初来乍到,不认识校园内常听到见到的英语单词怎么办?阅读这篇文章,让你从“校园小白”摇身变为“校园老司机”!!!

 

很多初来乍到的留学生对澳洲这边的校园文化不是特别熟悉,有时会在校园中或者课室里遇到自己听不懂或看不懂的英文单词。为了帮助童鞋们攻克这个难题,早日摆脱“校园小白”的尴尬境地,小编从网上搜罗了一些校园及课室常用到的英语单词,赶快来了解一下吧!


Campus

这个单词童鞋们应该都不陌生,它就是我们常说的校园啦!

 

例句:

As I walked around the campus, this thought came to mind: How wonderful it would be to go to a university like this! 


Quad

这个单词指的是由几栋楼包围起来的一块四方形的空地,在很多澳洲高校的校园里都可以见到,童鞋们可以坐在这里的草坪上看书、学习、聊天、野餐等等。

 

例句:

Students love to hang out in the quad and have a picnic or do homework.


Matriculation

大学的入学许可,表示童鞋们可以来大学里攻读学位啦!

 

例句:

In a statement, the diocese said that incoming freshman for next fall would be guaranteed four years of matriculation at the current campus.



Censusu Date

在学校的校历上常常可以看到这个词,它指的是统计日,在这个日期之前可以退选课程而无需支付罚款。因为很多童鞋在学期开始之后会临时改变学习计划,所以只要在Census Date之前退选课程,就不需要承担课程费用,成绩单上也不会有相应的记录。

 

例句:

The census date is at the end of the fourth week of each semester.


Credit

这个词可是非常重要的,因为它指的是我们要修的学分,不同的学校,不同的科目所要求的学分是有所不同的,所以童鞋们一定要事先了解清楚,学分修不满的话可是没办法顺利毕业的!

 

例句:

He received 4 credits for completing the Introduction to Psychology class.


Dean

大学里的院系主任,以后系里面有什么事情童鞋们就去找这个人就可以啦!

 

例句:

The dean of students says the university is seeking to enhance the quality of student life.


Bursar

学校里面掌管财务的人,如果你对学费等开销有什么问题的话就可以去找这个人。

 

例句:

He said that when he walked into the bursar’s office on Friday morning with a 33-pound duffel bag full of cash, the tellers were stunned.


Academic Transcript

学术成绩单,这是由大学官方出具的文件,记录你在读书期间所有课程的注册记录和成绩。

 

例句:

They told him that if he didn’t take a leave of absence he would be involuntarily withdrawn, which would be reflected on his academic transcript.


Lecture / Tutorial

“Lecture”一般指很多学生一起上的大课,而“Tutorial”指的是规模比较小的授课形式,学生可以在课堂上有更多机会与老师和同学互动交流。

 

例句:

Every student should read the materials given in the lectures before attending the tutorials.


Seminar

一种类似研讨会的授课形式,通常以学生参与讨论为主,讲师会提出一些问题,然后学生们就这些问题展开激烈的讨论。

 

例句:

School district officials insist students are allowed to leave the classroom during seminar only for “curriculum-related activities”.


Prerequisite

预修课程,指的是在注册其它某些科目之前需要提前学习的课程。

 

例句:

Before applying to veterinary school, he started taking prerequisites in the evenings, on weekends and in summer school.


Major

学生在学校主修的专业,也就是专攻或重点研究的课程或领域。

 

例句:

A student’s major is what he or she decides will be the main focus of his or her academic career at that school.


Syllabus

这就是我们平时所说的类似教学大纲的东西,里面介绍了一门课的结构、要学习的内容、作业内容、Due Dates、评分标准等,童鞋们在学习一门课之前一定要仔细阅读Syllabus里面的内容。

 

例句:

The syllabus is a heavy mix of Koranic recitation, Arabic and theology.


好啦,以上这些就是经常会在校园内见到和使用到的词汇,童鞋们记住了吗?
