大学散伙饭 不只是一场狂欢

While making up with his buddies is an expression of Xu’s friendship, feelings toward a secret crush are more complicated. Chen Juan, 22, a senior majoring in civil engineering at Southeast University, got a special moment at the farewell party – a student professed his love for her. At the end of the party, a male classmate suddenly brought out a bunch of roses, saying he had had a crush on her for four years.
与兄弟重修旧好是徐胜军对待哥们情谊的一种表现，而暗恋的感觉则更为复杂。22岁的陈娟是东南大学土木工程系的大四学生。她在散伙饭上迎来了一个特殊时刻——一位同学向她表白。在散伙饭接近尾声时，一位男生突然拿出一束玫瑰花并告诉陈娟他已经暗恋她整整四年了。

“I was very touched and burst into tears,” says Chen. “He’s my good friend. We will work in different cities after graduating, so we might not have a relationship in future, but I still cherish this feeling.”
“我被感动得泪流满面，”陈娟说，“他是我的好朋友。我们毕业后将在不同的城市工作，所以我们以后可能不会在一起。但我仍然很珍惜这段感情。”

除了同学间离别的感伤，很多老师还在散伙饭上表达出自己的关切之情。

“We were all given a lit candle along with a rose by our counselor. He told us that the candle would guide us through the darkness of life and that the rose would remind us that before reaching the beauty of a rose we have to deal with the thorns first,” says Chen Binlun, 22, a senior majoring in English at Yunnan University.
“我们的辅导员送给我们每人一支点燃的蜡烛和一朵玫瑰花。他告诉我们，蜡烛会指引我们穿越生活的低谷；玫瑰则会提醒我们在触摸到玫瑰的美丽之前，要先留意它的刺。”云南大学英语系大四学生、22岁的陈斌伦（音译）说道。

“He told us that in order to succeed in life, you have to cross many hurdles and never give up. When you start to lose hope, look at the candle,” Chen says.
陈斌伦说：“他告诉我们，为了在人生的舞台上取得成功，你们必须要克服许多困难且永不放弃。当你们开始感到绝望的时候，就看看这支蜡烛吧。”
