中文概述

麻省理工大学,是美国一所综合性私立大学,也是世人公认的世界最好的理工大学。位于马萨诸塞州的波士顿,吉祥物是海狸。麻省理工学院于1861年由一位毕业于老牌名校威廉玛丽学院的著名自然科学家威廉·巴顿·罗杰斯创立,他希望能够创建一个自由的学院来适应当时正快速发展的美国。麻省理工学院是当今世界上最富盛名的理工科大学,也是《纽约时报》笔下"全美最有声望的学校"。

麻省理工大学研究生院、工程学科、数学学科、物理学科、科技学科、计算机科学学科等诸多学科的专业总排名位居全美第一。其林肯实验室、计算机科学及人工智能实验室、媒体实验室和斯隆管理学院十分著名。由于在学术方面的卓越成就,虽然MIT不是常春藤盟校成员,MIT也常被纳入Ivy Plus。MIT是全美最富有也是最慷慨的大学,所有家庭年收入低于75000美金的学生一旦被录取,一律免除学费。

时至今日,共有78位诺贝尔奖得主和45位罗德奖学金得主曾在麻省理工学院学习或工作过,如世界级建筑师贝聿铭,诺贝尔奖得主约翰·纳什,联合国秘书长科菲·安南,前惠普CEO卡莉·费奥丽娜。经过麻省理工学院几代人坚持不懈的努力奋斗,麻省理工学院已成为"世界理工大学之最",是世界理工学院当之无愧的首选。

To read without reflecting is like eating without digesting.

读书不思考,犹如吃饭不消化。

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

千里之行始于足下。

    Malone Dies

    'Malone', writes Malone, 'is what I am called now.' On his deathbed, and wiling away the time with stories, the octogenarian Malone's account of his condition is intermittent and contradictory, shifting with the vagaries of the passing days: without mellowness, without elegiacs; wittier, jauntier, and capable of wilder rages than Molloy. The sound I liked best had nothing noble about it. It was the barking of the dogs, at night, in the clusters of hovels up in the hills, where the stone-cutters lived, like generations of stone-cutters before them. it came down to me where I lay, in the house in the plain, wild and soft, at the limit of earshot, soon weary.
