在哈佛模擬聯(lián)合國(guó)大會(huì)上可以學(xué)到什么？為什么每年都有來(lái)自世界各地的學(xué)生來(lái)參加這個(gè)大會(huì)

今天的這段對(duì)話(huà)，在討論哈佛模擬聯(lián)合國(guó)大會(huì)，
 
在哈佛模擬聯(lián)合國(guó)大會(huì)上可以學(xué)到什么？為什么每年都有來(lái)自世界各地的學(xué)生來(lái)參加這個(gè)大會(huì)
 
來(lái)聽(tīng)今天的講解:
 
A: Look at your room, it’s made of prizes.
 
看看你的房間，到處都是獎(jiǎng)狀。
 
B: Stop picking on me. Jealous?
 
別再挑我的刺兒了。你羨慕了？
 
A: Not a little bit.. You’re born with talents. That’s not fair.
 
相當(dāng)羨慕。你是個(gè)天才，太不公平了。
 
B: I remember there’s a Chinese saying “one minute on the stage needs ten years of practice off the stage”. I’ve paid a lot.
 
我記得中國(guó)有句俗語(yǔ)"臺(tái)上一分鐘，臺(tái)下十車(chē)功”。我付出了很多。
 
A: Don’t be so serious. I was just babbling.What’s this prize for? “Best Delegate”，
 
別那么認(rèn)真，我只是胡說(shuō)的。這個(gè)獎(jiǎng)狀是什么？ “最佳代表”。
 
B: For my outstanding performance in the Harvard Model United Nations Conference.
 
是我因在哈佛模擬聯(lián)合國(guó)（HMUN )大會(huì)上的杰出表現(xiàn)而得的獎(jiǎng)。
 
A: You’ve participated m that conference? Terrific!
 
你參加過(guò)？太棒了 ！
 
B: It，s no big deaL
 
沒(méi)什么了不起的。
 
A: Was it interesting?
 
會(huì)議有意思嗎？
 
B: Yes, of course. But instead of using the word “interesting", I would rather say it's meaningful.
 
是的，很有意思。但是我更想說(shuō)它是有意義的，而不是用“有意思”這個(gè)詞。
 
A: Did you learn a lot? Tell me what you learned,
 
你都學(xué)到了什么？
 
B: First of all, I learned that it’s organized by undergrads from Harvard. I was surprised because it’s so influential. It turned out to be a college students’ organization.
 
首先，我了解到會(huì)議是由哈佛大學(xué)的本科生組織的。為此我感到很吃驚，因?yàn)檫@個(gè)會(huì)議的影 響力很大，結(jié)果卻是一個(gè)大學(xué)的學(xué)生組織。
 
A: That’s really incredible.
 
確實(shí)難以置信。
 
B: So I make determination to be an organizer if I should go to Harvard.
 
所以我如果能去哈佛上學(xué)，我也要成為它的一個(gè)組織者。
 
A: You will. It must be interesting, exciting, and challenging to organize a HMUN Conference. I’d like to give it try if I have the chance. What else did you learn?
 
你會(huì)去的。組織HMUN大會(huì)一定很有趣，令人激動(dòng)并具有挑戰(zhàn)性。如果有機(jī)會(huì)我也想試試。還學(xué)到其他的了嗎？
 
B:I learn how to think in other people’s shoes. You know, students had to play different roles that they might have never thought about.
 
我懂得了怎樣設(shè)身處地為別人著想。你也知道，學(xué)生要扮演不同的角色，可能是他們絕對(duì)想不到的角色。
 
A: It’s important to think in a different way.
 
以不同的角度思考是很重要的。
 
B: This is very beneficial for me, I would say.
 
我想說(shuō)這一點(diǎn)讓我受益匪淺。
 
A:No wonder you're so considerate.
 
難怪你總是想得那么周到。
 
B: Thank you. Besides, because students had to debate, and sometime compromise, they needed to cooperate with others in order to solve international issues.
 
謝謝。此外，由于學(xué)生們必須要爭(zhēng)論，有時(shí)候要妥協(xié)，因此他們需要和其他人合作來(lái)解決國(guó)際問(wèn)題。
 
A: Cooperation is a word easy to say. What lacks in international negotiations is just cooperation.
 
"合作” 一詞說(shuō)起來(lái)容易做起來(lái)難。國(guó)際談判中缺的就是合作。
 
B: As far as the HMUN Conference is concerned, by cooperating with people of my age, I gained a precious opportunity to listen to and share my viewpoints with students of different backgrounds the world over,
 
就HMUN大會(huì)而言，與和我同齡的人合作，讓我有機(jī)會(huì)傾聽(tīng)并且與世界各地不同背景的學(xué)生分享我的觀(guān)點(diǎn)。
 
A: That’s quite meaningful. Most of the time, we don’t know what people from other countries think, and misunderstandings will lead to mistrusts.
 
很有意義。大多數(shù)時(shí)間，我們不知道其他國(guó)家的人的想法,由于誤解而導(dǎo)致不信任。
 
B: Absolutely! Another important thing that HMUN taught me is that every single effort can make a difference for the entire human race. Anyway, the experience of participating in HMUN at least demonstrates students" ability.
 
對(duì)極了！ HMUN讓我懂得的另一個(gè)重要的事就是，每一個(gè)單一的努力都會(huì)影響全人類(lèi)。不管怎么說(shuō)，參加HMUN至少證明了學(xué)生的能力。
 
A: There’s no doubt about that. The experience in Model United Nations has been recognized by many top universities, and is one of the evaluation criteria while enrolling students.
 
這點(diǎn)毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)。參加模擬聯(lián)合國(guó)已經(jīng)得到了許多一流大學(xué)的認(rèn)可，并且是招收學(xué)生的評(píng)估標(biāo)準(zhǔn)之一。
 
B: That’s why every year more than a thousand students from all over the world come to Boston to participate in the conference.
 
這就是為什么每年都有來(lái)自世界各地的1000多個(gè)學(xué)生來(lái)到波士頓參加這個(gè)大會(huì)。
 
A: It began to attract Chinese students in 2005. Now a Lot of Chinese students attend the conference every year.
 
從2005年開(kāi)始，中國(guó)學(xué)生也受到了HMUN的吸引?，F(xiàn)在，每年都有許多中國(guó)學(xué)生參加這個(gè)大會(huì)。
 
B: It might not occur to you that this year, it was held outside Boston, or rather outside America.
 
你可能想不到，今年的大會(huì)不在波士頓舉行，更確切地說(shuō)不在美國(guó)。
 
A: It’s held in Beijing, China.
 
今年在中國(guó)北京舉辦。
 
B: I was a little surprised, to be honest. It had never been held outside Boston.
 
說(shuō)實(shí)話(huà)，有點(diǎn)讓人吃驚。大會(huì)從來(lái)設(shè)有在波士頓以外的地方舉行過(guò)。
 
A: I think HMUN-China indicates that HMUN will expand its influence overseas. What a pity! I am not in China.
 
我認(rèn)為HMUN-中國(guó)會(huì)議表明HMUN希望擴(kuò)大其在海外的影響力。很遺憾,我不在中國(guó)。
 
B: Never mind, you can participate in the 2011 Conference. It’ll be the 58th session, and will be held in Sheraton Boston again, from January 27 to 30.
 
沒(méi)關(guān)系，你可以參加2011年的大會(huì)。那將是第58屆會(huì)議，1月27號(hào)~ 30號(hào)在波士頓喜來(lái)登酒店舉辦。
 
A: Ok, I'll prepare for it from now on.
 
太好了，我從現(xiàn)在起就開(kāi)始準(zhǔn)備。
 
B: Good luck.
 
祝你好運(yùn)！
