想在大学校园里找到学习的地方,恐怕没那么容易。就算你非常幸运,在某一阶段可以免受室友打扰,独自使用寝室,但是,你仍需时不时地换换风景。以下十个地方是校园学习的最佳去处。
1.Look for nooks and crannies in the undergraduate library. See if you can rent a carrel or small study room. Head to a floor you've never been to before. Check out the stacks and find a small table pushed against a wall somewhere. There are undoubtedly little spaces you can find that will help you focus on your task(s) at hand.
1.前往本科图书馆寻找可以学习的角落和缝隙。看看能否租下一间小型阅览室或自习室。到那些你从未去过的楼层。查看书库,接着找出一张靠墙的小桌子。毫无疑问,你一定能在那里发现利于专注手头任务的小空间。
2.Check out the graduate libraries.Head to the medical, business, or law library for a completely different scene. Nice furniture, quiet study rooms, and nicer digs are much more common here, and you'll be less likely to bump into (and get distracted by) people you know.
2.前往研究生图书馆。前往医疗藏书室、商业藏书室、法律藏书室,以体验截然不同的学习环境。这里有舒适的尼斯家具、安静的学习环境、钻研学习的学生。此外,在这里,你不大可能碰到(令你分心的)认识的人。
3.Check out the smaller libraries on campus.Many large schools have tiny libraries scattered around. Ask for a directory of libraries and find one that is small, not busy ... and perfect for getting some work done.
3.前往较小的图书馆。许多大型校园含有若干小型图书馆,分散在校园各处。翻阅图书馆名录,找出一座面积小、入座率低……适合学习的图书馆。
4. Head to the campus coffee shop.If you work best with some background noise and a distraction now and then (not to mention having access to food and drinks), the campus coffee shop may be a good bet.
4.前往校园咖啡店。如果你在有背景噪声、偶尔会分散注意力(更不用说获得食物和饮料)的环境下,效率最高。那么,校园咖啡店将是一个不错的选择。
5. Head outside.Reading out on a lawn (weather permitting, of course) can be a great way to get some fresh air, clear your mind, and still get some work done. If you're worried about running into people you know, head to a part of campus you (and your friends) don't usually visit.
5.前往室外。在草坪上看书(若天气允许),可以呼吸新鲜空气、放松大脑,同时还可以完成一些工作。若担心撞见熟人影响学习,可前往自己(和朋友们)不常去的其他地方。
6. Check out empty classrooms.You don't have to be in class to take advantage of a nice classroom: if a room is unoccupied, feel free to claim it as your own and get to work.
6.寻找空教室。你并非只能在课堂时间才能利用教室学习:若找到空教室,尽可据为己有,进行工作。
7. Utilize the campus computer labs.You don't have to be using a computer to take advantage of the quiet atmosphere that most labs provide. Grab your work, your laptop, and an empty seat at a table and enjoy the lack of noise and distraction.
7.利用校园计算机实验室。你并非只有在实验室使用计算机,才能享受实验室的安静氛围。你可以带上作业、笔记本电脑,找到桌边的空座位,尽情投入到没有噪音和干扰的学习环境中。
8. Camp out in the dining hall during off hours.When everyone is free for lunch, the dining halls are totally chaotic. But between meals, they can be quiet and peaceful. Grab a snack and enjoy the large table space you wouldn't otherwise have access to.
8.在非营业期时间前往餐厅。到了就餐时间,餐厅往往异常嘈杂。但是,在饭点之间,餐厅通常安宁平静。因此,你可以点份小吃,享受这难得的超大空间。
9. Peek into a writing/resource/tutoring/learning center.Many campuses offer resources for students working on projects. Even if you're not meeting with any of the center's volunteers or staff members, see if you can work there for a few hours.
9.留意写作/资源/辅导/学习中心。许多学校为参加项目的学生提供资源。即便你没有与中心的志愿者或工作人员会过面,也可以看看能否在这些地方学习一段时间。
10. Head to larger venues that aren't in use.Large theaters or music halls often aren't in use all the time. Head to one of these areas for some quiet time in a place that can help free your mind from distraction. Reading Shakespeare in an empty theater may be just what you need to get into your assignment!
10.前往未占用的较大场所。通常来说,大剧院或音乐厅不会一直使用。前往这些场所获得片刻安静的时光。这些地方令人放松大脑,免受外界的干扰。或许,在空剧院大声朗读莎士比亚的作品正是你需要完成的任务!
