转眼十数年过去，小学，初中，和高中都已经成为历史，而大学生涯也仅剩最后一年。怀着满腹希望的俺来到英国接受第三年的学习和生活。临行之前便听了讲座，意识到了出国学习可能面临的“文化冲击”。
于是到来之后保持着谨慎的态度接受着“异国风情”的熏陶。所幸近几个月内并未感到什么冲击，但是值得一提的就是国外大学的图书馆。回顾以往，自小受到的教育就告诉我们：图书馆是一个安静的地方。无论是老师们的嘱咐，图书馆管理员的神情，还是墙上挂着的大大的“静”字都无时无刻的提醒着我们。作为结果，俺自以为养成了在图书馆能够保持安静的好习惯。
初来乍到的日子里，学校并未开学，因而图书馆显得有些清闲。人们两两三三地团聚而坐，偶尔讨论几句，墙上贴着些公益广告提示人们养成良好习惯和保持安静，倒是和国内的情景有些类似。然后从开学前两天开始，图书馆内的人数就剧增起来，一楼的大厅也有些满座的意味。
稍微有些出乎意料的是，纵使墙上黑白分明地写着“QUIET”，真正注意到的人却是不多，Ground Floor的大厅颇有些人声鼎沸的感觉。咋一想也能理解，新生刚到来时总会有些兴奋，有些喧哗可以理解，便也没有什么别的想法。未曾想到的是日子渐渐过去，噪音却未曾减小，嬉笑的，聊天的，打情骂俏的，甚至美声合唱的都已不再新鲜。放眼望去，也并未看出人们有什么意见，仅仅是继续做自己的事，也看不出任何愤怒的情绪，就好似习以为常一般。无奈，只得理解为国外学校的一种习俗了。
不过对此也表示能够接受，虽说不至于到“Shock”的地步，但也还是来这儿抱怨几句。

It’s really a tough task to translate the previous post to English without losing its meaning. Therefore I’m just going to rewrite in English and provide a brief idea.
In my opinion, the library of UCLan is the most noisy one among all libraries that I’ve ever been to in my life. This is possibly due to the education we received in China told us to be quiet in libraries.
However, there are signs telling people to be “QUIET” but none of them seems to be working. People are laughing, giggling, chatting and even singing all around while none of the others take any action to stop this. Hence I suppose that this is a custom in the UK and I shall try to get along with it. However, I do not think it is a good thing to learn and do.
Whatever, these are currently my only complaints about this “exotic culture” and everything else seems fine.
