    PhD defense 看图说话

    时间地点
    人物:我和我的paranymphs -- 李蔚and Carlos

     

    Committee members. 正教授都穿gown,不是正教授穿西装。

     

    观众:公开答辩,谁都可以听。远在异乡,没有七姑八姨的亲友团,大部分是同事。

     

    答辩开始先祈祷,因为Tilburg历史上是天主教会的学校。

     

    答辩中。我答得很快,居然在45分钟内被问了8个问题。一点儿都没紧张,自我感觉很好,Carlos说他比我还紧张。

     

    提问时间到。拿仪杖的主持一出来,无论说到哪儿都要结束了。我和Els都很高兴。

     

    等了10分钟,Committee回来了,授学位。桌上的蓝皮书是我的论文。

     

    抱着我的文凭去reception。就是那个蓝色的圆筒。

     

    Reception 大家在祝贺我。衣服的垫肩太高,我的肩太宽,显得脖子很短。只能给这身衣服打65分。

     

    晚上在中餐馆请大家吃饭,party.

     

    帮我照照片的Robert, 祖扬李蔚贤伉俪,土耳其帅哥Berk
    室友Carlos, 感谢他为我组织的party.
    对同事和朋友说,不用凑钱给我买礼物了,我会把大家凑的钱捐给四川地震灾区。结果居然凑了1003欧元,很感动,捐给了红十字会。

    This is an impressive set of pictures! Congratulations for the PhD defense! This is such a special achievement in life, to defend a thesis (on which you spent several years) in front of a committee of experts. I have to admit that they all look special in their gowns! It must be scary to stand there and here all the questions about your work, but I am very confident that you did a wonderful job and that your defense was an absolute masterpiece!! And, the donation to the Red Cross to help victims of the Chinese earthquake is a very beautiful gesture, which deserves a lot of respect! A big donation like this will helpe a lot of people! Very very very nice!

    真不错。有这么个仪式比光答辩好多了,而且会让人记忆深刻。这么好的传统怎么没发扬到其他地区?感觉我们很多人读了很多年的PHD,最后却是草草收场,拿了学位那张纸而已。还是你们这样好!羡慕,另外再次恭喜一下Dr.Liu!
