Vampires and zombies are two popular creatures in Western folklore . In 2009 , Lucinda Rumsey , of Mansflield College at Oxford University , also asked English literature applicants about the Twilight books , a series on vampires written by US author Stephenie Meyer . “A good English student engages in literary analysis of every book they read , ”Rumsey told The Telegraph .

吸血鬼和僵尸是西方最受欢迎的民间传奇生物。在2009年，牛津大学曼斯菲尔德学院的露辛达.拉姆西还向英国文学申请者咨询了《暮光之城》系列的书。“一个好的英国学生会对他们阅读的每一本文学书籍都会进行分析。”

And it seems there’s no magic answer , other than the one that’s inside your head . “ No matter what kind of educational background or opportunities you have had , the interview should be an opportunity to present your interest and ability in your chosen subject , since they are not just about reciting what you already know , ” Samina Khan , director of admissions at Oxford University , wrote on the university’s official website .

并且这似乎没有什么不可思议的答案，除了你脑海里的那个。“不管你有什么有教育意义的背景和机会，面试应该是一个机会在选择主题上去展示你的兴趣和能力，因为他们不仅仅是背诵你所知道的。”萨米娜汉，牛津大学招生部主任，在大学官方网站上写道。

Indeed , what Oxford University really wants to encourage its applicants to think outside the box and explore the unknown fields they previously failed to venture into , The Independent noted .

确实，牛津大学真的想要鼓励申请者跳出思维局限并且探索他们以前未能冒险进入的领域，独立报指出。
