美國高三學生最討厭的8個問題
Senior year of high school can get pretty stressful -- and it doesn't help that it's nearly impossible to escape the throttle of questions that are hurled your way on a daily basis. Whether it's your parents, your guidance counselor or the mailman, not only can these questions seem repetitive and intrusive, but they can actually make you feel even more anxious than you already were.
高三的一年無疑是緊張的——而那些向高三生拋來的令人窒息的問題絲毫不能減緩他們緊張的情緒。不論是你的父母、導師，甚至是郵差都會拋來重複而尖銳的問題，這些問題更加加劇了高三生的焦慮感。
We've rounded up the top 10 most annoying, make-it-stop, squirm-worthy questions high school seniors are asked. So please, feel free to print this out and (politely) distribute it to your loved ones -- and be sure to thank them in advance.
我們評選出了高三生被問過的、最令他們困擾不已的十大問題。所以，如果你是高三生，將這些問題打印出來發送給那些關心的人們（讓他們別再問了），記得提前謝謝他們哦。
1. "Are you excited to graduate?"
1.快畢業了你開心嗎？
When I have an AP calc test/senior thesis project/scholarship app due all on Friday morning, the answer is yes. When I'm drowning my feelings in pancakes with my best friends at iHOP later that night and we're blasting "Midnight Memories" during the car ride home, it's no. It's kind of like a Taylor Swift song, now that you mention it. It's miserable. And magical. At the same time.
當我被煩人的考試和作業逼瘋的時候，我很高興我快畢業了。當我和同學們一起吃飯聊天各種 High 的時候，我對於畢業這件事有點難過。就像黴黴的那首歌唱的一樣，這件事讓我既感到痛苦又感到興奮。
2. "Where are you going to college?"
2. 你要去哪兒上大學？
Your guess is as good as mine. Also, want to help me write the five supplement essays I haven't started yet? No? Cool.
你問我我問誰啊。對了，我作業的最後幾道題還沒寫，要幫我寫嗎？不要？噢。
3. "Oh, you're applying to [insert school]? Do you know my [insert neighbor/dentist's daughter/third cousin] went there?"
3. “噢，你打算報 XXX 學校？你知道我的 [鄰居/牙醫的女兒/三侄子] 也在那兒讀書嗎？”
No, I did not. But that's great.
不，我不知道。不過挺好的。
4. "All ready for the SATs?"
4. 高考準備得怎麼樣了？
No, actually, but now that you mention it, YOU'VE GOT ME ALL STRESSED OUT AND I JUST CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS PRESSURE RIGHT NOW.
其實還沒準備好，不過你現在問起... 讓我變得非常緊張啊！！！這種緊張我 HOLD 不住啊！！！
5. "How does it feel to finally be a senior?"
5. 高三的感覺怎麼樣？
How does it feel to be a person with 10 fingers and 10 toes?
有十個手指和十個腳趾的感覺如何？6. "Are you and [current boyfriend/girlfriend] going to try and make it work?"
6. 你跟現任男/女朋友考慮過將來嗎？
This is awkward. Next question, please.
這個問題有點尷尬。下一個問題。
7. "Do you know what you want to study next year?"
7. 今後的你想要研究些什麼？
You mean the Evolution of One Direction's Hair isn't an option? Ummm... I think marine biology. With a minor in French. Maybe I'll study abroad in France. No, wait -- I want to major in comparative literature. Or poli sci. I don't know. Ask me tomorrow.
不能選擇研究小破團的髮型是麼？嗯... 我打算學海洋生物學，輔修個法語。或許我還會留學法國。不，等等，我想學比較文學。或者政治學。我不知道。明天再問我吧。
8. "Do you want to talk to [insert complete stranger]? They loved it at [insert college]."
8. 你想跟 XXX（陌生人名）聊一聊嗎？他也是在 XXX（大學名）讀的大學。”
Nope. All good.
不用。不聊也挺好。
And finally... "You must be so stressed out. Want to go grab a caffeinated sugary holiday drink with whipped cream and not talk about school?"
最後... “你一定壓力很大吧。想去喝一杯帶糖帶咖啡還淋上奶油的節日飲料嗎？我們不討論學校的事兒。”
I love you.
我愛你。
