Top 10 Reasons to Attend NAIT

People often ask me why I chose to attend NAIT instead of a "real university" like the University of Alberta. Here are my top 10 reasons for choosing NAIT:

人们总是问我为什么不去一个像阿尔伯塔大学一样的“真正的大学”而选择了NAIT。以下就是我选择NAIT的十大理由。

1. No Homework. I have many friends in university who spend countless hours each night writing boring papers that no one will ever read. Not me. Once I leave NAIT, I'm free to play hockey all day long!1.没有作业。 我有很多在大学的朋友。他们每晚花大量的时间去写根本不会有人读的无聊论文。我就不一样。我一进入NAIT，我可以无忧无虑的玩一整天冰球！
   
2. No Studying Required. My university friends often complain about midterms and finals. The fear of failing difficult exams paralyzes them into spending every waking moment cramming bits of useless information into their heads, sometimes even at the expense of their physical and mental health.2.没有学业上的要求。 我的大学朋友总是抱怨期中和期末考试。害怕挂掉难科目的考试的恐惧是他们一睁眼就麻痹的往脑子里塞满大量没有用的信息，有时候甚至伤害了他们的身体上和心理上的健康。
   
3. Self-Esteem. Grades have a profound effect on your self-esteem. Just think about it. A grade of "C" implies that you are only mediocre despite hours of countless work. You just don't feel appreciated. At NAIT, it's easy to get the good grades that you so deserve.3. 自尊。 分数对你的自尊又很深远的影响。想想看。“C”意味着尽管做了很多功课但你只是平庸的。你就是没有感觉到付出被回报了。在NAIT，只要你肯努力获得好分数不是很难。
   
4. Teaching Staff. At NAIT, the instructors are like your friends. They are here to faciliate your success. And we often hang out together in our spare time playing pool and swimming at a pool. They are nowhere as intimidating as university professors. 4. 教师员工。 在NAIT，老师就像你的朋友一样。他们在这里是来帮助你成功的。还有我们总是在课余时间呆在一起玩水球和在游泳池里游泳。他们不会像大学里面的教授一样威胁人。
   
5. Athletics. University students tend to be bookworms and quite physically weak. NAIT students tend to be strong and muscular like me. This makes for more exhilarating games and practices. 5. 大学学生总是趋向与做一个书虫而且身体相当虚弱。NAIT学生趋向于强壮和像我一样的肌肉型。这样就能应付更多愉快的比赛和训练。
   
6. Masculinity. NAIT is definitely more masculine than girly universities. Universities are for the weak. NAIT is for strong men like me.6.男子气概。NAIT肯定是比娘娘腔的大学更有男子气概。大学是弱者去的。NAIT是给像我这样强壮的男人的。
   
7. A Cool Name. Admit it, NAIT sounds cooler than University of Alberta. Plus, NAIT rhymes with SAIT.7.一个很酷的名字。 不得不承认，NAIT听上去比阿尔伯塔大学酷多了。还有，NAIT和SAI叫上去很对口。
   
8. Job Opportunities. Most undergraduate degrees are now meaningless pieces of paper. Without further education, it's impossible for most BA/BSc graduates to find meaningful employment that pays well. And they have to spend at least four years in school. For me, I can just complete my welding program at NAIT and start earning tons of cash right away since I'm strong and skilled.8. 工作机会。 大多数毕业文凭现在都是毫无意义的废纸。没有更高的学位，大多数文学学士和理学学士毕业生是不可能找到薪水很好有意义的工作。而且他们花了至少四年的时间在学校。对于我来说，我在NAIT能只完成我的焊接专业课程；因为我的强壮和技术娴熟，我能马上挣上很多很多银子。
   
9. No Writing Required. I hate academic writing. It just drains your energy with all the grammatical rules required.9. 不需要写东西。 我讨厌理论上的写作。它用所有所要求的语法上的规则耗干了你的脑子。
   
10. People think you're a rebel. It's true. People always look down on me when I say that I attend NAIT, like I'm some kind of deviant. My parent's friends always ask me why I chose NAIT and if I'm ever considering further education at a university afterwards. This implies that my NAIT education is not as valuable as a university education. I actually like this. I feel like I'm rebelling!10. 人们会认为你是个叛逆者。 这是真的。人们听说我进了NAIT后总是看我低一等，好像我是个不正常的人。我父母的朋友总是问我为什么选择NAIT，还有我是否考虑了以后在大学更深的学习。这就意味着我在NAIT的学习不如在一个大学有价值。我真的喜欢这样的学院。
