被剑桥吓到

今天收到了第二份Freshers' Pack,乱七八糟的东西特别多啊,花花绿绿的终于感觉这个大学开始不破不穷了.

先来讲一下比较恐怖的,其实这种东西应该是最不恐怖的,不过看到那么多party...
汗...
而且还有各种party啊,甚至还有类似化妆舞会的superhall,据说还是一年只有两个.感觉又想去又不太敢去...
唉,在国内都没真正party过,国外的party能承受的了吗

第二个比较吓到我的东西是gown. 读过Harry Potter原版的人对这个词都不会陌生,没读过的给大家扫扫盲:

gown
(gaJn; ^aun)
《源自拉丁文「毛皮衣服」的意思》<<名词>>
1 (C)
a. ((美.英古)) (妇女穿的) 长服
((在社交宴会上穿的正式长礼服))

→ evening gown.

b. (大学教授、学生、市长、法官、律师、教士等穿的黑色的) 工作服,学士服,法衣,礼服
an academic ~
学士服

a judge's ~
法官服

in cap and ~
穿戴学士帽与学士服

in wig and ~
穿着 (包括假发的) 正式法官服

c. 化妆时穿的宽外衣; 睡袍
d. (外科医师的) 手术衣
2 (U)[集合称] (与市民相对的) 大学的教授、学生等
town and ~
一般市民与大学人士
为什么会吓到我呢?
首先是Week的第二天就有一个学生必须参加的Gown Sale,看来是没人必买.考虑到Ron的女式gown和最后的效果,我估计我还得慎重选择一下.最怕的事情就是买衣服,再者就是买很贵又很奇怪的衣服了.
然后是一张食堂的纸,中间有讲到Formal Hall即是正餐.后面有如下一句话:
It is customary and obligatory to wear gowns in Formal Hall...
这就比较恐怖了,买也就算了,竟然吃饭还要穿,这不是要人命吗...
我传西装就够猥琐的了,还要gown,老天爷啊,救救我吧 ;)

第三点比较搞笑.大家看这句就好:
Nationally 1 in 3 students are victims of crime while they are at University.
不过下面一句较为reassuring:
Although Cambridge is one of the top 10 safest cities for students.
不过里面还附有小册子,名为"Student Survival Guide",让人感觉电视剧里的一切都可能发生
