區別
Difference
"I can always tell a graduate class from an undergraduate class," observed the instructor in one of my graduate engineering courses at California State University in Los Angeles. "When I say, 'Good afternoon,' the undergraduates respond, 'Good afternoon." But the graduate students just write it down."

英語小故事三
美德
Virtue
Many years after receiving my graduate degree, I returned to the State University of New York at Binghamton as a faculty member. One day in a crowded elevator, someone remarked on its inefficiency. I said the elevators had not changed in the 20 years since I began there as a student.
When the door finally opened, I felt a compassionate pat on my back, and turned to see an elderly nun smiling at me. "You'll get that degree, dear," she whispered. "Perseverance is a virtue."
美 德
獲取研究生學位多年以後,我回到位於賓翰頓的紐約州立大學當教員。一天,電梯裡很擁擠,有人抱怨電梯效率太低。我說自我在那裡當學生起,20年來電梯一直沒有換過。
最後當電梯門開啟時,我感到有人在我的背上同情地拍了一下,回過頭來我看到一位年長的修女正在朝我微笑。“你會拿到學位的,親愛的,”她低聲說道:“堅持不懈是一種美德。
