哈佛大学校园生活情景对话：哈佛深红报

John is reading the newspaper before class.

H: Han Meimei J: John

H: Hey, John, what are you reading?

H:嗨，约翰，你在看什么?

J： The Harvard Crimson.

J：在看《哈佛深红报》。

H: Is it a newspaper published by Harvard University?

H：这是哈佛大学出版的吗?

J: Not exactly, it’s published by Harvard Crimson, Inc.

J：不完全是，是哈佛深红公司出版的。

H: Is there a difference?

H:不是一样的吗?

J: The company is independent of the university.

J：哈佛深红公司是独立于哈佛大学的。

H: I got it. A lot of universities have their own presses, and the presses have their own staff, and make their own money.

H:我知道了。很多大学有自己的出版社，出版社有自己的员工为自己赚钱。

J: Right. But this one is out of the ordinary. It’s non-profit, and its staff is all undergrads from Harvard College.

J：对，但是这是一个例外。它是非盈利的，而且里面的员工都是哈佛学院的学生。

H: Really? Did I hear it wrong?

H:真的?我没有听错吧?

J : The newspaper is absolutely run by the Harvard College undergraduate students.

J：报刊完全是由哈佛学院的本科生管理的。

H: Amazing! Enough to make a cat speak!

H:哇，真是令入惊讶

J： Don’t appear like Columbus having discovered the New Continent.

J：别一副哥伦布发现新大陆的样子。

H: But I’m really quite shocked. It may be common for students to establish a newspaper. I’ve never heard such a thing as a newspaper run by undergrads can develop into a corporation.

H:但是我真的很惊讶。学生创建一个报刊也许很平常，但我从来没听说过由大学生 管理的报社能够成为一家公司。

J： It's no surprise that you’re so surprised. Few college newspapers in America have their own printing presses, and The Crimson is one of the few.

J:你这么惊讶也不奋怪。因为在美国，几乎没有什么大学报刊有自己的印刷设备， 哈佛大学深红就是少有的一家。

H: You should have told me that earlier. You made me look like a mug.

H:你应该早点告诉我，弄得我像个傻子一样。

J： Sorry, no offense at all.

J：不好意思，我不是故意的。

H: So the newspaper is nan-profitable, and independent of the university. Am I right?

H:所以说报社是不盈利的，并且独立于大学，对吗?

J： Yes, all decisions on the content and day-to-day operations of the newspaper are made by undergraduates, having nothing to do with the university administration.

J：对，报刊的内容和日常管理都是由学生自己决定的，与大学的行政管理设有任何关系

H: Harvard students are, how can I put it, geniuses, given the size of the newspaper.

H:这些学生简直是，怎么说呢，是天才，考虑到报纸的规模。

J: It is one of the first-class universities in the world. You know, a good university is what it is because its students are outstanding.

J：哈佛是世界上最好的大学之一。你也知道，学校好是因为它的学生很优秀。

H: Right. What the newspaper is about?

H:对，报刊有些什么内客啊?

J: It covers everything, from student activities to arts, anything you can think of.

J：它覆盖了所有东西，从学生的活动到艺术，任何你能想到的都有。

H: It sure is big.

H:还真是包罗万象啊。

J： Although it’s all-inclusive，it has adhered to journalistic integrity.

J：尽管它包罗万象，但它仍然保持新闻的完整性。

H: That deserves respect. How often does it come out?

H:那是值得尊重的，那多久出一期啊?

J： One day. It’s daily newspaper, and is the only daily newspaper in our city. It comes out every morning.

J：—天一期，是我市唯一的日报，每天早上出。

H: Does it have enough staff, or students to report the news?

H:有足够的员工或者是学生报道新闻吗?

J: I guess so. And I believe that as long as you become one of them, you can become an editor soon,

J：我想有，而且我相信如果你成为其中一员，你会很快成为一个编辑。

H: An editor? Can I?

H:编辑?我可以吗?

J: Yes, you can do it.

J:你可以的。

H: Not again! I read from your face that you’re trying to make a monkey out of me.

H:少来，你出我洋相吧。

J: Whoops! You saw me through.

J:哎哟，被你看穿了。

H: It’s so transparent. Tell me what’s going on.

H:太明显了。那是怎么一回事啊。

J: It’s quite easy to be an editor of The Crimson. As long as you complete a series of requirements known as the “comp", you can be “elected” an “editor” of the newspaper.

J：成为深红的编辑是很容易的。只要你能够完成"comp"提出的一系列要求，你就 能成为报刊的编辑。

H: Too good to be true.

H:这让人难以置信!

J： Trust me. All staff members of The Crimson, including writers, photographers, and graphic designers, are technically “editors”.

J:相信我，深红里面所有的员工，包括作者，摄影师和图像设计师技术上都是编辑。

H: That’s a little cheap.

H:有点虚伪。

J: Don’t look down upon it. Many editors turned out to be Pulitzer Prize-winners, and even Presidents, for example President Franklin D. Roosevelt and President John F. Kennedy.

J:不要小看啊，有许多编辑后来获得了普利策奖，甚至成为总统，比如说富兰克林?罗 斯福总统和约翰?肯尼迪总统。

H: Impressive. Anyway, “editor” wins more respect Another question I’ve been meaning to ask you, why is the newspaper called The Crimson? Is it because crimson is Harvard's color?

H:真让人印象深刻。无论如何，编辑会赢得更多尊重。我还想问你一个问题，为什 么报刊名为深红?是因为哈佛的颜色是深红色吗?

J: Bingo!

J： 对啦!
