Here are some of the many unwritten rules that every college student should know.
开门见山，以下就是大学生不可不知的"潜规则"。
SOCK ON THE DOORKNOB/DOORSOCK
门把手上的袜子
Still not sure what this means? Hm… well, how to phrase this? As might find out, some people in college engage in the “no pants dance”. During this, they place a sock on the door handle as courtesy to inform roommates that: “Hey, might not want to come in if you don’t want to be scarred for the rest of your life.” But really, does anyone still do this? Now that we have technology, it’s more common to just shoot your roommates a text that you “need the room for a while”. Some roommates have code words/phrases that serve as warnings to stay clear. You know, like:
至今都不明白这是什么意思？嗯……这个，怎么解释呢？不难发现，大学里有些人会“赤裸共舞”。在这浪漫与激情的期间，他们会出于礼貌在门把手上放一只袜子来告知室友：“喂，如果你不想余生心有阴影，就闲人免进吧。”但是，说真的，还有人这么做吗？现在科技这么发达，更多人只是发条信息给室友就好了“独占一会儿屋子”。有些室友也会事先和你商量好特殊的暗号和密语应对此事。例如：
Your roommate: Tomato. ;)
You: OoOoOo Bow chicka wow wow! … You have 1 hour.
室友：番茄。;)
你：哦哦哦啵唭洽哇哇！……给你一小时啦。
Note: The above example was completely made up, and was not taken from experience. Thank you.
注意：以上举例纯属杜撰，如有雷同，纯属巧合。谢谢。
DRINKS + PARTIES
酒水+派对
Sorry people. I don’t want to sound like your mom, but this really is important. Beware of the smoking hot senior who hands you a drink while you’re at a party. As you stare longingly into his/her eyes, a couple of sips from that drink could send you on your own little Hangover movie adventure the rest of the night. In all seriousness, it’s fine to have a good time at a party. But just be aware. You don’t want to wake up the next morning with regrets and 500 likes on that one photo of you.. wait, is that you…? are you…? er, well let’s not talk about that.[/en]
对不起，大伙儿。我并不想像你妈一样叨唠，但是这真的很重要。当高富帅或白富美的学长在派对上递给你酒水的时候一定要提高警惕。当你用渴望的眼神凝视他或她的双眸的时候，吮了几小口那杯酒水就可能使你在剩余的夜晚上演真实版的电影“宿醉”。说正经的，在派对上享受时光诶有问题。但是谨慎行事。你可不想第二天早晨醒来的时候看到你的某个照片被点击了500个“赞”而后悔莫及。等一下，那个是你吗？你不会……？呃，我们还是别说这个了。
[en]THE LAUNDRY RULE
洗衣法则
This is arguably the most important rule in this blog post. If you walk into the laundry room and find one of the washers/dryers just finish. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT IMMEDIATELY TAKE OUT SOMEONE ELSE’S LAUNDRY. There’s this unspoken rule that you have to wait at least 5 or 10 minutes before you have “permission” to move his/her laundry if the person doesn’t come back to move it. I’m not kidding when I say that people will be pissed if you touch it before that time frame.
这是此篇博文中可论证的最重要的法则。如果你走进洗衣房，找到一台刚结束的洗衣机或干燥机，千万别，再重复一遍，千万别马上拿出别人洗好的衣服。潜规则是你要等上5到10分钟如果衣主还没来取衣服你就可以得到“批准”拿出他或她洗好的衣服。我可没开玩笑，如果你没等上那一会儿就碰了别人的衣服，那人真的可能被激怒。
Note: I am talking from experience here this time. Whoever moved my laundry 1 minute after it finished back in March, I’m still coming for you!!!
注意：这次我可是依据我的真是经历而谈。那个在三月份的一天在洗衣机刚刚结束1分钟之后就有人动了我的衣服的人，我可还没放过你！
INSTANT RAMEN AS A LIFESTYLE CHOICE
泡面：生活方式的选择
This isn’t going to happen to everybody, but I just want to let you know that if it does, the first step is acceptance. Instant Ramen is nothing to be ashamed of these next couple of years. Sometimes, you just can’t afford anything better.
Just know your family will still love you. That is all.
Just know your family will still love you. That is all.
这不会发生在每一个的身上，但是我只是想告诉你如果发生了，第一个步骤就是接受。在今后的几年中，吃方便面没什么丢人的。有时，你就是吃不起更好的。记得家人一直爱你。就这些。
COLLEGE GOES BY WAY TOO FAST
大学流年已逝
Before you know it, your first year of college will be all over. (Promise I’m not trying to make you depressed!) This is just a tip for you to really enjoy all of it. The good times, the bad, your classes, and the people you meet. Some people say college is some of the best years of your life. And so far, I’d like to agree with them.
你的大学第一年会在不经意间悄然流逝。（我发誓我不是想让你郁闷！）这仅仅是个小提示告诉你真的好好享受这时光，美好的，失落的，课程，还有所有遇到的人。有些人说大学时人生中最美好的时光。至少到现在，我同意他们的说法。
Have a school year that rocks your socks. (Take that however you like.)
祝你有个超赞的学年！
