求翻译:I see two kinds of pressure working on college students today: economic pressure, parental pressure. It is easy to look around for rebels-- to blame the colleges for charging too much money, the parents for pushing their children too far. But there are no rebels, only victims.The pressure is heavy on students who just want to graduate and get a job. If I were an employer I would rather employ graduates who have this range and curiosity than those who narrowly pursued safe subjects and high grades. I know incalculable students whose inquiring minds cheer me. I like to hear the play of their ideas. I don't know if they are getting A or C, and I don't care. I also like them as people. The country needs them, and they will find satisfying jobs. I tell them to relax. They can't.Nor can I blame them. They live in a brutal economy.Today it is not unusual for a student, even if he works part time at college and full time during the summer, to increase to 5, 000 in loans after graduation. Encouraged at commencemerit to go forth into the world, he is already behind as he goes forth. How could he not feel under pressure throughout college to prepare for this day of reckoning?Along with economic pressure goes parental pressure.Inevitably, the two are deeply integrated.Poor students! They are caught in one of the oldest webs of love and duty and guilt. The parents mean well: they are trying to steer their sons and daughters toward a secure future. But the sons and daughters want to major in history or classics or philosophy-- subjects with no "practical" value.Where's the payoff on the humanities? It's not easy to persuade such loving parents that the humanities do indeed pay off. The intellectual faculties developed by studying subjects like history and classics are just the faculties that make creative leaders in business or almost any general field.Luckily for me, most of them got into their field by an indirect route, to their surprise, after many roundabout ways.The students are startled. They can hardly conceive of a career that was not preplanned. They can hardly imagine allowing the hand of God or chance to nudge them down some unforeseen trail.是什么意思? 待解决

我看到两种今天对高校学生工作的压力: 经济压力,来自父母的压力。它很容易看看周围的叛乱分子-怪高校收费太多的钱,太远推子女的父母。但不是叛乱分子,唯一的受害者。压力是很大的人只是想毕业并获得一份工作。雇主的要是我而是会聘请有此范围和好奇心比那些狭隘地追求安全主体和高年级的毕业生。我知道无法估量的查询的头脑欢呼我的学生。我想听他们的想法的播放。我不知道是否他们正在 A 或 C,也不在乎。我也喜欢他们的人。这个国家需要他们,和他们会找到满意的工作。我告诉他们要放松。他们不能。也不能怪他们。他们住在一个野蛮的经济体系。今天它是不寻常的一名学生,即使他工作部分时间在大学和全职夏季期间,将增加到 5,毕业后贷款万人。在 commencemerit,走到世界的鼓励,他已经是后面,他走出来。可能他不感觉整个大学的压力下这个时刻准备?随著经济压力是来自父母的压力。不可避免的这两个深深地集成在一起。贫困学生 !他们被夹在其中一个最古老的腹板的爱和责任,有罪。父母是好意: 他们想要带领儿女,一个安全的未来走向。但儿子和女儿想要主修历史或经典或哲学--科目有没有"实用"的价值。对人文回报在哪里?很不容易说服这种爱父母人文做的确还清。知识产权学院开发的学习科目像历史和经典是只是业务或一般的几乎任何字段中进行创造性的领导人的学院。幸运的是对我来说,他们大多数陷入其字段间接的路线,令他们惊讶的是,许多迂回后。学生们吓了一跳。他们很难想象的不 preplanned 的职业生涯。他们几乎不能想象让上帝之手或机会推动他们一些不可预见的小道。
