1. 关于音乐剧的
形式
2. 歌词的语言重点分析
a. 那位招生老兄头三句就唱出托福雅思SAT写作/口语高分亮点。
[修辞多变]: When I was a senior in high school, colleges called out my name. 表达单一呆板是许多中国考生拿不了高分的原因之一。这句结构“大学招呼我的名字”的拟人手法比“我想上大学”更出彩。
[直接+间接]: Every day I'd debate where to matriculate, but every place seemed the same. 可以从这句学习间接表达给句子带来的活力。这句前面很直白'我斗争去哪个学校好'，后半部分不直接说every university，而是every place。
[具体和抽象结合]：Yet after I went through the options, only one choice remained. 好的作家/演讲家总是能在抽象和具体之间自如过渡。Go through这个具体动作+Options这个抽象名字封装在一起，是具体结合抽象的典范，如那句歌词'I'll send you all my love every day in a letter'。这块挺重要的，详细看SAT官方手册113页有专门训练这点的一章。
b. [客观的精神]：But mostly, I chose Yale for its superb academic opportunities. 这句表达的很客观，opportunities这边指'a situation or condition favorable for attainment of a goal.'耶鲁这片良好的土壤能不能种出好果实，还得看个人。美国高中很多学校都有开Critical Thinking这门课，我看过的欧美大学生的作文都感觉思维严密，读着很舒服。而我批改过很多中国托福SAT考生的作文口气都太过主观，太过绝对，比方会写出这样需要很强证据支持的句子：People are unkind about their colleagues but it is simply because they are feeling insecure at work.
c. [名词化]：Do our passions divide us? 名词化是一种很灵活的表达技巧，掌握好了口语和写作水准能上一个台阶。可能大家比较熟悉的是动词名词化，比方：He reacted badly. -> His reaction was bad. 其实形容词也可以名词化，这句的our passions就是we are passinate的名词化。这里用名词化让表达高效简洁。具体更多Nominalisation的细节可以参考欧美写作教程，很多都会讲到这点。
3. 歌词的文化点分析
（这块本来想多灌点的，前面写累了，草草收尾吧，呵呵）
a. “Residential College” 以牛剑模式为代表的住宿学院制度在短片占很大篇幅。'Master and a Dean'一个管生活一个管学术。'Master's Tea'是院长主持的一个茶会，让学生有机会认识名人。这些相关细节都可以在耶鲁官网找到：http://www.yale.edu/admit/freshmen/residential_life/index.html ；
b. 'When I was a senior in high school'，这边的a senior是美国高中的12年纪，也就是高中最后一年；'Here is where we thread Shakespeare Studies and Pre-Med.' Pre-Med是医学预科，这个阶段主要学生物化学知识，所以我歌词译成“把莎士比亚和生物化学交织在一起”；
c. 'Law school clinic'又叫Legal clinic，和诊所无关，是法学院一个学生能有机会实践法律的地方，有机会出庭，工作性质多为公益，比方看哈佛法学院对自己clinic的介绍：http://www.law.harvard.edu/academics/clinical/；
d. 'Of course, you'll get a first-rate education, but also thrive on classmates' conversation.' 我对这句蛮有感触，其实同学之间的交往带来的熏陶并不比课堂教育要少；
e. 'you can put your hearts into all the liberal arts.'这边liberal arts并不仅指艺术，而是指能培养人基本素质提高综合能力的那些知识（和职业技能相对），liberal arts教育在美国历史很长了，有很多liberal arts学校，和综合性大学相比，他们不管任何专业，都要学艺术史、音乐、科学哲学、数学等综合性能力学科。liberal arts学校的专业多为基础性学科，历史/人类学/数学/文学...之类的，因此我碰到不少liberal arts学校的学生为找工作发愁。他们一些人选择双学位或者进研究生院来解决就业问题。
f. 'so go audition all your courses in the lecture hall.'可能大家比较熟的是《老友记》里面Joey老是说要去audition，就是去试镜看看能不能被导演相中，但是这边audition是试听课程（先前译错了，非常抱歉！同时感谢VeryCD网友moretti指出）：
再比如：ROBERT BROWNING 的Andrea del Sarto：'Though they come back and cannot tell the world. ' 他们回来，但是不能告诉世界（这个秘密）。tell the world也是和audition the courses一样的拟人用法。
4. 其他核心单词列表 （大部分都是留学考试词汇。英文解释来自各个辞典，选最简洁贴切的）
MATRICULATE: v.
DEBATE: 片中不是辩论的意思，而是to deliberate; consider: I debated with myself whether to tell them the truth or not.
HAIL FROM: to be or have been native to or a resident of，片中'I wanted to hail from a college called Yale.'就是成为耶鲁一员
QUINTESSENTIAL: the purest or most refined of its kind. 巴朗的SAT和GRE词表都有该词
EXTRACURRICULAR: outside the regular academic curriculum
FACILITIES: something designed and created to serve a particular function and to afford a particular convenience or service
HONE: make perfect or complete
BUTTERY: a small storeroom for storing foods or wines
GRILL: a framework of metal bars used as a partition or a grate 片中用具备这样的设施来表示每餐都有供应色拉和烧烤。
TO EAT ONE'S FILL: a full supply; enough to satisfy want or desire
HANG OUT: If you hang out in a particular place or area, you go and stay there for no particular reason, or spend a lot of time there. 这个词美剧随处可见
TENURED PROFESSOR: 终身教授
GIVES ME CHILLS: If something sends a chill through you, it gives you a sudden feeling of fear or anxiety.
MATCHING SHEETS: matching这边是指identical，完全一样的，而不是匹配的意思。
SUFFICE: be sufficient; be adequate, either in quality or quantity
REHEARSAL: a practice session in preparation for a public performance (as of a play or speech or concert)
FELLOWSHIP: the state of being with someone 片中不是奖学金的意思，而是大家在一起的意思
SUBSIDIZE: If a government or other authority subsidizes something, they pay part of the cost of it.
CELEBRITIES: a widely known person
PREVAIL: continue to exist 片中不是胜利的意思
RUN INTO: If you run into someone, you meet them unexpectedly. 这个美剧中也很多见
INTERSECT: meet at a point
HIT THE IGNITION: the mechanism that ignites the fuel in an internal-combustion engine 开动机器，片中指开始行动起来投入学习
ACKNOWLEDGE: accept (someone) to be what is claimed or accept his power and authority
另：因为是歌词，我翻译时很多为了整体效果，自己有比较大发挥，添、减、转、意译等比较多，有不同意见欢迎告诉我。
