4. She hates Princeton.
4. 她厌恶母校普林斯顿大学?
During the 2008 presidential campaign, Obama’s senior thesis, “Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community,” was exhumed from the archives of the university and fueled the perception that she detested it. “My experiences at Princeton have made me far more aware of my ‘Blackness’ than ever before,” she wrote. “I have found that at Princeton no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my White professors and classmates try to be toward me, I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don’t belong. Regardless of the circumstances under which I interact with Whites at Princeton, it often seems as if, to them, I will always be Black first and a student second.”After she declined invitations to return for special events and skipped her 25-year reunion with a reference to a scheduling conflict, speculation about her animosity intensified. Princeton alumni — I’m one — celebrate reunions with ferocity. Skipping one’s 25th? That’s heresy.
在2008年总统选举期间,米歇尔的毕业论文《普林斯顿教育的黑人和黑人社区》被挖出来,在论文中她写道:“在普林斯顿的经历让我比以往更加意识到自己的‘黑人特征’……不管我的一些白人教授与同学如何试图向我展现思想开明的一面,我有时仍会感觉自己像是校园中的一个游客,就好像我真的不属于这里。”人们就此猜测她厌恶自己的母校,尤其是在她拒绝了学校很多活动的邀请以及她的毕业25年周年聚会后,这种猜测进一步加剧。
