當不成總統改做教授? 希拉里或赴哥倫比亞大學任教大綱

Hillary Clinton is testing the waters on a return to academia.
希拉里·克林頓正嘗試迴歸學術界。

The former US secretary of state is in talks with Columbia University to take on a formal role at the Ivy League - and potentially house her archives there, according to multiple sources.
多位知情人士稱，這位美國前國務卿正與常春藤聯盟院校哥倫比亞大學洽談在該校正式任職一事，還可能將她的檔案保存在哥大。

One option under discussion is an esteemed "university professor" role that would allow Clinton to lecture across a range of schools and departments without the requirement of a strict course load, one source said.
一位消息人士稱，討論中的一個方案是授予希拉里頗有分量的“大學教授”頭銜，這將使她可在多個院系授課且沒有嚴格的授課量要求。

A former law professor, Clinton could maintain the vaunted but vague role indefinitely or decide at a later date she wants to settle at Columbia's celebrated law school or maybe the School of International and Public Affairs, the source said.
該消息人士稱，曾任法學教授的希拉里可以無限期地保有這一倍受追捧但定位模糊的職位，或在日後決定自己想"駐紮"在哥大著名的法學院抑或是國際與公共事務學院任教。

"No decisions have been made, but there are talks," a different source with knowledge of Clinton's thinking said.
另一位瞭解希拉里想法的消息人士稱：“雙方正在討論相關事宜，但尚未做出決定。”

"She's trying to figure out what she wants to do. It could end up with the papers at one place and she has some sort of faculty role at another. She hasn't quite come to a decision," the source said.
這名消息人士表示：“希拉里正試圖弄清自己想做的事。最終可能她的檔案放在一個地方、她在另一個地方扮演類似教師的角色。希拉里還沒有拿定主意。”
