大学校园——古典的青葱岁月

College campus --- classic years of youth

一直以为大学母校该在一个人心里占据很重要的一个位置，人对各种事物最初的幻想，最初的热切，以及那份天真的顽固，都是从那里开始的。那是一个做梦的地方。

I always believe that our alma mater colleges should occupy an important position in our hearts as they are the birthplace of our illusions, eagerness and innocent stubbornness, a place fostering dreams.

上海的高校如今建起了很多，有些大学在校园里建造了很多现代化大楼，设施不可谓不先进，可是，校园的人文环境，却不是靠砸钱就能造就的。老牌大学之所以深入人心，往往是因其独特的文化氛围，它们是有来历、有积淀的。一所好的大学，不见得因为里面的设施有多么高级，更重要的，还是里面那些有趣的建筑，有趣的人，有趣的往事。在高等学府里学习生活，不是只为掌握知识找个好工作有个好前途，说小了，是为了在成长的过程里拥有一段值得记一辈子的人生体验，说大了，是为获得一个良好的世界观。

Nowadays there is a lot of building of campuses in Shanghai, and many universities have numerous modern structures erected equipped with advanced facilities. But the cultural environment is not to be cultivated by mere big-money injection. The popularity of those reverent institutions is attributable to their characteristic cultural atmosphere, history and accumulation. What makes a good university lies in not so much high-class facilities as in interesting buildings, people and past episodes. The years of college should be spent not only acquiring knowledge in order to secure a better future; in a lesser sense, it is a time for you to gain experiences of growing up worthy of cherishing for a lifetime; in a bigger sense, it is a time for you to develop sound outlooks on the world.

好的大学，如同是一个人，有属于自己的气质与性格。比如北大、清华，都有其独特的人文环境。而像武汉大学、厦门大学这样的学府，因为依傍特殊的地理环境，或有山，或有海，校园更显漂亮，像是让人流连忘返的公园。上海缺山水美景，校园的自然风光便打了折扣，看似平平无奇。但是，上海的高校校园风格丰富，从清末民初开始，上海就陆续建造了大批中西合璧的建筑，它们分布在各个高校中，并没有被城市的变革完全覆没掉。上海的大学在全国，不是最漂亮，但是各有风情，气质迥异，在表面的规整里，有大量可看可寻的细处。它们不仅仅是个上课学知识的学堂，更是保存了无数人青葱岁月的净土。

Good universities, like people, have personalities and character of their own. Some boast of unique cultural environments, for example, Beijing University and Qinghua University. Some, blessed with landscapes of a hill or the sea, attract people like parks, among them Wuhan University and Xiamen University. For the lack of such natural landscapes, there seems to be something missing in the campuses of Shanghai. But the numerous buildings --- hybrid of Western and Eastern styles --- dating back to the late Qing Dynasty spread in universities here have not been completely demolished during the urban changes. Though not the most beautiful in China, they have each of them some distinctive character unique to their own. Besides functioning as places to acquire knowledge, they are places for innocent youths.
