英語作文帶翻譯：你的決定

　　Do your best in classes, but don’t let pressure get to you. Your mother and I have no expectations for your grades. If you graduate and learn something in your four years, we would feel happy. Your Columbia degree will take you far, even if you don’t graduate with honors. So please don’t give yourself pressure。During your last few months in high school, you were so happy because there was little pressure and college applications are finished. But in the past few weeks, we saw you are beginning to worry (did you know you bite your nails when you are nervous?). Please don’t be worried. The only thing that matters is that you learned. The only metric you should use is that you tried. Grades are just silly letters that give the vain people something to brag, and the lazy people something to fear. You are too good to be either。

　　在功課上要盡力，但不要給自己太多壓力。你媽媽和我在成績上對(duì)你沒什么要求，只要你能順利畢業(yè)并在這四年里學(xué)到了些東西，我們就會(huì)很高興了。即便你畢業(yè)時(shí)沒有獲得優(yōu)異的成績，你的哥倫比亞學(xué)位也將帶你走得很遠(yuǎn)。所以別給自己壓力。在你高中生活的最后幾個(gè)月，因?yàn)閴毫Ρ容^小，大學(xué)申請(qǐng)也結(jié)束了，你過得很開心，但是在最近的幾個(gè)星期，你好像開始緊張起來。(你注意到你緊張時(shí)會(huì)咬指甲嗎?)千萬別擔(dān)心，最重要的是你有在學(xué)習(xí)，你需要的唯一衡量是你的努力程度。成績只不過是虛榮的人用以吹噓和慵懶的人所恐懼的無聊數(shù)字而已，而你既不虛榮也不慵懶。

　　Most importantly, make friends and be happy. College friends are often the best in life, because during college you are closer to them physically than to your family. Also, going through independence and adulthood is a natural bonding experience. Pick a few friends and become really close to them – pick the ones who are genuine and sincere to you. Don’t worry about their hobbies, grades, looks, or even personalities. You have developed some real friendships in high school in your last two years, so trust your instinct, and make new friends. You are a genuine and sincere person – anyone would enjoy being your friend, so be confident, outgoing, and pro-active. If you think you like someone, tell her. You have very little to lose. Give people the benefit of the doubt; don’t stereotype and be forgiving. People are not perfect, so as long as they are genuine and sincere, trust them and be good to them. They will give back. This is my secret of success – that I am genuine with people and trust them (unless they do something to lose my trust). Some people tell me that occasionally I would be taken advantage of. They are right, but I can tell you that that loss is nothing compared to what I gained. In my last 18 years leading people, I have realized that only one thing matters – to gain the trust and respect of others, and to do so, you need to trust and respect others first. Whether it is for management, work, or friendship, this is something you should ponder。

　　最重要的是在大學(xué)里你要交一些朋友，快樂生活。大學(xué)的朋友往往是生命中最好的朋友，因?yàn)樵诖髮W(xué)里你和朋友能夠近距離交往。另外，在一塊兒成長，一起獨(dú)立，很自然地你們就會(huì)緊緊地系在一起，成為密友。你應(yīng)該挑選一些真誠誠懇的朋友，跟他們親近，別在乎他們的愛好、成績、外表甚至性格。你在高中的最后兩年已經(jīng)交到了一些真正的朋友，所以盡可以相信自己的直覺，再交一些新朋友吧。你是一個(gè)真誠的人，任何人都會(huì)喜歡跟你做朋友的，所以要自信、外向、主動(dòng)一點(diǎn)，如果你喜歡某人，就告訴她，就算她拒絕了，你也沒有損失什么。以最大的善意去對(duì)人，不要有成見，要寬容。人無完人，只要他們很真誠，就信任他們，對(duì)他們友善。他們將給你相同的回報(bào)，這是我成功的秘密——我以誠待人，信任他人(除非他們做了失信于我的事)。有人告訴這樣有時(shí)我會(huì)被占便宜，他們是對(duì)的，但是我可以告訴你：以誠待人讓我得到的遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過我失去的。在我做管理的18年里，我學(xué)到一件很重要的事——要想得到他人的信任和尊重，只有先去信任和尊重他人。無論是管理、工作、交友，這點(diǎn)都值得你參考。

　　Do keep your high school friends, and stay connected to them, but do not use them as substitutes for college friendship, and do not spend too much time with them, because that would eat into your time to make new friends。

　　要和你高中時(shí)代的朋友保持聯(lián)系，但是不要用他們來取代大學(xué)的友誼，也不要把全部的時(shí)間都花在老朋友身上，因?yàn)槟菢幽憔蜁?huì)失去交新朋友的機(jī)會(huì)了。

　　Start planning for your summers early – what would you like to do? Where would you like to live? What would you like to learn? What have you learned in college that might change your mind? I think your plan of studying fashion is good, and you should decide where you want to be, and get into the right courses. We of course hope you come back to Beijing, but you should go where you think is best for you。

　　你還要早點(diǎn)開始規(guī)劃你的暑假——你想做什么?你想呆在哪兒?你想學(xué)點(diǎn)什么?你在大學(xué)里學(xué)習(xí)是否會(huì)讓你有新的打算?我覺得你學(xué)習(xí)藝術(shù)設(shè)計(jì)的計(jì)劃很不錯(cuò)，你應(yīng)該想好你該去哪兒學(xué)習(xí)相應(yīng)的課程。我們當(dāng)然希望你回到北京，但是最終的決定是你的。
