Scholarships for doing nothing

Are you a good student? A really good student? 你是一個好學生嗎？

Hmmm... I should probably ask your teachers, 這問題我應該問你們的老師吧， not
you!

Some very good students, when they go to university, will be given some money
to help them with their studying.

This is called a scholarship. 有些好學生，在大學會拿到獎學金。

To get a scholarship you'll probably have to study very hard.
要得到獎學金，平常就要很用功。

But, and listen up all you not so good students, there is a university in
Germany giving out scholarships for doing…. absolutely nothing!
德國有一間大學，發獎學金給什麼都不做的學生。

That's right.

This university wants to give students money for doing nothing.

Could you do… nothing? 真的可以什麼都不做嗎?

It's not as easy as it sounds. 其實沒有那麼簡單喔。

And if you want the money, you'll have to answer four questions:
需要回答四個問題才可以領到：

What don't you want to do? 你不想做甚麼?

How long won't you do it for? 你要多久不做這件事?

Why is it important not to do this thing? 為甚麼不做這個事情很重要?

And, why are you the right person not to do it? 為甚麼要選你不做這件事?

It's not so easy anymore, is it? 沒有你想像的那麼簡單吧.

That's okay. I think I'll just keep doing nothing for free!
