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.你們有些人可能很熟悉的概念，赤裸裸的各方流行的大學校園全國，但也許特別是耶魯大學;在任何情況下，我以為我會附上相關的電子郵件，然後發送到新生班級裡的東西其無名氏作者的意圖是第一學者贊助prankish赤裸裸的黨的一年。 I was out all afternoon participating in a fun Trumbull-freshmen-only scavenger hunt across campus, and came back to find this:我是所有下午參加了一項有趣的trumbull -新生只清道夫亨特整個校園，回來找到這：

Dear Freshmen,親愛的新生，

Some of you were visited several nights ago by upperclassmen who delivered to your suites invitations to “The Masquerade.” The invitations read:你們當中有些人參觀了晚前由upperclassmen誰發送到您的套房邀請“偽裝”的邀請函內容如下：

“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.” “你和一個客戶誠摯地邀請，由一位傑出的小組，同儕出席偽裝上週六，第十五九月，請在抵達正式禮服在蓋茨的大廳，研究生，在9 30後merediem 。告訴任何人不要遲到。非Ducor航空公司， duco “ 。

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).一個形象的邀請，供您參考，現附上。你們當中有些人可能會下的印象是，您已被挖掘的東西，或邀請的聚會所設的一個秘密的社會，如耶魯大學的社會探索校園秘密（ ysecs ） 。

Sadly, this is not the case. Your ‘hosts’ are the Pundits, the infamous Senior pranking society.可悲的是，這種情況並非如此。您的'主機'是學者，臭名昭著的高級pranking社會。

Should you choose to go to the gates of the HGS this evening, here is what will happen:如果您選擇去蓋茨的硫化汞今天晚上，這裡會發生什麼事：

1) You will be led to an off-campus location by the Pundits. 1 ）你將率領一個校外的位置由學者。

2) There will be a party there. 2 ）會有一個黨有。

3) Before very long, and at a certain cue, the Pundits will take off all of their clothes. 3 ）前很長，在某一個線索，專家們將起飛，他們所有的衣服。

4) You will feel rather awkward, unless you’re into that sort of thing. 4 ）你會感到相當尷尬，除非您到諸如此類的事情。

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.黨是第一的學者'著名的裸體各方在本賽季，你被邀請-如果您是-在希望的讓你不舒服，他們的娛樂。在我看來，雖然專家們往往很聰明，和娛樂，欺騙新生為自己的娛樂，不應被任何人的想法，一個好時機，並打算受害者的惡作劇，至少應該有機會選擇到，或者沒有，在充分了解的性質該活動的。

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！應的想法赤裸裸的黨的Excite你-這是畢竟，耶魯大學的傳統，自己的感覺自由，以滿足學者，在其所有海侵的榮耀，在9點半在門口的大廳，研究生研究如果不是，有很多有趣的事情做對1週六不涉及被欺騙的一群老人。

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:我祝大家快樂的週末。享有開始您的耶魯大學的經驗。採取從有人誰的接近尾聲，他：

it’s pretty awesome, and there’s nothing else like it.它的相當可怕，並沒有什麼一樣。

Yours,你們的，

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.在一種方法，我認為它的悲哀，他毀了驚訝的事件，如果這是我們的無名氏的匿名消息說，但不少人會感謝他。 The pundit parties are apparently not the really cool naked parties, so I am told.該學者各方顯然是不是真的很酷赤裸裸的當事方，所以我告訴。 I’m not saying that he was wrong to spoil it, either.我不是說他是錯的破壞它，無論是。 Anyway, Yale is fun.無論如何，耶魯大學是好玩。 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，我不會去了一些神秘的事件，即使我要收到邀請函- i've了日期為老校區隱藏，並尋求今晚在同一時間： ）
