Sun Xiaodong hasn’t received a single job offer yet, but he isn’t concerned. The computer science major at Huazhong University of Science and Technology has no intentions of starting work immediately after graduating. Instead, the 23-year-old is planning a trip to Sichuan and Tibet with his classmates to celebrate their graduation. 尽管孙晓东（音译）还没找到工作，但他并不担心。毕业于华中科技大学计算机科学专业、现年23岁的他并不打算一毕业便开始工作，而是正计划着和同学一起前往四川和西藏，来场毕业之旅。 Apart from its ritual function of saying farewell to college life, a graduation trip now also serves as a form of escapism and soul-searching for graduates. 除了作为告别大学生活的仪式外，如今的毕业旅行也成了毕业生逃离现实追寻自我的途径之一。 Yu Dongxue, 22, a journalism major at Sichuan University, thinks a graduation trip with her classmates is a once in a lifetime experience – they’re not married and are not bound by job obligations. So, even though Yu already took a loan to finish college, she is still borrowing money to embark on her graduation rite to Jiuzhaigou. 来自四川大学资讯专业、22岁的郁冬雪（音译）认为，和同学一起踏上毕业旅行这样的经历一生仅此一次——大家都还没有结婚，也没有工作职责的束缚。因此，虽然是靠贷款读完大学，她还是决定借点钱来筹备自己的九寨沟毕业之旅。 |
