Students dressed in costumes chased each other with shaving cream in a massive foam fight at the University of St Andrews on Monday, as part of a decades old tradition for newcomers.
身穿造型服飾的學生們,週一在聖安德魯斯大學一場大型泡沫戰中,帶著刮鬍膏相互追逐,這是數十年來迎接新鮮人的傳統之一。
Each year, freshers at the Scottish university, where Prince William met his now wife Kate Middleton when they were both students, join so-called academic families where they are adopted by older students for mentoring.
在這間威廉王子和現任妻子凱特.密道頓學生時代邂逅的蘇格蘭大學,每一年,新鮮人會加入所謂的學家,由舊生認養以便督導。
Several weeks into the first term, the university holds its annual "Raisin Weekend", during which the academic parents hold parties for the new students. The weekend culminates in "Raisin Monday", when they dress the new students in costumes and send them into the university main’s lawn for a shaving foam fight. (Reuters)
