Unit-1-Fresh-Start课文翻译
全新的开始我第一次开始思考我的大学要做些什么，不管怎样我的父母把我送到大学校园便开车离开了，我一个人孤零零地站在停车场，此时此刻我只想平安地找到去我宿舍的道路。
一个无法改变的事实是无论我认为自己多么成熟，我都觉得还是有点儿大一新生的稚气。
此外我还有一个烦恼就是总觉得大学里的每一个人好像都在注意我。
我只想张开耳朵闭起嘴巴希望这样就不会有人注意到我是一个大一新生。
基于这种想法，我抬起头，耸耸肩，于是一边看着手里的校园地图，一边朝着宿舍走去。
当我第一眼看到一个真正的大学足球运动员时我情不自禁地盯着他看。
那是是一个多么自信，多么淡定，肌肉多么有型的人啊。
此时我只希望能引起他注意的是我的外貌而不是我颤抖的膝盖。
我花了一下午的时间来找每一间教室的位置，这样以后上课时就可以准时赶到，而不用问我们教室在哪儿这样愚蠢的问题。
第二天的早上我去上第一节课。
然而我刚进教室，又遇到了另一件麻烦事。
我该坐哪儿呢?新生手册上说我们最好尽量往前坐。
这样就会给教授留下聪明好学又精力旺盛的印象。
仔细考虑之后，我选择了第一排靠边的一个位置。
虽然我坐在前排，但是没有在教授的视线范围之内。
我打开了我的美国文学选集然后在排版整齐的书上随便地写上日期。
“欢迎来到101教室的生物课堂，”教授开始了他的开场白。
然而我的脖子后面却冷汗直冒，我摸到了我的时间表，然后校对了一下门牌号。
我才发现我进对了教室却跑错了教学楼。
现在怎么办呢?上课期间起身离开?这样教授难道不会生气吗?我知道如果这样每个人都会盯着我看。
别胡思乱想了。
我坐在椅子上装成生物专业的学生的样子，身体稍微地向前倾，我绷紧胳膊准备疯狂地做笔记，并悄悄地骂娘。
墙上挂着的那些瓶装的蛇似乎也在暗示我应该认真点。
下课后我饿的肚子直叫，于是我飞奔到自助餐厅。
我的托盘上放着美味的三明治然后便走向了卖色拉的窗口，结果一不小心踩上了一堆番茄酱。
此时想要站直并摆脱窘境一点也不容易，我也开始控制不住我的腿。
正在我准备想别的办法时，我的托盘开始倾斜，我一下子失去了平衡。

Analysis of the text structure
In this autobiographical essay, the author recounts her embarrassing moments during her first days of college.
With a chronologically balanced pattern of narration, the author focuses on three incidents—sitting in the wrong class, falling down in the cafeteria and witnessing the upper-class football player having the same experience. Coupling narration with description, she gives us a detailed account of the process, the after-effect and the significant insight into herself.

Self-conscious persons always try to be perfect. They will be obsessed with a sense of humiliation and shame if they make mistakes. We Chinese tend to care more about our own image in others’ eyes than our own feelings and comforts. Yet in an open age with new things and ideas emerging rapidly everyday, it is necessary to embrace with a willing heart something new. Since university is one of the most vigorous and creative places, we cannot let the chance to open ourselves to a multitude of new possibilities slip by. To exploit every possible chance to develop ourselves, the first step we should take is to get released from the bondage of our fixed images.
No one can be perfect, and it is unwise to take trivial mistakes seriously. It is more important to be yourself than try to do things perfectly.
