天才! 美國少年同時獲頒高中文憑和哈佛大學學位大綱

A 16-year-old Kansas boy will soon earn his high school diploma -- and a few days later, he'll travel to Harvard to collect his bachelor's degree.
堪薩斯州一名16歲男孩很快就會拿到他的高中畢業證書，而幾天後，他將前往哈佛大學領取學士學位證書。

Ulysses High School senior Braxton Moral will attend both commencement ceremonies in May, becoming the only student to successfully pursue a four-year high school degree and a bachelor's degree from Harvard at the same time, the Hutchinson News reported.
據《哈欽森新聞》報道，尤利西斯高中的高三學生布拉克斯頓·莫雷爾將於5月參加這兩場畢業典禮，成爲唯一一名同時成功獲得四年制高中學位和哈佛大學學士學位的學生。

Harvard has changed the rules, said Braxton's father, Carlos Moral, so his son will be "the one and only" reaching that milestone. Braxton will be 17 when he gets his diplomas.
布拉克斯頓的父親卡洛斯·莫雷爾表示，哈佛改變了規則，所以他的兒子將是“唯一”達到這一里程碑的人。布拉克斯頓拿到畢業證書時是17歲。

The Ulysses school district allowed him to take some high school classes while he was still in middle school. Before high school, he took a class offered at Fort Hays State University. Then he was admitted into Harvard.
尤利西斯學區允許布拉克斯頓在上初中的時候上一些高中課程。在上高中之前，他參加了福特海斯州立大學開設的一門課程。然後就被哈佛大學錄取了。

Braxton simultaneously studied at the high school and the Harvard Extension School. The program typically serves adults who work and can't attend classes on campus full time.
於是布拉克斯頓同時在高中和哈佛大學的拓展學校學習。該項目通常爲那些要工作、不能全日制在校園裏上課的成年人提供服務。

Ulysses High School math teacher Patsy Love served as the proctor for the Harvard program, administering Braxton's tests in Kansas.
尤利西斯高中的數學教師帕特西·洛夫是哈佛大學這個項目的學監，監督管理布拉克斯頓在堪薩斯州的考試。

"We constantly are monitoring Braxton to make sure he is not too overwhelmed," said Julie Moral, Braxton's mother. "No achievement is worth him being unhappy."
布拉克斯頓的母親朱莉·莫拉爾表示：“我們一直在監管布拉克斯頓，以確保他不會有過重的學習負擔。以他的不開心來換取學業成就根本不值得。”
