MIT: Make the World a Better Place

　　麻省理工：让世界变得更美好!

　　麻省理工学院，坐落于美国马萨诸塞州波士顿都市区剑桥市，是世界著名私立研究型大学。麻省理工学院素以顶尖的工程学和计算机科学而著名，拥有林肯实验室(MIT Lincoln Lab)和麻省理工学院媒体实验室(MIT Media Lab)。截止至2018年3月，麻省理工学院的校友、教职工及研究人员中，共产生了91位诺贝尔奖得主、6位菲尔兹奖得主以及25位图灵奖得主。2018年USNews排名No.5。每年有超过25，000名来自世界各地的优秀学生申请MIT，但是每年大约只有1452名学生入学。录取率7.2%。

　　MIT青睐什么样的学生呢?

　　除了具备极其优秀的学术和学历背景外，还需要具备以下关键品质：

　　Alignment with MIT's mission to make the world a better place. Remember that there are many ways to make the world better—we're not looking for applicants to have cured all infectious disease in the world by the time they're fifteen. Tutoring a single kid in math changes the world. Lobbying a senator to change bad policy changes the world. There are thousands of examples.

　　拥有和MIT一样的使命--让世界变得更美好。请记住，世界上有很多的方法可以使世界变得更美好---- 我们不是要寻找那种在15岁就治愈了全世界所有传染病的申请者。给小孩辅导数学可以改变世界。游说议员改变不合时宜的政策也可以改变世界。有成千上万例子让世界变得更美好。

　　Collaborative & cooperative spirit. The core of the MIT spirit is collaboration and cooperation: you can see it all over the Institute. Many of the problem sets (our affectionate term for homework) at MIT are designed to be worked on in groups; cross-department labs are very common; MIT is known for its interdisciplinary research; the Open Source movement is powerful here; publishing and sharing of results is the center of academic research. Fostering a collaborative environment is an important part of the MIT community. If you enjoy working alone all the time, that's fine! But you're probably not going to be particularly happy here.

　　合作与协作精神。MIT的核心精神是合作与协作：你可以在学校的每一个角落看见这种精神。MIT的许多问题集(我们对家庭作业的亲切用语)是设计成小组作业的形式，跨部门实验非常常见，MIT以跨学科研究著称，这里开源运动正在盛行，成果的发布与共享是学术研究的中心，培养合作环境是MIT社区的重要组成部分，如果你喜欢独自一人工作，那就太好了!但是在这里你可能不会特别高兴。

　　Initiative. Research projects and seed money and interesting lectures aren't simply handed to students on silver platters here. Opportunities abound at MIT, but they must be seized. For those students who take initiative—who take advantage of what's around them—MIT's resources are unparalleled.

　　主动和创新精神。研究项目、种子基金和有趣的讲座不只是简单的放到学生的银盘里。MIT的机会非常多，但是他们必须自己抓住。对于那些主动学习的学生--谁利用了他周围优势--MIT的资源是无与伦比的。

　　Risk-taking. MIT wants to admit people who are not only planning to succeed but who are not afraid to fail. When people take risks in life, they learn resilience as a result—because risk leads to failure as often as it leads to success. The most creative and successful people—and MIT is loaded with them—know that failure is part of life and that if you stay focused and don't give up, goals are ultimately realized.

　　冒险精神。MIT不仅注重那些计划成功的人更注重那些不怕失败的人。当人们在生活中冒险的时候，他们学会了快速恢复的能力----因为冒险不仅会带来失败也会带来成功。最有创造力和最成功的人----MIT充满这样的人——知道失败是生活的一部分并且如果你保持专注并且不放弃，最终会实现目标的。

　　Hands-on creativity. MIT is an active, hands-on place. Innovation is risky and messy! Getting your hands dirty and trying something new is often the best way to achieve success. We apply theoretical knowledge to real-world problems here; our Latin motto means "Mind and Hand." In other words, you shouldn't just enjoy thinking, you should also enjoy doing.

　　实践创新能力。MIT是一个充满活力并且重视实践的地方。创新是危险和复杂的!弄脏你的手，尝试一些新的东西往往是获得成功的最佳途径。我们把理论知识应用于现实世界的问题中，我们拉丁语的座右铭是“手脑并用，创造世界”。换句话说，你不应该只是喜欢思考，你也要喜欢动手实践。

　　Intensity, curiosity, and excitement. you should be invested in the things that really mean something to you (we're not particularly picky as to what). Explore! Choose quality over quantity—you don't have to do a million things to get into college. Put your heart into a few things that you truly care about and that will be enough.

　　专注能力、探索精神和生活激情。你应该投入那些真正对你有意义的事情(我们对什么并不特别挑剔)。探索!保证质量而不是数量---你不必做一百万件事才能进入学校。把你的心放在几件你真正关心的事情上，这就足够了。

　　The character of the MIT community. Our community is comprised of good people. People who take care of each other and lift each other up. People who inspire each other to work & dream beyond their potential. We're looking to admit people who by nature will sustain the qualities of this community.

　　高尚的品格。我们的社区由品德高尚的人组成。人们互相照顾互相扶持。人们相互激励工作和梦想能够超越潜能。我们寻找那些天生就具有这些品质并且能支持这个社区的人们。

　　The ability to prioritize balance. Work hard, play hard. Despite what you may have heard, this place is NOT all about work. To be successful here, you must prioritize some measure of downtime. Therefore, we like to see that you've prioritized some downtime in high school as well. Question #1 (Tell us about something you do simply for the pleasure of it) is not a trick question. Answer it wisely.

　　时间规划统筹能力。努力工作，努力玩。不管你听到了什么，这个地方不只有工作。要在这里成功，你必须优先处理一些工作外的事。因此，我们也希望看到你在高中优先处理一些学习外的事情。

　　Last but not least, remember that no one profile—no matter how impressive—represents "the perfect match." When we admit a class of students to MIT, it's as if we're choosing a 1,100-person team to climb a very interesting, fairly rugged mountain—together. We obviously want people who have the training, stamina, and passion for the climb. At the same time, we want each to add something useful or intriguing to the team, from a wonderful temperament or sense of humor to compelling personal experiences, to a wide range of individual gifts, talents, interests and achievements. We are emphatically not looking for a batch of identical perfect climbers; we are looking for a richly varied team of capable people who will support, surprise and inspire each other.

　　当我们录取一个班的学生到麻理省工学院时，就好像我们选择了一个1100人的团队去攀登一座非常有趣、崎岖不平的山。 我们显然想要那些训练有素、有毅力有激情的人来攀登的人。同时，我们希望每个人都能为团队增添一些有用的或有趣的东西，不凡的气质、幽默感、引人注目的个人经历，亦或是个人的天赋、才能、兴趣和成就等。我们正在寻找多样化的团队，这个团队中大家将互相支持、互相启发、相互鼓励!

　　这是一所聚集人才的世界顶尖学院，如果您综合气场超强，那么MIT欢迎您!
