涨知识：如何用英文称呼“师哥师姐”？
<p>中国的盆友们在聊天的时候，不管聊学习啊，聊生活，都离不开聊到有关师哥师姐，学长学姐，导师辅导员等等的内容。可是碰到这种表示尊敬的称谓（脸上笑嘻嘻，心里在呵呵），用英语聊天时，就蒙圈了，学长怎么说？师姐怎么说？</p><p>说到师哥师姐， 中国有句古话说的好:</p><p>师父领进门，修行在个人。</p><p><span word="The">The</span> <span word="master">master</span> <span word="teaches">teaches</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="trade">trade</span>, <span word="but">but</span> <span word="apprentice">apprentice</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="skill">skill</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="self">self</span>-<span word="made">made</span>.</p><p>这句话中出现了：师父（<span word="master">master</span>）以及徒弟（<span word="apprentice">apprentice</span>）。基于此，我们可以把师哥叫做<span word="senior">senior</span> <span word="apprentice">apprentice</span>或者 <span word="senior">senior</span> <span word="schoolfellow">schoolfellow</span>，但过于中式，不属于地道的表达方式。</p><p>那么怎么才算是地道的表达呢？</p><p>英语中有一个词汇：<span word="alumnus">alumnus</span>男校友 （注意：女校友是<span word="alumnae">alumnae</span>，复数形式为：<span word="alumni">alumni</span>）, 也许是最接近“师哥师弟”这层含义的单一词汇。例如：</p><p><span word="John">John</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="both">both</span> <span word="alumni">alumni</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="The">The</span> <span word="University">University</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="Chicago">Chicago</span>.</p><p>约翰和我都是芝加哥大学的。</p><p>但这句话同时暗示：“我们”都已经毕业了。</p><p>所以在英文中，我们很难找到一个单词能代表“师哥”的含义，所以需要其他表达来帮忙。我们可以说：</p><p><span word="We">We</span>'<span word="re">re</span> <span word="both">both</span> <span word="majoring">majoring</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="business">business</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="Stanford">Stanford</span> <span word="University">University</span>.</p><p>我们是在斯坦福大学学商务的同门。</p><p><span word="He">He</span> <span word="shares">shares</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="same">same</span> <span word="major">major</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="me">me</span> <span word="but">but</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="senior">senior</span>/<span word="junior">junior</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="me">me</span>.</p>
