“洗脑大学”课程内容及收费情况

　　The founders believe that people with too little time to spare need after-hours instruction in how to use what little they have to live a more fulfilled existence. "Perhaps you have a burning question for a paleontologist. Perhaps you're considering a career change and want to talk first-hand to a photographer or landscape designer. The School of Life has a large freelance faculty who are willing to meet with you for an hour of chat in exchange for a small fee,” the website explains, listing 50 experts.

　　学校创建者认为，那些没有多少空闲时间的人需要额外的指导，学会用他们有限的时间过上更加充实的生活。“也许你正有一个十分想知道的问题要询问古生物学家，也许你正考虑换个工作、想直接跟某位摄影师或景观设计师谈谈。生活学校有很多自由职业的教职员，愿意跟你面对面谈上一个小时，只收取一点点费用。”网站如是说明，并列出了50位专家。

　　Among courses being offered later this year are instruction in life, love, work, family and politics. A typical course, in love, will explore why relationships are so complicated and why attraction ebbs and flows. "We draw on ideas from philosophy, psychoanalysis, literature and art. We discover what the likes of Plato, Shakespeare, Tolstoy and Freud had to say about compassion, empathy and self-love," the instructors promise.

　　今年晚些时候开设的课程将包括关于生活、爱情、工作、家庭及政治方面的指导。标准的爱情课程将会探究情感关系为什么如此复杂，以及相互之间的吸引为什么起起落落。讲师们承诺，“我们将从哲学、心理分析、文学和艺术中选取内容，我们将了解像柏拉图、莎士比亚、托尔斯泰和弗洛伊德这样的人关于同情、共鸣及自爱的认知。”

　　Courses run for six weeks and cost 195 pounds.

　　这些课程为期六周，学费195英镑。
