4.Eating is definitely one of the highlights of being a freshman at Harvard. It’s not so much the food that makes the meal — the cuisine is tasty, but it’s where we eat that’s truly remarkable. Our dining hall is more like a church or a museum than a cafeteria. The tables, chairs, floors, walls, and lofty ceilings are all made of gorgeous, dark wood that is so impeccably polished that it shines. Moreover, the hall is hung with chandeliers, has vibrantly colored ed glass windows and is filled with statues and portraits of famous figures from Harvard’s past.
在哈佛,就餐肯定也是新生最关注的事情之一。不仅是一日三餐吃什么——吃的都是美味,更值得一提的是就餐的环境真的很好。我们的餐厅更像是一个教堂或博物馆。桌子、椅子、地板、墙壁,还有高高的天花板都是用华丽的深色木料制作的,油漆得精光锃亮。而且,大厅里悬挂着枝形吊灯,墙上镶嵌着明亮的彩色玻璃窗,厅里到处可见哈佛历史名人的雕塑和画像。
