From a young age, Satomi Hayashi studied hard and excelled academically.

It seemed only natural that she would follow in her father’s footsteps

and attend the University of Tokyo, Japan’s most prestigious institution.

As soon as she was admitted, her friends warned that she was spoiling her marriage prospect.

Men, they said, would be intimidated a diploma from Todai, as the university is known in Japan.

어릴 때부터 Satomi Hayashi는 공부를 열심히 했고, 성적이 우수했다.

그녀가 아버지를 본받아서 일본 최고의 명문대인 도쿄대학에 진학한 것은 당연한 일이었다.

그녀가 도쿄대에 합격했을 때, 친구들은 그녀가 결혼 가능성을 망치고 있다고 충고했다.

친구들은 남자들은 Todai (일본에서 도쿄대를 부르는 명칭) 학위에 겁을 먹는다 

(도쿄대에서 학위를 받은 여자에게 겁을 먹는다/위협을 느낀다)고 말했다.
