美国本科2018年申请录取结果已经发放下来了，而今年芝加哥大学的文书题目一贯保持了奇葩、变态的学术气息。

   接下面我们先看看芝加哥大学的文书题目

1、In 2015, the city of Melbourne, Australia created a ''tree-mail'' service, in which all of the trees in the city received an email address so that residents could report any tree-related issues. As an unexpected result, people began to email their favorite trees sweet and occasionally humorous letters. Imagine this has been expanded to any object (tree or otherwise) in the world, and share with us the letter you'd send to your favorite.

2015年，澳大利亚的墨尔本市给每棵树木都创立了电邮地址以便人们上报城市绿化相关的问题。不料有许多人给他们最喜欢的树木写了甜蜜且有时相当幽默的邮件。想象这种“树邮服务”已经推广到了全世界的所有事物，与我们分享你写给最爱物件的邮件。

2、You're on a voyage in the thirteenth century, sailing across the tempestuous seas. What if, suddenly, you fell off the edge of the Earth?

在十三世纪的大航海时代，如果你在航行中突然掉出世界边缘后会怎么样?

3、The word floccinaucinihilipilification is the act or habit of describing or regarding something as unimportant or of having no value. It originated in the mid-18th century from the Latin words ''floccu,'' ''naucum,'' ''nihilum,'' and ''pilus'' - all words meaning ''of little use.'' Coin your own word using parts from any language you choose, tell us its meaning, and describe the plausible (if only to you) scenarios in which it would be most appropriately used.

Floccinaucinihilipilification这个单词，由拉丁词floccu、naucum、nihilum和pilus组成。这四个词也都是没用处的意思。用任何语言生造你自己的词，告诉我们它的含义，也描述其(即便只对你个人而言)可能的最恰当使用场景。

4、Lost your keys? Alohomora. Noisy roommate? Quietus. Feel the need to shatter windows for some reason? Finestra. Create your own spell, charm, jinx, or other means for magical mayhem. How is it enacted? Is there an incantation? Does it involve a potion or other magical object? If so, what's in it or what is it? What does it do?

钥匙丢了?Alohomora. 制造噪音的室友?Quietus. 因为某种原因想打破窗户?Finestra. (以上三个为哈利波特中的咒语)创造你自己的魔法符咒。如何施法?需要念咒语么?是否要用到魔药或其他魔法物品，它们会是什么?魔法符咒的作用是什么?

5、Imagine you’ve struck a deal with the Dean of Admissions himself, Dean Nondorf. It goes as follows: you’re guaranteed admission to the University of Chicago regardless of any circumstances that arise. This bond is grounded on the condition that you’ll obtain a blank, 8.5 x 11 piece of paper, and draw, write, sketch, shade, stencil, paint etc., anything and everything you want on it; your only limitations will be the boundaries of both sides on the single page. Now the catch… your submission, for the rest of your life, will always be the first thing anyone you meet for the first time will see. Whether it’s at a job interview, a blind date, arrival at your first Humanities class, before you even say, “hey,” they’ll already have seen your page, and formulated that first impression. Show us your page. What’s on it, and why? If your piece is largely or exclusively visual, please make sure to share a creator's accompanying statement of at least 300 words, which we will happily allow to be on its own, separate page. PS: This is a creative thought experiment, so please note: selecting this essay prompt does not guarantee your admission to UChicago, or forgive poor grades, criminal mischief, or any other “circumstances” that “may” “arise.”

想象你与招生办主任Nondorf达成了协议，你被保送进入芝加哥大学。条件是你需要在一张A4纸上写、画、素描、纸模涂鸦……就任何主题以你能想到的方式进行表达。当然，你提交的创作在之后的人生中会是所有你新认识的人第一眼看到的东西。不论是工作面试、相亲、还是上第一堂人文课程，在你说“嗨”之前，别人已经见过了那一张纸并形成了对你的第一印象。给我们展示这一页。纸上有什么内容，为什么?如果你提交的内容大部分或全部属于视觉艺术，请确保额外附上一个不少于300词的创作者说明。说明可以另占一页。附注：这是个创新思维实验，选择这道题目并不确保你会被我校录取或你的糟糕成绩、违法乱纪或者其他“情况”能被忽略。

6、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.

以探寻未知的冒险精神，提属于你自己的问题或者选择一个往年的文书题目。在这个过程中请带上原创性、创造力并写出发人深省的文字。好好利用你作为一位作家、思想家、梦想家、社会评论员、哲人、世界公民或芝加哥的未来社区成员的一些优点，冒一冒险并享受这个过程。

以上是今年的芝加哥文书题目，绝大部分的同学在看完题目后就会一头雾水，面对如此脑洞大开的文书题目不知如何下手，而芝加哥大学恰恰是在高分学霸中选择最契合学校气质的学生，正如芝加哥大学的校训"Crescat scientia; vita excolatur"  益智厚生，学生要对知识有极大的热情
