Some of you may be familiar with the concept of naked parties popular at college campuses across the nation but perhaps especially Yale; in any event, I thought I would attach a relevant email sent to the freshman class about something its anonymous author purports to be the first Pundit-sponsored prankish naked party of the year.你们有些人可能熟悉的概念，赤裸各方风行于大学校园全国各地，但也许是耶鲁;无论如何，我以为我会附上相关的电子邮件发送到大一班级里的东西其匿名作者的意图借此成为首先将以赞助prankish赤裸党的一年。 I was out all afternoon participating in a fun Trumbull-freshmen-only scavenger hunt across campus, and came back to find this:我是出于整个下午都参加了一项有趣trumbull -新生只清道夫亨特跨越校园，回来找到这样的：

Dear Freshmen,亲爱的新生，

Some of you were visited several nights ago by upperclassmen who delivered to your suites invitations to “The Masquerade.” The invitations read:你们当中有些人参观了数晚前由当地高中的人送到你的套房邀请，以"伪装" ，邀请函内容如下：

“You and one guest are cordially invited by a distinguished group of peers to attend the Masquerade on Saturday, the Fifteenth of September. Please arrive in formal attire at the gates to the Hall of Graduate Studies at nine thirty post merediem. Tell no one and do not be late. Non Ducor, Duco.” "你和一个客户都亲切地邀请了一位杰出的一群同龄出席伪装上周六，第十五次的九月，请抵达正式礼服在家门口向大厅的研究生课程在九年第三十二邮政merediem 。告诉任何人，不要迟到。杜科非，克拉克县" 。

An image of the invitation, for your reference, is attached. Some of you may be under the impression that you have been tapped for something, or invited to a gathering hosted by a secret society, such as the Yale Society for the Exploration of Campus Secrets (YSECS).一个形象的邀请，供大家参考，现附上。你们当中有些人可能会下的印象是，你已挖掘的东西，或应邀聚会主办的一个秘密社会，如耶鲁大学的社会，为探索校园秘密（ ysecs ） 。

Sadly, this is not the case. Your ‘hosts’ are the Pundits, the infamous Senior pranking society.可悲的是，这种情况并非如此，你的'东道主' ，是专家，臭名昭著的高级pranking社会。

Should you choose to go to the gates of the HGS this evening, here is what will happen:如果你选择到盖茨的硫化汞今晚，在这里是会发生什么：

1) You will be led to an off-campus location by the Pundits. 1 ）您将导致场外校园地点，由专家。

2) There will be a party there. 2 ）有一个党。

3) Before very long, and at a certain cue, the Pundits will take off all of their clothes. 3 ）之前很长，在某一个线索，学者将起飞，他们的所有衣服。

4) You will feel rather awkward, unless you’re into that sort of thing. 4 ） ，你会感到颇为尴尬的，除非你喜欢把这种事情。

The party is the first of the Pundits’ well-known naked parties this season, and you were invited–if you were–in hopes of making you uncomfortable for their amusement. It seems to me that while the Pundits are often very clever and entertaining, that deceiving freshmen for one’s own entertainment should not be anyone’s idea of a good time, and that the intended victims of the prank should at least have the opportunity to choose to go, or not, in full knowledge of the nature of the event.党是第一的学者'著名的裸体各方在本赛季的，你被邀请-如果您是-在希望的，使你不舒服，他们的机动游戏，它在我看来，而专家往往是很聪明和娱乐，即欺骗新生为自己的娱乐，不应被任何人的想法的一个好时机，并表示有意受害者的恶作剧，至少应该有机会选择去，还是没有，在充分了解的性质该活动的。

So! Should the idea of a naked party excite you–it is, after all, a Yale tradition of its own–feel free to meet the Pundits, in all their transgressive glory, at 9:30 at the gates of the Hall of Graduate Studies. If not, there are many fun things to do on a Saturday that don’t involve being tricked by a bunch of Seniors.如此！应该的想法赤裸裸党激发你-它毕竟是一个耶鲁大学的传统，自己感觉的自由，以满足学者，在其所有海侵的荣耀，在9 :30在家门口，大厅的研究生研究的，如果不是，有很多有趣的事情做一个周六不涉及被欺骗的一群老人。

I wish you all the happiest of weekends. Enjoy the beginning of your Yale experience. Take it from someone who’s nearing the end of his:我想大家最快乐的周末。享受到开始你的耶鲁经验。是否可以从人的接近尾声，他：

it’s pretty awesome, and there’s nothing else like it.这实在是太可怕的，并没有什么一样。

Yours,你的，

Anonymous无名氏

In a way I think it’s sad that he ruined the surprise of the event, if it is what our anonymous tipster says, but quite a lot of people will be thanking him.在某方面来说，我认为这是很可悲的，他毁了出人意料的事件，如果是我们的无名氏的匿名消息说，但不少人会感谢他。 The pundit parties are apparently not the really cool naked parties, so I am told.该学者各方显然不是真的酷赤裸当事人，所以我告诉。 I’m not saying that he was wrong to spoil it, either.我不是说他是错的，以破坏它也不行。 Anyway, Yale is fun.总之，耶鲁大学是好玩。 Me, I wouldn’t have gone to some mysterious event even if I’d received an invitation–I’ve got a date for Old Campus hide and seek tonight at the same time : )我，我也不会去了一些神秘的事件，甚至，如果我早接到邀请- i've了日期为老校区躲藏，并寻求今晚在同一时间： ）
