Karen: What is a Middlebury experience? What makes a Middlebury student? Now, it's obviously, there's no one Middlebury type of student, but give me some descriptor.
什么是明德学院的体验？明德学院的学生是什么样的？显然，没有一种固定的明德学生类型，但请给我一些描述。
George: I'm study double major in art, history and environmental science. So similar major to Karen, I think. And then I would say, yes, I think Middlebury students don't have a set of the trades like you can describe in several words. But I think one thing people share in common is this entrepreneurial spirit, and also this commitment towards each other. If someone promise you something, they will try their best to do it. And also people are super talented in every aspect you can think of there. I met students who can do DJ and also like same times writing poems and then preparing for the interview for Morgan Stanley. So like you just see them going everywhere.
我是艺术史和环境科学的双专业学生，和Karen的专业有些相似。我觉得明德学生并没有一种固定的特质可以用几个词来概括，但我认为大家有一个共同点，那就是创业精神和对彼此的承诺。如果有人答应了你什么，他们会尽全力去做到。而且，这里的学生在各个方面都非常有才华。我遇到过既能当DJ、写诗，同时又在为摩根士丹利的面试做准备的学生。你会看到他们在各个领域都表现出色。
Sophia: I'm currently a sophomore at Middlebury. I am a double major in film and economics. I think one thing about Middlebury student, I would say, is their commitment into global issues. It sounds kind of the cliche. But one thing that really impressed me when I first came here is how everyone is such global citizens, like everyone are so committed in global issues and have such diverse and interesting and global experiences.
我现在是明德学院的大二学生，主修电影和经济学双专业。我觉得明德学生的一个特点是他们对全球问题的关注。这听起来可能有点老生常谈，但当我刚来到这里时，让我印象深刻的是，每个人都是如此具有全球视野，大家都非常关注全球问题，并且拥有丰富多样且有趣的国际经历。
Will: I'm a junior of feb, majoring in economics, and minor in philosophy and music. I totally agree with what George and Sophia said so far. George himself as DJ i've seen him amazing. And so the talent is definitely true, especially in a smaller school where you were, where I think you got a lot of like per student resources so that whatever you're interested in, whatever your talent lays, you really have a lot more opportunity to let them shine or just to explore different aspects of yourself.
我是明德学院的新生（2月），主修经济学，辅修哲学和音乐。我完全同意George和Sophia刚才说的。George本人就是一位DJ，我见过他的精彩表现。才华这一点绝对没错，尤其是在这样一所小学校，人均资源非常丰富，所以无论你对什么感兴趣，无论你的才华在哪里，你都有更多的机会让它们发光发亮，或者探索自己的不同方面。
I also wanted to touch on just probably smaller things. I have met some of the most amazing people here. It is the level of support i've been able to receive, not only from from like, so from students, from my friends, but also from staff and faculty members. I used to drop into some of my professors’ office hours, really literally just a chat or sometimes just talk about things that may not be really that class related. Or I can just have an in person good conversation with my dean, about what's going on with my life. And they will show general like genuine care about you, about your development. I think that's something you can only find in liberal arts colleges.
我还想提到一些小事。我在这里遇到了一些最棒的人。我得到的支持不仅来自同学和朋友，还来自教职工。我经常去一些教授的办公室，真的只是聊天，有时候谈论的内容甚至和课程无关。我还可以和我的院长面对面聊我的生活近况，他们会真诚地关心你，关心你的成长。我觉得只有在文理学院中才能获得这些体验。
