Every fall, I explain to a fresh batch of Ph.D. students what a Ph.D. is.
It's hard to describe it in words.
So, I use pictures.
Read below for the illustrated guide to a Ph.D.
每年秋季,我都要向新来的博士解释什么是博士。因为很难用语言描述,所以我用图来描述。

Imagine a circle that contains all of human knowledge:
想象一个圆代表了人类所知道的知识:

By the time you finish elementary school, you know a little:
当你从中学毕业时,你懂了一点知识:

By the time you finish high school, you know a bit more:
当时高中毕业时,你懂得了更多知识:

With a bachelor's degree, you gain a specialty:
当你拿到了学士学位的时候,你有一专长了:

A master's degree deepens that specialty:
硕士学位让你显得更加专业:

Reading research papers takes you to the edge of human knowledge:
在你读了很多的论文后,你慢慢的来到了人类知识的边缘:

Once you're at the boundary, you focus:
一旦你来到知识的边缘处,你开始把研究重心放在某个点:

You push at the boundary for a few years:
你在这点上奋斗一些年后:

Until one day, the boundary gives way:
直到有一天,你终于突破了:

And, that dent you've made is called a Ph.D.:
然后,你才能被称为博士:

Of course, the world looks different to you now:
在你面前,世界变得不同了:

So, don't forget the bigger picture:
记住,可别忘记整个背景(你只是在某一点上有所作为了):

Keep pushing.
所以,保持努力。
