At a recent Harvard colloquium, a bigwig from one of the large consultancies told his audience of star professors that the only person he valued at the school was the admissions officer.

最近哈佛大学的研讨会上，来自一家大型咨询公司的权威人士告的各位著名教授，他认为学校最有价值的人就生负责人。

So he said something like this: " The principal of Beverly Hills High School" —that's where I went to school—" announced today that the faculty of the high school will travel to Sacramento on Thursday for a colloquium in new teaching methods."

“比弗利山庄高中的校长”——我就里上的学——“今天宣布，这所高中的全体教职员工将于周四前往萨克拉门托，参加一个关于新教学方法的研讨会。”

Speaking with my colleagues about this, we had a wonderful colloquium and I was speaking to some of my colleagues about making sense of this.

和我的同事们讨论这个问题时，我们举行了一次很棒的研讨会，我还和一些同事探讨如何理解这个问题。
