韦德一家四胞胎共收到了几十所知名大学的录取通知书,最后他们选择了去同一所大学。
The brothers from Liberty Township, near Cincinnati, were all accepted for Harvard and Yale. After a lot of thought, they decided they would continue to stick together by all taking the offer from Yale.
四胞胎来自美国俄亥俄州辛辛那提市自由镇区,他们同时被哈佛大学和耶鲁大学所录取。仔细思考之后,他们决定一起去耶鲁大学上学。
NBC News said it had been an easy decision for 18-year-old Nick, Zach and Nigel Wade. “The school treated us like family,” Nigel said the night the deadline for deciding which college to attend.
据美国全国广播公司报道,尼克、扎卡利和尼格尔很容易就做出了去耶鲁大学的决定。在选择志愿截止日期的那天晚上,尼格尔说:“耶鲁大学把我们当成家人。”
But Aaron Wade, who was also accepted to Stanford University, was reportedly much less certain - especially after he visited Stanford’s campus in California.
亚伦也收到了斯坦福大学的录取通知书。在加利福尼亚州参观完斯坦福大学之后,亚伦有些拿不准主意了。
“There was a part of me that didn’t want to like the school because it would make my decision easy,” he said. “Alas, that didn’t happen. I loved it as well.”
“希望自己有一点不喜欢斯坦福大学,这样我就能更容易地做出选择。”亚伦说:“唉,可是我真的太喜欢这所学校了。”
He added: “But at the end of the day, Yale made sense logistically, and it’s an amazing school. I don’t regret my decision even though right now it kind of feels like a sacrifice.”
亚伦还说道:“但是在截止日期那天,我还是选择了耶鲁大学,耶鲁大学太棒了。虽然现在感觉有点不甘,但我不会后悔自己的决定。”
The news channel said the four brothers decided on Yale after receiving an “extraordinary” financial aid package, which no other college could beat.
据报道,耶鲁大学给四胞胎提供了丰厚的奖学金,这是其他学校完全无法媲美的。
Their father Darrin Wade, a senior staff software architect for General Electric, said: “Yale won."
