3. What type of academic or professional degree am I seeking?

　　什么類型的學(xué)術(shù)或?qū)�業(yè)學(xué)位系我所求?

　　You need to weigh and consider a variety of motivations, including those that are based solely on current personal and professional realities, to determine what program you should pursue. But please don't choose your degree path on what you "think" you need。

　　在決定應(yīng)從事什么研究項(xiàng)目之前，你需要權(quán)衡和考量各種動機(jī)，包括那些單純基于當(dāng)前個(gè)人情況和專業(yè)實(shí)際的動機(jī)。但是，請不要以你“覺得”你需要這種思想來指導(dǎo)你的學(xué)位之路。

　　Instead, start with knowing your passion—what excites you and makes you want to get up every morning. Turning what really motivates and enthralls you into a career path, due in part to your graduate and professional school study and degree, will give you a broader and more fulfilling career and life experience。

　　而是去發(fā)現(xiàn)你的熱情所在——什么讓你激動，什么激勵你天天早起。某種程度上以研究生和專業(yè)在校學(xué)習(xí)和學(xué)位為導(dǎo)向，將真正激勵和吸引你的東西轉(zhuǎn)化為職業(yè)，你將獲得更廣闊的、更利于自我實(shí)現(xiàn)的職業(yè)發(fā)展空間和生活歷練。

　　4. In what geographic region do I want to study?

　　你想在哪個(gè)地區(qū)學(xué)習(xí)?

　　Perhaps you have always wanted to live in another part of the country or go abroad for graduate study. Knowing where you'd like to be will help guide your search, but be careful not to rule out certain locations completely in the early stages. During the search process, you may find an option emerge that is worth examining further。

　　可能你一直希望能在家鄉(xiāng)以外的什么地方或在國外完成研究生學(xué)習(xí)。了解你的地區(qū)喜好將有助于你做出選擇，但是，不要從一開始就完全排除掉某些地區(qū)。在選擇過程中， 你可能會突然發(fā)現(xiàn)一個(gè)值得做進(jìn)一步考查的選項(xiàng)。

　　Most graduate programs throughout the world instruct in English, so language should not be a barrier in exploring international options。

　　世界上大多數(shù)研究生項(xiàng)目的指導(dǎo)語言為英語，所以，在進(jìn)行國際性選擇時(shí)語言不應(yīng)成為障礙。

　　5. What type of learning and student experience am I seeking?

　　我希望獲得怎樣的學(xué)習(xí)和學(xué)生經(jīng)驗(yàn)?

　　Do you want an environment where faculty and students have an interactive learning approach? Are you more interested in a lecture style? Do you want to have a lot of social interaction with fellow students outside the classroom? Are you going to focus primarily on your coursework?

　　你希望在教師與學(xué)生互動式的氛圍中學(xué)習(xí)嗎?你對講演式授課更感興趣嗎?課外時(shí)間與同學(xué)頻繁進(jìn)行社會性交往是你的渴望嗎?你打算把主要精力放在功課上嗎?

　　Do you have a preference of studying at a more research-oriented institution? Do you prefer a public or private university? Remember, you're going to spend a lot of time at the school you choose, so take the time to consider the campus environment and culture to make sure it's the right fit。

　　你希望在更側(cè)重于研究的機(jī)構(gòu)學(xué)習(xí)嗎?公立和私立大學(xué)，你覺得哪個(gè)更好一些?記住，在所選學(xué)校里你將花費(fèi)很多時(shí)間，所以，仔細(xì)斟酌以確定適合你的校園環(huán)境和文化。
