之前看到學校辦英文作文比賽，
覺得應該不會有什麼人參加，也許有機會拿500元佳作獎金之類的，
就隨意寫了一篇虛實夾雜流水帳一般的作文的報名。
結果果然沒有得獎，連參加獎的抽獎資格都沒有XD
以下分享一下我的小文，配上翻譯♥
NCCU and I met each other several years ago. I was a freshman that time, and got shocked by the short but steep Dao-Nan Bridge. Whenever the bus rushed down the bridge, I felt like taking a rollercoaster. Sadly, my cool days taking rollercoaster to school didn’t left too long, I found myself gradually got used to the speed of the bus and the steepness of the bridge, and felt it not exciting anymore. Sometimes I will ask myself if I still miss the rollercoaster days or not, while the answers are always different depend on my mood of the day.
政大與我在數年前相遇，當時我還是個被又短又陡的道南橋震驚的新鮮人。
每當公車 從橋上衝下來，我都感覺再坐雲霄飛車。
悲傷的是，我搭雲霄飛車上學的酷炫日子並未持續很久，
因為我發現自己漸漸習慣了公車的速度與橋的陡度，所以不再感到刺激了。
偶爾我會問我自己想不想念雲霄飛車時光，然而答案總隨著我的心情變化。
Besides the bridge, I also got a lot of fun from NCCU’S upper campus. My classes were mainly in upper campus when I was a freshman. As many other students, I often complained how inconvenient, how time-consuming, and how money-wasting attending courses in upper campus was with my classmates, it’s a never outdated topic, and firmed people’s friendship. But if someone thinks I disliked upper campus, I should say he or she is totally wrong.
除了橋，我也從山上校區得到不少樂趣。
大一時我的課主要在山上，
如同很多學生，我常抱怨在山上上課不方便、費時、費錢，
你知道這是個永不過時的話題，他加強了人與人間的友誼。
但如果有人認為我討厭山上校區的話，那我必須說他完全錯了。
I love upper campus. I was frequently amazed by the beautiful panorama view from the College of Liberal Arts. The view there is especially breathtaking when the Taipei City underneath is got drenched in the glorious orange color of sunset. If you are sensitive enough, you’ll definitely burst into tears for you might feel very thankful that how can access to such natural beauty become so easy in NCCU.
我愛山上校區。我經常驚豔於文學院望出去的美麗全景。
當腳上的台北市區沐浴在閃耀的夕陽餘暉時那景色特別叫人屏息。
如果你夠多愁善感，你必會因感謝在政大接觸大自然相當便利而感動落淚。
Another thing I love about upper campus is the fresh air. I don’t know if it’s my own illusion, but I really feel the air in upper campus is better than what in lower campus. In winter, I usually arrived school earlier and went up to upper campus by my own foots. I could take as many deep breaths to get Phytoncid as I want, at the same time enjoyed the priceless happiness of saving the one dollar shuttle bus fee.
新鮮的空氣是我喜愛山上校區的另一原因。
不知道是否為錯覺，我覺得山上校區的空氣比山下好多了。
在冬天，我通常會早點到學校然後走上山。
我可以盡情深呼吸攫取芬多精，同時享受省下一元公車錢的無價快樂。
The other advantage belongs to upper campus is the clear feelings of “start” and “over” it offers, and this can only be relished by those who have whole day classes in upper campus. It’s all because of its position─ it’s upper.
山上校區還有一個優點，就是它提供了清楚的「始」、「終」感。
這感覺只有整天在山上上課的人能享受，一切都是因為山上校區位置很高的緣故。
When you start your whole day study, you have to move yourself from the plain to the mountain. During this process, you can encourage yourself to work harder and make yourself more elevated than the previous day. Trust me, upon doing this, your mood and will to learn will get higher and higher when the altitude you stand also get higher and higher. And when finished the whole day class, you have to walk down to the lower campus. When you walked down in the breeze, the tempo of your body will slow down, and what you learn that day will gradually fall into your mind, deeper and deeper. So when you back to the lower campus, you can feel there’s something concrete in your mind. Because of the feeling, you know that it’s time to take a rest and get ready for the study of the next day. I was undoubtedly addicted to the “switch on and off “feelings that learning in upper campus grants me.
當你開始一整日的學習，你必須從平地移動至山中，
在這過程中你可以鼓勵自己再努力一點並較前一日提升。
相信我，藉由這個過程，你的情緒與學習意志將隨者你所在的海拔不斷升高。
而當結束整日的學習，你必須走回山下校區。
當你在微風中下山，身體的節奏會趨緩，
你當日所學將慢慢落入你心中，越來越深、越來越深，
所以當回到平地時，你會感覺心中有種實在的東西。
因著這感覺，你明白是該休息並為隔日的學習做準備了。
我毫無疑問地著迷於山上校區給予我的這種「開」、「關」感。
There’s too many unforgettable things happened between NCCU and me that I can only state a few. Though I’m not a freshman anymore, those memories related to NCCU are still fresh to me. Furthermore, I bet NCCU and I can keep creating numerous cool memories together from now on!
政大與我之間發生了太多難忘的事以至於我只能陳述部分。
雖然我已不再是新鮮人，與政大有關的記憶卻依然鮮活。
我敢說從現在起，政大與我可以繼續一起創造無數很酷的回憶！
