[交流] How to say “师兄/师姐”in English?[/

How to say “师兄/师姐”in English?

师兄/师姐”,or“师弟/师妹”,is from Chinese martial arts culture.Fellows learning from the same master(师父)are“senior/junior male/female fellow apprentices”.
    As the saying goes ,“The master teaches the trade,but the apprentice's skill is self-made”(师父领进门,修行在个人).
    To traslate“师兄/师姐”into English,we have to describe instead of using single words.
如:  * We're both majoring in business at Ohio University.(我们是在俄亥俄大学学商务的同门。)
      * She shares the same major as me but is senior/junior to me.(她是跟我同专业的师姐/师妹。)
      * He's in my same major but a year ahead.(他是跟我同专业的上届师兄。)
      * He's in my major but a year below/behind me.(他是跟我同专业的下届师弟。)
    “Alumnus”(校友)may be the closest word in English to refer to students who're studying in or have graduated from the same major at the same university.But a sentence like “John and I are both alumni of Ohio University”indicates both John and the speaker have graduated.
