巧妙的语言使用、富有洞察力的观点、引人入胜的评论——这些品质使我们在第四届年度学生评论大赛中通过四轮评审和创纪录的 1,964 份提交作品而获奖。我们在另一篇文章中发布了 10 条获奖评论,但以下是您可以期待阅读的一些优秀学生写作的味道:
在评论同名专辑“Lil Pump”时,16岁的David Chmielewski写道:
That said, while the nutrition label on a jar of mayonnaise may be more clever than this album, it’s still an enjoyable listen. And therein lies the true genius of Lil Pump and other rappers of his ilk; their lyricism may not be amazing, but their tracks are downright fun.
在马里兰州罗克维尔的一家餐馆China Canteen的评论中,17岁的Emily Tian写道:
We first try a traditional dish, 夫妻肺片, which translates literally to husband-wife-lung-slices. It’s not really lung, the menu coaches us, but the marriage of thinly sliced beef tendon and chili oil, constellated with peanuts, is nevertheless a breathless one.
在对富士通“快乐黑客键盘”的评论中,18岁的Simon Levien解释说:
Fujitsu went with Topre key switches, lightly tactile rubber domes making each key a cushion. Typing is like pleasing pitter-patter, a sound fondly dubbed the Topre “thick-thock.” I’d say it feels like punching a pillow, soft but quick — perfect to add some oomph to your typing speed and stamina.
学生们可以选择《纽约时报》评论的任何类型的创意作品,他们写了从电视节目和音乐会巡回演出到诗集和时装秀的所有内容。恭喜我们的 10 位获奖者、13 位亚军和 32 位荣誉奖,下面按姓氏字母顺序排列。
