以下为全文:
Attention Freshmen who are moving in tomorrow: A little request ... When your mom wants to unpack all of your clothes and make your bed - Let her. When your dad wants to introduce himself to all the people on your floor - Let him. When they want to take pictures of every move you make this weekend - Let them. If they embarrass you or act crazy - Let them. As you start the new chapter of your life, they are also starting the new chapter of theirs. And believe it or not, this is probably more difficult for them than it is for you. So let them treat you like their "baby" one last time.
明天入学的新生们注意了:一点小要求。你妈想帮你收拾衣服,收拾床铺的话,就随她吧。你爸想跟整个楼层的同学都打招呼,就随他吧。他们想把你这周末的一举一动都用相机拍下来,就由着他们吧。如果他们让你有些尴尬,有些疯狂的举动,由着他们吧。当你展开生命的新篇章时,他们也开始了人生新的阶段。不管你信不信,这个阶段对他们来说要更困难一些。所以,就让他们最后一次把你当“宝宝”照顾吧。
开学了,自然还是要跟大家分享一些相关的词汇的。
