与团体同在的好处，但不为团体承担责任。


1.9她在哪个部门？

你的专业是什么？
你在学什么？

1.10有什么办法可以移动它？
替换“更改地点”的表达。



2.我的收藏。

在这里，这些表达来自这些来源（包括但不限于）-自从我写这些词以来，我还没去过北美校园，所以我收集的东西来自二手来源：
[1] TOEFL真实考试材料。特别是何凡凡（Fanfan He）总结了这些考试的词汇和赞美材料。
[2]我的英语老师是母语人士和中文英语老师。
[3]我的外国同学。

另外，随着时间的流逝，当我遇到一些新的有趣的表达式时，我将更新本文。

2.1田径比赛
体育比赛，尤其是在操场上。

嗨，苏珊，你的视野如何发展？
太好了，我获得了第一名，而获得了第二名。

另外：田径。
