“The aim of argument, or of discussion, should not be victory, but progress.” – Joseph Joubert Sometimes, people talk a lot about popular subjects to assure ‘victory’ in conversation or understanding, and leave behind topics of less popularity, but great personal or intellectual importance. What do you think is important but under-discussed? 争辩和讨论的目的不是胜利，而是进步。——Joseph Joubert 人们常常热衷于对时下流行的各种话题争个面红耳赤，那些具有深刻个人意义，充满智慧闪光点但不博人眼球的问题却无人问津。你觉得还有哪些值得被注意的话题呢？
Due to a series of clerical errors, there is exactly one typo (an extra letter, a removed letter, or an altered letter) in the name of every department at the University of Chicago. Oops! Describe your new intended major. Why are you interested in it and what courses or areas of focus within it might you want to explore? Potential options include Commuter Science, Bromance Languages and Literatures, Pundamentals: Issues and Texts, Ant History... a full list of unmodified majors ready for your editor’s eye is available here: https://collegeadmissions./academics/majors-minors. 由于工作上的小失误，芝加哥大学每个专业的名称里都写错了一点。请按照这个“全新的”专业列表，阐述你为什么想学习该专业，哪些课程或者相关领域值得你深入探索？完整版未校对过的专业列表请戳此处：https://collegeadmissions./academics/majors-minors。
Earth. Fire. Wind. Water. Heart! Captain Planet supposes that the world is made up of these five elements. We’re familiar with the previously-noted set and with actual elements like hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon, but select and explain another small group of things (say, under five) that you believe compose our world. 地球超人认为世界是由土，火，风，水，心灵这五种基本元素组成的。而我们通常认为世界是由氧元素，氢元素和碳元素这些实际元素组成的，那么你认为组成世界的基本元素是哪几种呢？请列举不超过五种元素并阐述选择他们的理由。
The late New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham once said 'Fashion is the armor to survive the reality of everyday life. I don’t think you could do away with it. It would be like doing away with civilization.' Tell us about your “armor.” 纽约时报的摄影师Bill Cunningham曾说过：“时尚是守护人们不被繁重生活中击垮的盔甲，是每个人生存的不可或缺，是文明社会的“无限宝石。“请谈谈你的“盔甲”。
Fans of the movie Sharknado say that they enjoy it because “it’s so bad, it’s good.” Certain automobile owners prefer classic cars because they “have more character.” And recently, vinyl record sales have skyrocketed because it is perceived that they have a warmer, fuller sound. Discuss something that you love not in spite of but rather due to its quirks or imperfections. 风飞鲨系列电影的影迷喜爱这部经典低分电影是因为这部电影简直是垃圾中的战斗机；老爷车也不乏粉丝喜欢，因为它们虽然古老却很有个性；最近已经过时的黑胶唱片因其饱满生动的声音又迎来了第二春…… 请谈一谈你有什么东西是因为他们的不完美而喜欢上的。
In the spirit of adventurous inquiry, pose your own question or choose one of our past prompts. Be original, creative, thought provoking. Draw on your best qualities as a writer, thinker, visionary, social critic, sage, citizen of the world, or future citizen of the University of Chicago; take a little risk, and have fun. 人不冒险枉少年。请大胆选择一个我们过去的问题，或自己提出一个问题来阐述，只要这个问题发人深思，独一无二。请尽情表现作为一个作家、思想家、智者或者是芝加哥大学一份子所具有的素养，知无不言，言无不尽。 欢迎大家在评论区交流自己的文书构思~（更欢迎你们找摊床上的Maggie唠嗑谢谢！） |
