Dressing

　　穿衣

　　In addition to eating and drinking, it’s also important how you dress for exams.

　　除了饮食，考试期间的穿着也很重要。

　　1. Layer up

　　备件厚衣

　　As temperatures and humidity rise, you’ll want to stick to something short-sleeved as a top, whether it’s a flowing graphic tank top or a comfy T-shirt. That said, it could get chilly in the café or exam room if the air conditioner is cranked up to compensate for the weather outside. Be sure to throw your favorite hoodieor oversized cardigan into your bag to make sure you’re not shivering by the time you get to Question 8.

　　随着温度和湿度的上升，你也许一直穿着短袖上衣，要么是无袖背心，要么是休闲T恤，但是为了抵御室外高温，咖啡馆或是自习室的空调往往开得很大，很容易因此着凉。所以，放一件你最爱的卫衣或是大号的开衫在包里，以免你在做题时冻得瑟瑟发抖。

　　2. Stay cozy

　　舒适为上

　　You’ll want loose, flexible clothing from top to bottom – particularly something you can doze off in at a moment’s notice. If it works for a runner traversing the city streets, it’ll work for you as you ploughthrough that last stack of notecards.

　　你需要宽松、有弹性的一身衣服，尤其是当你想要小憩之时。如果这件衣服能让人穿着在城市中奔跑，那么也一定适合苦苦钻研最后一叠笔记卡片的你。

　　3. Accessorize, but not too much

　　配饰可有，不宜过多

　　During finals week, it doesn’t hurt to dress things up a little bit and throw on a pair of earrings or a bracelet, but the most important thing is to stay casual and comfortable. Too much chunky jewelry could throw off that delicate balance.

　　就算在考试周，稍加打扮也无妨，比如速速戴个耳环或是项链，关键是保持舒适和随意即可。太多厚重的首饰会打破舒适与美丽之间的微妙平衡。

　　Sleeping

　　睡眠

　　All of that studying during finals week will be for nothing if you don’t get enough sleep. Sleep deprivationis all too common as the semester wraps up, but it’s also worth avoiding to ensure your GPA stays in top shape.

　　一旦睡眠不足，你考试周期间的所有学习都将功亏一篑。期末时睡眠不足再常见不过，但是为了你的GPA，保证睡眠也是值得的。

　　1. Ensure solid sleep

　　保证有质量的睡眠

　　Devise your time meticulously to stay ahead of the game. You know your body, your study habits, and your finals schedule, so plan accordingly to squeeze in six to eight hours of solid sleep. If the trek back home would make you lose too much precious studying time, scope out a comfortable spot in the library to catch some sleep. No judgment. It’s finals week, and you’re not alone.

　　考试前合理安排自己的时间。只有你知道自己的身体情况、学习习惯以及期末时间表，因此在做计划时一定要挤出每天6-8小时的高效睡眠。如果“长途跋涉”回家会花费你珍贵的复习时间，那么就在图书馆找一处睡觉。不会有人说三道四，在考试周时，你一定不是一个人这样做。

　　2. Take naps

　　打个盹

　　Take time for short naps here and there as well. Put your head down or lie down and set an alarm for half an hour to get some quick power sleep to recharge and wake up more alert, if that sort of thing works for you.

　　时而打个盹。你可以定半个小时的闹钟，然后趴下或是躺下小憩一下，给自己“充个电”，醒来后会更加清醒。不过，这种方法并不一定适合所有人。

　　3. Keep your environment relaxing

　　找个放松的环境

　　Dim the lights, put in some earplugs, or throw on some background music to help yourself fall asleep and give your body a soothing respite from the stress of finals week. This may be tough with an abundance of coffee and computer screens, but avoid stimulants before getting some sleep (and stay hydrated).

　　把灯调暗，带上耳塞，或是放一些有助睡眠的背景音乐，让你的身体在考试周的重压下得到充分休息。但是，对于喝了很多咖啡或是看了很久电脑屏幕的人而言，这并非易事，因此睡前避免这类引起大脑兴奋的活动，(并注意补充水分)。
