你觉得人生最快乐的是哪个阶段？
nǐ juéde rénshēng zuì kuàilè de shì nǎge jiēduàn？
What do you think is the happiest time in a person's life?
当然是上大学的时候咯！校园生活多丰富、自由！
dāngrán shì shàng dàxué de shíhou lo！xiàoyuán shēnghuó duō fēngfù、zìyóu！
Going to college, definitely! Campus life is so rich and free!
啊？自由？我怎么觉得中国的大学生没什么自由呢？大家几乎都要住校，而且在学业方面的选择性也不高。考大学前就要定专业，进了学校，就按部就班地读校方设置的科目。
ā？zìyóu？wǒ zěnme juéde Zhōngguó de dàxuéshēng méi shénme zìyóu ne？dàjiā jīhū dōu yào zhùxiào，érqiě zài xuéyè fāngmiàn de xuǎnzéxìng yě bù gāo。kǎo dàxué qián jiù yào dìng zhuānyè，jìn le xuéxiào，jiù ànbùjiùbān de dú xiàofāng shèzhì de kēmù。
Huh? Free? How come I feel like Chinese college students don't have much freedom? It seems like everyone has to live on-campus, and doesn't have a lot of choice over what to study. You need to choose your major before taking the university entrance exam. And when you've gotten into a school, you need to follow the rules and take the classes the school picks for you.
那是几年前的情况了。现在，好多大学都采用学分制，也开设了好多选修科目，鼓励学生多接触不同的知识。而且，换专业也比过去容易多了。总之，现在中国大学的制度和氛围早就不像以前那么死板了。
nà shì jǐnián qián de qíngkuàng le。xiànzài，hǎo duō dàxué dōu cǎiyòng xuéfēnzhì，yě kāishè le hǎo duō xuǎnxiū kēmù，gǔlì xuésheng duō jiēchù bùtóng de zhīshi。érqiě，huàn zhuānyè yě bǐ guòqù róngyì duō le。zǒngzhī，xiànzài Zhōngguó dàxué de zhìdù hé fēnwéi zǎo jiù bù xiàng yǐqián nàme sǐbǎn le。
That's how things used to be in the past. Now, a lot of universities are credit-based, and they've started up a lot of elective courses. They encourage students to try out unfamiliar fields of knowledge. And changing your major is much easier today than it used to be. In sum, for a long time now modern Chinese universities' rules and atmosphere haven't been that rigid.
