毕业对于我们意味着什么呢？离开学校就意味着我们真的毕业了吗？
大家在听写的过程中，总是反应还没写完一句话，就已经忘记要写什么了。大家可以采用首字母记录的方式，听后补全。
答案和解析来喽：
Technically, most of us leave school at 18,
理论上讲，大多数人十八岁毕业，
an event that tends to be vividly etched in memory and surrounded by considerable ceremony and emotion.
毕业总是铭刻在人们的记忆之中，伴随着着盛大的典礼和丰沛的情感。
And yet, rather oddly, despite appearances, many of us in fact don’t manage to leave school at that point at all.
然而，十分奇怪的是，尽管看上去如此，许多人其实没能在毕业时真正脱离学校。
In a part of our minds, we may still be there, deep into adulthood, not sitting in a classroom precisely,
在我们内心深处，我们可能仍身处校园，尽管早已成年，也不再真真切切地坐在教室里，
but in terms of how our minds work, as much stuck within the confines of a school-based world-view
可我们的思维方式，却局限在学生式的世界观中，
as if we were showing up for assembly every day
就好像我们没有依然要出席师生大会一样，
generating immense and unnecessary degrees of unhappiness and compromise for ourselves in the process.
会产生一种强烈而不必要的不愉快，并做出不必要的妥协。
What might be some of the hallmarks of an enduring school-like way of thinking:
学生式思维可能有这样一些特征。
First and foremost, a firm belief that those in authority know what they are doing and that one’s task is to obey and jump through the hoops they set for us.
首先，坚信权威者知道他们自己在做什么，人就该遵守权威，并为此饱受折磨。
A desire to please teachers and gain prizes, cups and ribbons.
我们渴望着取悦老师，赢得奖项、奖杯和绶带。
解析在这里哦！
1. assembly，名词，表示“集会”，比如：The organizers of the march were charged with assault and riotous assembly.（游行组织者被控侵犯人身及暴乱性非法集会。）
2. compromise，名词，表示“妥协”，比如：Compromise is an inevitable part of life.（妥协是生活不可避免的一部分。）
3. hallmarks，名词，单词原形为：hallmark，表示“标志”，比如：It’s a technique that has become the hallmark of Amber Films.（这是一项已成为安伯电影公司标志的技术。）
4. jump through hoops，动词词组，表示“饱受折磨”，比如：He had the receptionist almost jumping through hoops for him. But to no avail.（他让接待员为他几乎饱经折磨，但根本没有用。）
