佩服佩服
文科方面可以学的东西很多。既然你懂好多语言，可以申请比较语言学。也可以申请 culture 方面的。到欧洲基本上没奖学金，美国是第一选择。而且信天赋，所以很珍惜有天赋的人。申请美国只要把你经理讲出来肯定能拿到奖学金的。毕业后回来在国内的名校当教授，搞学术研究挺好的。

真实牛人呀，佩服！
以前最最羡慕不用功就能轻易取得好成绩的人，不过随着阅人渐多，开始觉得智商高只是小聪明，真正的大智慧是目标清晰踏实努力的人。当然有大成就者还是要两者兼备的。楼主可要珍惜天分，好好规划哦。

上面提到的quantitative research是什么呀？是不是有qualitative/analytic research什么的？小弟不懂啊。

同意楼上的意见,我觉的楼主可以到新东方试试,一举两得

去美国留学除了考ｇｒｅ和ｔｓｅ之外，还用不用考托福？什么情况下得考？

回楼上， definitely.

还有，如果我们最有语言天赋的人才也只能跑到新东方那种地方去，我认为是一种悲哀。

不好意思，还的问一个问题
即使是全奖（包括学费，住宿费，医疗保险费什么的），那么生活费还是得自己承担吧？那在美国生活大概一年得多少的生活费用？具体一点，在美国一般一年要吃多少钱？呵呵

如果你申请ph.D，他给你全奖的话，就会给你一个一年的stipend，多则18，000，少则6，000（据我所知的数目，可能不确切），每月大概就是500－1500dollar。1500是绝对够了，对于学生而言（当然过不了富豪或中产生活），无论在纽约还是中小城市（不过每月剩下的余额当然是根据城市大小和生活水准了）

吃的话，最多200－300一月吧，不算贵。hope this is clear enough.

另，我今天很忙，只好先block你了，呵呵。明天，或者晚上吧，抱歉。

I can't agree more. N.Oriental is kind of cultural degeneration. The trivial test-taking skills they teach are nothing more than those appeared in books from Arco, Barron, or Princeton Reviews, etc. in as early as 1980's. -_-# To make things worse, N.O. plagriazes ETS sample questions shamlessly. :X

The so-called 'Red Bible' is crammed with various mistakes in its Chinese translation, its English interpretation literally replicated from M-W dictionary. Why it remains popular is just beyond me. @_@

Speaking of linguistic aptitude and achievments, I hereby point out that the sponsor of the current topic under discussion had better bear in mind that you could never have learned too much. The fact that you can exhaust your school library merely indicates that the library is not large enough. :P And, as a Chinese, you really need to improve mandarin at least to the degree that no native speakers would misunderstand you of speaking a western language. That wouldn't prove difficult if you're virtually talented in language. :)

PS: forgive me for my failure to respond in Chinese as there's something wrong with the computer.....b It just happened a few seconds ago and I've no idea how to switch back to Chinese Input. :(
