题目：“斯坦福社区充满好奇心，无论在课堂内还是课堂外，都热衷于学习。反思一个让你真正对学习感到兴奋的想法或经历。（100-250 字）”

英文原文

It’s in the mail.

It’s here.

I rip open the package.

It feels sleek along my fingertips. Three volumes. Gorgeous red binding with stunning silver lettering. THE Feynman LECTURES ON PHYSICS The NEW MILLENIUM Edition

I had heard about them previously, but a Quora thread on “essential physics texts” convinced me to invest in them. I thought I was buying a textbook, but I was buying a new way of life. That night, while I laid in bed, Feynman changed my entire perspective of the universe. In the first lecture.

Not only was he a Nobel prize winning physicist with a unique approach to the subject, but his pedagogical capabilities were perfectly suited to my personality. When Feynman teaches, he does not just teach physics, he teaches how to think and understand. He helped me recognize that my passion wasn’t for physics, it was for a passion for learning and understanding.

Spoken directly from the source: “I don't know anything, but I do know that everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough.”

Reading the Lectures rouses within me the most intense feeling of elation I have ever experienced. When I open the Lectures, any bad mood is erased, any haze in my mind is cleared away, and I become the person I strive to be.

Now, I always have at least one of the Lectures on me. At festivals, in backpacks, in carryons, if I am there, so are the Lectures.

它在邮件里。

它就在这儿。

我撕开包裹。

它摸起来手感顺滑。三卷。华丽的红色装帧，配以精美的银色字样。《费曼物理学讲义》新千年版。

我之前听说过这些书，但 Quora 上关于“基本物理学教材”的帖子说服了我购买这本书。我以为我买的是一本教科书，但我买的是一种新的生活方式。那天晚上，当我躺在床上时，费曼改变了我对宇宙的整个看法。在第一堂课上。

他不仅是一位诺贝尔物理学奖得主，对这一学科有着独到的见解，而且他的教学能力也非常适合我的个性。费曼授课时，不仅教授物理只是，还教授如何思考和理解。他帮助我认识到，我的热情不在于物理，而在于学习和理解。

直接从源头说：“我什么都不知道，但我知道如果你深入研究，一切都会很有趣。”

读完《讲座》让我内心涌起前所未有的兴奋感。当我打开《讲座》时，所有的坏心情都消失了，我心中的阴霾也一扫而空，我成为了我努力成为的人。

现在，我身上总是至少带着一本《讲座》。在节日里，在背包里，在手提包里，只要我在，就会带着《讲座》。

题目：“告诉我们一些对你有意义的事情以及原因。（100-250 字）”

英文原文

A meaningful discussion can be found deep in the jungle of YouTube, during an obscure “CBS This Morning” interview with Bill Murray.

“What do you want, that you don’t have?” - Charlie Rose

Bill Murray - “I’d like to be here all the time, and just see what I could get done, what I could do if I really, you know, didn’t cloud myself... if I were able to... to not get distracted. To not change channels in my mind and body, to be my own channel.”

Death is scary but my slimy, monolithic, Lovecraftian fear is unengagement. I only have a brief time to experience life and I know I will find the most fulfillment in “[seeing] what I could get done.” When I feel that signature fuzzy, tired feeling in my head, I am reminded of my old night terrors; I would be awake yet unable to interact with my surroundings.

In sophomore year, when I discovered my passion for physics, I found a powerful way to stay engaged. Developing a passion fundamentally requires me, as Murray puts it, “to be my own channel.” Problem solving, understanding difficult concepts, having intense discussions all demand your mind to be present and I am more than happy to oblige.

Intellectual vitality is not my application buzzword, it is my lifestyle.

中文翻译

在 YouTube 的丛林深处，我们可以找到一次很有意义的讨论，在“CBS今晨”对比尔·莫瑞的一次鲜为人知的采访中。

查理·罗斯问道：“你想要什么，而你却没有？”

比尔·莫瑞回答：“我希望一直待在这里，看看我能做些什么，如果我真的不让自己陷入困境......如果我能够......不分心。不改变我的思想和身体的频道 做我自己的频道。”

死亡固然可怕，但我最害怕的是无法参与其中。我只有短暂的时间来体验生活，我知道我将在“[看看]我能做些什么”中找到最大的成就感。当我感觉到脑子里那种标志性的模糊、疲惫的感觉时，我就会想起以前的夜惊；我会醒着，却无法与周围的环境互动。

高二时，当我发现自己对物理的热情时，我找到了一种保持投入的有效方法。从根本上说，培养激情需要我，正如穆雷所说，“成为我自己的频道”。解决问题、理解难懂的概念、进行激烈的讨论，所有这些都要求你的头脑保持清醒，而我非常乐意这样做。

智力活力不是我的应用流行语，而是我的生活方式。

题目：“您可以使用下面的空间来提供您希望分享的任何其他信息。（650字）”

英文原文

It is just a little over two years since I discovered my passion. I have been dealing with puberty for longer and I barely have a handle on that. Passion is the primary motivating component of my personality, and the most demonstrative of who I am.

As a consequence, I have focused most of my essays on how I developed that passion rather than talk about other events that have shaped my personality. I will use this space to address the three most significant external influences in my life, dealing with public school bureaucracy, dealing with home life, and dealing with family life.

Public School Bureaucracy: After sophomore year, I was enrolled for AP Physics 2, ecstatic to continue on my path. However, I was kicked out of the course due to a lack of spots. This is understandable as they do not have unlimited space, however, physics was my passion and I was willing to fight for it. It seems reasonable to me that anyone willing to actually fight for the course should be prioritized, as many enrolled do not really care for the course. I went through the entire administration all the way up to the principal, and at every turn encountered hard “no’s”. Ms. Johnson, my recommender, helped me find a way around. The only way to continue on my path in physics was to skip AP Physics 2 and go directly into AP Physics C. This also required skipping precalculus and going directly into Calculus BC. I committed to it. I have dealt with this “scholastic inertia” throughout my life, and maneuvering it has helped me develop confidence and conviction when working with my education.

Home Life: I live with my sister and father. My dad is an unemployed musician, I love him, but he is entirely absent as a parent. I see him perhaps twice a week, and mostly in passing. The money he is making is nowhere near enough to live in San Francisco, so most of our rent and necessities are paid for by my Grandma who conveniently lives about 50 miles away. Every two weeks, she gives my sister and I $200 to support us. I have lived with my father since starting high school. While perhaps not preferable, the situation has given me the perfect environment to develop the most efficient methods of approaching adult responsibilities. I’m responsible for shopping, cooking, cleaning, and occasionally paying the bills (my dad forgets to pay the electricity bill a lot). I have been planning meals since sophomore year, and in my humble opinion, I have become a master chef. Doing the shopping has resulted in a lot more awareness of the necessities of life and managing finances. This year, my sister moved in as she started high school at my school. While raising her at the same time as writing college apps and school is difficult, surprisingly enough, cooking is much easier for two than one.

Family Life: I made the decision to push myself harder than ever before at Stanford High School Summer College, and took 13 units of accelerated college credit at one of the most prestigious universities in the world. Halfway through the summer, my mother’s alcoholism progressed to an almost fatal point, and she enrolled into rehab after 30 years of dependence. (The only reason she chose her centre over any other is because it was the place where Jerry Garcia died. That’s my family in a nutshell for you.) I spent 4 of the 8 weekends at Stanford commuting 50 miles up north to visit and support her. This was my first encounter in my education with pushing myself too far, and I knew I could not fully take advantage of the Stanford courses if I had to manage 13 units, so I dropped down to 12. I ended up with a 4.0 overall.

中文翻译

自从我发现自己的激情以来，才过去两年多一点。我经历青春期的时间更长，而我却几乎无法控制自己。激情是我性格中最主要的激励因素，也是最能体现我是谁的因素。

因此，我的大部分文章都集中在如何培养这种激情上，而不是谈论塑造我个性的其他事件。我将利用这篇文章来谈谈对我生活影响最大的三个外部因素，即公立学校的官僚作风、家庭生活和家庭生活。

公立学校的官僚主义：高二结束后，我报名参加了AP物理Ⅱ的学习，欣喜若狂地想继续走自己的路。然而，由于名额不够，我被踢出了这门课程。这是可以理解的，因为他们没有无限的名额，但是，物理是我的爱好，我愿意为之奋斗。在我看来，任何愿意为这门课程而奋斗的人都应该得到优先考虑，因为很多人报名时并不真正关心这门课程。我找遍了整个行政部门，直到校长，每一次都遇到了硬性的 “拒绝”。我的推荐人约翰逊女士帮我找到了办法。要继续我的物理之路，唯一的办法就是跳过AP物理Ⅱ，直接进入AP物理C。我答应了。我一生都在与这种 “学业惰性” 打交道，而克服这种 “学业惰性” 帮助我在学习中树立了信心和信念。

居家生活：我与妹妹和父亲住在一起。我父亲是一名失业的音乐家，我爱他，但他完全没有尽到做父母的职责。我每周大概见他两次，而且大多是顺便。他挣的钱远远不够在旧金山生活，所以我们的大部分房租和生活必需品都由我奶奶支付，她住在大约50英里之外。每两周，她会给我和妹妹200美元的生活费。我从高中开始就和父亲住在一起。这种情况也许并不可取，但却为我提供了一个完美的环境，让我能够以最有效的方法来承担成年人的责任。我负责购物、做饭、打扫卫生，偶尔还要付账单（我父亲经常忘记付电费）。从高二开始，我就开始计划膳食，依我看来，我已经成了大厨师。购物让我对生活必需品和财务管理有了更多的认识。今年，我的妹妹搬了过来，因为她开始在我的学校读高中。虽然在写大学申请和上学的同时抚养她很困难，但令人惊讶的是，两个人做饭要比一个人容易得多。

家庭生活：在斯坦福高中暑期学院，我决定比以往任何时候都更加努力，在世界上最负盛名的大学之一修读了13个单元的大学学分速成课程。暑假过半时，我母亲的酒精中毒发展到了几乎致命的地步，在依赖酒精30年后，她进入了康复中心。(她选择康复中心而不是其他地方的唯一原因是，杰瑞·加西亚就是在那里去世的。这就是我的家庭。） 我在斯坦福大学度过了8个周末中的4个周末，往返于50英里之外的北方探望并支持她。这是我在求学过程中第一次遇到把自己逼得太紧的情况，我知道如果我必须完成13个单元的课程，我就无法充分利用斯坦福大学课程的优势，所以我把学分降到了12个单元。最后，我的总成绩达到了4.0。

题目：“斯坦福社区充满好奇心，无论在课堂内还是课堂外，都热衷于学习。反思一个让你真正对学习感到兴奋的想法或经历。（100-250 字）”

英文原文

What’s more probable: dying from a shark attack, or dying from falling airplane parts? Surprisingly, the answer is falling airplane parts. But why does our intuition point us towards shark attacks?

The answer lies in the availability heuristic, or the WYSIATI (“what you see is all there is”) rule, which describes how our minds evaluate decisions based on how easily we can think of examples to support both sides. From Jaws to YouTube surfer videos, we have all likely heard of a horrific shark attack, and by WYSIATI, the ease with which we conjure up that memory leads us to assign greater probability.

Learning about WYSIATI evolved the way I communicate my ideas. When I first started debate, I over-focused on comparing statistics at the expense of clearly communicating larger arguments. WYSIATI taught me that a more effective approach involves weaving in memorable images like that of a horrific shark attack.

This past summer, when debating whether labeling environmental activists as “eco- terrorists” is justified, my opponents cited dozens of crimes associated with activists from 1995-2002. With my knowledge of WYSIATI, I looked past the numbers and searched for more memorable, image-based examples and discovered that most of the so-called terrorist acts were actually “pie-ings”: environmental groups throwing pies to protest. So, instead of responding with only numbers, I declared that “the only thing that could make pie-ings terrorist acts is if the activists didn’t know how to make a good key lime pie!”

Much clearer. And perhaps, a little bit funnier.

中文翻译

哪种情况更有可能发生：死于鲨鱼袭击，还是死于飞机部件坠落？令人惊讶的是，答案是飞机部件坠落。但为什么我们的直觉会将我们指向鲨鱼袭击呢？

答案在于可用性启发法，或 WYSIATI（“所见即所得”）规则，它描述了我们的大脑如何根据我们能想到支持双方例子的难易程度来评估决策。从《老师鲨》到 YouTube 冲浪视频，我们都可能听说过可怕的鲨鱼袭击事件，而根据 WYSIATI，我们回忆起那段记忆的难易程度会让我们分配更大的概率。

学习“所见即所得”改变了我表达观点的方式。当我第一次开始辩论时，我过于注重比较统计数据，而忽略了清晰地表达更大的论点。“所见即所得”让我明白，更有效的方法是编织令人难忘的图像，比如可怕的鲨鱼袭击。

去年夏天，在辩论是否应该将环保活动家贴上“生态恐怖分子”的标签时，我的对手列举了 1995 年至 2002 年间与活动家有关的数十起犯罪。凭借我对 WYSIATI 的了解，我忽略了数字，寻找更令人难忘的基于图像的例子，发现大多数所谓的恐怖行为实际上是“扔馅饼”：环保组织扔馅饼以示抗议。因此，我没有只用数字来回应，而是宣称“如果活动家不知道如何制作美味的酸橙派，那么馅饼就只能算作恐怖行为！”

更清晰了。而且可能更有趣一点。

题目：“斯坦福大学几乎所有本科生都住在校园里。给你未来的室友写一封信，透露一些关于你的事情，或者帮助你的室友以及我们更好地了解你。（250 字）”

英文原文

3:13AM

Hiya roomie! Please forgive the email at this late hour—my energy levels are directly proportional to how late it gets.

I figured I’d introduce myself before we meet at NSO. Here are some cool (I hope) things about me:First off, true to my mountainous heritage, I’m quite outdoorsy, having spent many weekends trekking around state parks. I can’t wait to explore these uncharted waters— wanna join me on a trip later this week to SLAC?

I should warn you beforehand: I explore at an unusually zippy pace and tend to perk up at minor disturbances. That’s because a bluebird day in my state can change into a roaring thunderstorm within just a few minutes, turning Fourteener hikers into lightning rods, so I’ve learned to always be on the lookout.

Oh, and no matter what I’m doing, there’s always music in the background. You’ll notice that I have profound kinetic responses to melodies, which come in the form of flailing my arms during the climactic moments of symphonies. I guess music really does move me!

What kind of songs do you like? I love to recreate radio music with my violin—feel free to request a song anytime, and I promise I’ll give it my best effort!

Lastly, I must share that there are things I will miss as I leave home. Most of all, I will miss biking with my sister around the neighbourhood. So, hopefully you won’t mind my daily family FaceTimes after each day’s festivities!

See you soon! :)

凌晨 3:13

嗨，室友！请原谅我这么晚还在发邮件，我的精力与时间成正比。

我想在 NSO 见面之前先自我介绍一下。以下是一些关于我的很酷的事情（我希望如此）：首先，我的山地血统使我非常喜欢户外活动，我曾花了很多周末在州立公园里徒步旅行。我迫不及待地想探索这些未知的水域--本周晚些时候，想和我一起去拉丁美洲和加勒比科学中心吗？

我得事先提醒你：我探险的步伐异常轻快，稍有风吹草动就会惊慌失措。这是因为在我所在的州，蓝鸟翱翔的日子可能在几分钟内就变成轰鸣的雷雨，让徒步旅行者变成避雷针，所以我学会了时刻保持警惕。

对了，不管我在做什么，背景音乐总是必不可少的。你会注意到，我对旋律有很深的动力反应，在交响乐的高潮部分，我会甩动手臂。我想音乐真的能打动我！

你喜欢什么样的歌曲？我喜欢用小提琴重现广播音乐--欢迎随时点歌，我保证会全力以赴！

最后，我必须告诉大家，离开家乡后我会想念一些东西。最让我怀念的是和姐姐一起骑自行车逛小区。所以，希望你们不会介意我每天在庆祝活动结束后的家庭 FaceTimes！

再见 :)
