一个父亲给儿子的一段话：为什么在ChatGPT时代仍然需要接受大学教育？（A father's message to his son: Why is it still necessary to receive a university education in the age of ChatGPT?）

在ChatGPT时代，知识和信息变得丰富可得，很容易让人误以为正式教育已不再必要。但是，一位国际知名导演的儿子选择在南加州大学学习电影制作的消息提醒我们，大学教育不仅仅是为了获取实用技能。In the age of ChatGPT, knowledge and information are readily available, making it easy to believe that formal education is no longer necessary. However, the news of the son of an internationally acclaimed director choosing to study film production at USC reminds us that university education is not just about acquiring practical skills.

大学教育不仅是学习有用的东西，也是塑造个人品格、积累人生经验的形式。它是一种个人发展的方式，可以塑造一个人的世界观和身份认同。此外，大学教育也可以作为进入职业世界的跳板。它不仅是学习能够谋生的技能，还包括获得社会认可的过程。University education is not just about learning useful things, but also about developing one's character and accumulating life experience. It is a form of personal development that can shape one's worldview and identity. In addition, university education can also serve as a stepping stone into the professional world. It is not just about learning skills that can provide for a living, but also about gaining social recognition.

即使是一位成功导演的儿子也需要继续接受大学教育，说明终身学习和个人成长的重要性。这也突显了教育价值超越实用技能的意义。在ChatGPT时代，年轻人应该记住，教育是丰富他们的生活和塑造个人品格的手段，而不仅仅是为了找工作或赚钱。Even the son of a successful director has to continue receiving university education, indicating the importance of lifelong learning and personal growth. It also highlights the value of education beyond practical skills. In the age of ChatGPT, young people should remember that education is a means of enriching their lives and shaping their personal character, not just for finding a job or earning income.

大学生活是与不同人和文化接触的绝佳机会。与来自不同背景和学科的同学和教授互动可以拓宽视野，发展社交技能。University life is an excellent opportunity to come into contact with different people and cultures. Interacting with classmates and professors from different backgrounds and disciplines can broaden one's horizons and develop social skills.

大学教育是探索自己兴趣和才能的阶段。大学课程和活动可以帮助年轻人更好地了解自己的兴趣、才能和价值观，从而帮助他们确定职业方向和未来的生活目标。University education is a stage for exploring one's interests and talents. University courses and activities can help a young person better understand their interests, talents, and values, which can then help them determine their career direction and future life goals.

大学教育是一种心智训练，可以帮助年轻人发展独立思考和判断能力。在大学，学生将会接触到各种学术观点和思想，通过学习和讨论，他们可以学会独立思考，分析和评估不同观点的有效性。University education is a kind of mental training that can help young people develop independent thinking and judgment. In university, students will encounter various academic perspectives and ideas, and through learning and discussion, they can learn to think independently, analyze, and evaluate the validity of different viewpoints.

大学生活可以提供各种领导机会，比如参加社团或学生政府。通过参与这些组织，年轻人可以发展领导能力，学习协作和组织团队，这些都是职场必备的技能。University life can provide various leadership opportunities, such as clubs or student government. By participating in these organizations, young people can develop leadership skills, learn to collaborate, and organize teams, which are all essential skills in the workplace.

教育也可以帮助年轻人在未来的职业生涯中取得成功。除了专业知识和技能外，大学教育还为学生提供实习机会、工作经验和职业规划支持，这些都可以帮助年轻人在就业市场中脱颖而出。Education can also help young people succeed in their future careers. In addition to professional knowledge and skills, university education also provides students with internship opportunities, work experience, and career planning support, which can help young people stand out in the job market.

总之，在 ChatGPT 时代，大学教育对年轻人的生活有着重要的影响。除了个人发展和职业道路外，大学教育还可以在各种其他方面对年轻人的生活产生积极影响。它可以拓宽视野，培养独立思考和创新能力，建立自信和自尊心，并发展领导技能。In conclusion, university education has a significant impact on a young person's life in the age of ChatGPT. Besides personal development and career paths, university education can positively impact a young person's life in various other ways. It can broaden one's horizons, develop independent thinking and innovation, build confidence and self-esteem, and develop leadership skills.
