A Poetic Guide to Polish Your PS （双语）
O, college essay, the Sisyphean struggle to reach perfection,
Shall you cease to pain students, or ever remain an obstruction?
Lucky for you students, lucky it is, for I shall share with you tricks and tools,
With those willing to learn, to follow then bend the rules
Of writing, styling, narrating, and punctuating.
哦，大学短文，何时能够臻于至善？这痛苦的挣扎不休，
可否停止折磨学生？至少不要继续羁绊他们的追求。
幸运垂青，我欲与诸位分享些许诀窍与计谋，
只要你虚心求知、紧步相随，
通晓写作、设计、陈述，与注标，一丝不苟。
First, start your essay with an onomatopoeia!
"Beep!" for the alarm clock that you ignored and thus missed an examination
Or "Meow..." for the cat that taught you the value of deep relation,
Or "Kaboom!" for the rocket-powered car that won you the engineering competition.
Nothing beats sounds for an one-word opener
In the contest of impressing admission officers.
However, some of you may insist on writing longer,
In that case, let's shock 'em and move 'em with a short one-liner,
With the action-packed "I knocked him out in 5 seconds",
Or the tearjerker "My dad never said he was proud of his son."
首先，章首拟声作篇头！
"嘟嘟"闹钟不理睬，错过考试心发愁；
"喵喵"猫叫常提醒，珍情重谊把心剖；
"扬扬"清笛火箭车，助你稳赢工程赛。
没有什么可以胜过独词开篇，
去吸引录委会的眼球，
然而，你们或许坚持青睐长文，
那么，不妨将其打磨成小趣闻来饰修。
内容丰富，情节激动，一如"我5秒内将他KO"；
亦或，以情动人，"我的父亲从未以我为荣、话语轻柔"。
Second, go beyond one-word transition!
"First," "second," and "last" are a dime a dozen and a nickel per set of three.
Forgive me the irony, for I still use them to entertain thee.
In addition to "moreover," "additionally" and "furthermore" shall deserve no chance,
And the use of "yet," "however," and "nevertheless," shall be reconsidered under no circumstance.
再者，独词转折须弃丢！
"首先"、"其实"与"最后"，无异于一角，一打，一镍币，
恕我反讽，依然借助该词把大家来愚弄。
此外，"moreover," "additionally" 和 "furthermore"皆不用，
同样，"yet", "however" 和 "nevertheless" 也要说NO。
Third, spice it up with cultural references!
Sit on the "iron throne" to find your panda's "inner peace,"
Or run like Forrest Gump and find the meaning of life in a mysterious "chocolate piece."
"But beware of the dark side you must," once said Yoda,
For no one could save you from a flood of references, except Noah.
第三，引经据典，文化加凑！
坐稳"铁王座"，跟随"功夫熊猫"向着内心的安宁去追求，
或，像阿甘一样奔跑，在神秘的"巧克力"中觅寻生活的意蕴悠悠。
"但是，要时刻警惕黑暗来袭"，尤达曾叮嘱。
因为无人可以挽救你于洪水般泛滥的引用，除了诺亚之流。
Fourth, take advantage of parallel structures and metaphors!
Who could have guessed winter could help a Guangzhou student make friends and love Beijing's winter,
"At the snow that whitened the sky, I gazed, then they all gazed.
At the snow that turned my hair white, they all giggled, then I giggled."
Who could have guessed spring could trigger philosophical thoughts in a Chengdu student deserted of familial love,
"The New Year's Eve fireworks went off.
The springtime thunders awake hibernating animals,
Or some hibernating emotions.
This city is such a giant iceberg
That cuddling is the only way to survive,
And any isolation a loss of heat."
最后，借助于隐喻与平行结构！
谁曾设想，冬天可以帮助广州的学生爱上北京之冬并与其交友，
"白雪晶莹着天空，我驻足凝视，他们也在抬头；
雪花染白了我的长发，他们咯咯地笑，我也眯起了眼眸。"
谁又能够臆想，春天可以触发哲思，触动一个缺乏家庭之爱的成都学子最深处的温柔。
"新年的烟花已然绽放，
春雷惊醒了蛰伏的动物，
也激起了静默潜藏的情愁。
这座城市宛如一座巨大的冰山，
唯有拥抱能够伴我继续走，
任何的疏离都将温暖付之东流。"
Although there remain many tips to share,
There remains not much time to spare.
So, let us learn one more trick: linking the beginning and the ending
How so, you are wondering.
Remember the Sisyphean struggle and the eternal damnation?
Mention it here again, but with a twisted configuration.
"He had failed thousands of time, but this time he knows more tricks and more tools.
Now he rolls that rock up the hill one more time.
He finally smiles with confidence…"
End it right there as an open resolution.
So, we cannot make a conclusion
but hope, for the better and not the worse.
That, my friends, a hopeful open ending, is the true last trick I want to share.
诚然，还有很多建议想要付你之手，
然而，时间有限，无法一一出口，
因此，再献一计：文尾呼应篇头。
如何去实现？你疑虑久久。
还记得那无尽的奋斗与永恒的诅咒？
于此重提，切记要更换格局。
"屡屡失败，但是这一次，他习得了更多的技巧去扼住咽喉。
现在，他再次手撑岩石，向山顶进发，
终于，他信心满溢，笑眼如勾。"
至此停笔，猜想种种，
不做结论，余意未收，
但是，期冀美好，不容置否。
朋友们，一个满载希望的开放式结尾，便是我献上的最后计谋，助你录取大获全收！
