     Between the preparation and the work,the apprenticeship and the actual dealing with a task or an art,there comes,in the experience of many young men,a period of uncertainty and wandering which is often misunderstood and counted as time wasted,when it is,in fact,a period rich in full and free development.
    It is as natural for ardent and courageous youth to wish to know what is in life,what it means,and what it holds,as for a child to reach for and search the things that surround and attract it.Behind every real worker in the world is a real man,and a man has a right to know the conditions under which he must live,and the choices of knowledge,power,and activity which are offered to him.In the education of many men and women,therefore,there comes the year of wandering;the experience of traveling from knowledge to knowledge and from occupation to occupation.
    The forces which go to the making of a powerful man can rarely be adjusted and blended without some disturbance of relations and conditions.This disturbance is sometimes injurious,because it affects the moral foundations upon which character rests;and for this reason,the significance of the experience in its relation to development ought to be sympathetically studied.The birth of the imagination and of the passions,the perception of the richness of life,and the consciousness of the possession of the power to master and use that wealth,create a critical moment in the history of youth-a moment richer in possibilities of all kinds than comes at any later period.Agitation and ferment of soul are inevitable in that wonderful moment.There are times when agitation is as normal as is self-control at other and less critical times.
   The year of wandering is not a manifestation of aimlessness,but aspiration,and that in its ferment and uncertainty youth is often guided to and finally prepared for its task.
 
    大学时期是人生迈向社会的一个关键阶段,从某种意义而言,它是一个徘徊的时期。这段时期经常遭到误解,被认为是浪费时间。事实上,这段时间正是年轻人可以得到充分发展的时期。塑造出一个强者所需要的各种力量,没有经过与他人和环境的摩擦,是很难整合在一起的,这正是大学的任务之一。通过知识的增长,人际的历练,使自己具备迈向社会所需的各种力量。徘徊的岁月并不意味着胸无大志,而恰恰是雄心壮志的表现,抓住宝贵的青春时光,珍惜在江财度过的一分一秒,从各方面完善自己,明确人生的方向并为人生使命的实现作好最后的准备!!
