A:Fine! You look great too.

C: Yes, but I’m still getting used to my new Life here.
嗯,不過我正在慢慢適應在這的新生活。
B:You knew each other?
你們認識?
C: Yes, wfe were neighborhood, but I didn’t see him often after he came to America,
是的,我們是鄰居,但自從他去美國后我就沒有看到他了。
B: That’s great! I believe you two have a lot to talk about. I might as well go first. See you.
B:太棒啦!我想你們一定有很多事要聊,我還是先走吧,再見!
C:See you tomorrow.
明天見!
A: See you around.
再見!
C: How is life at Harvard?
在哈佛過得怎么樣?
A: Not bad. But at first it’s hard for me to adjust to it.
還行,只是剛開始時對我來說有點難適應。
C: That’s must hard for you.
那對你來說一定很難。
A: Fortunately, I got a lot of help from the Chinese students' association at Harvard.
幸好,在哈佛的中國學生社團給予了我很多幫助。
C: Sounds like a fellow townsmen,club back in China.
聽起來就像是在中國的同鄉(xiāng)俱樂部。
A: In America, all Chinese are fellow “townsmen”.
在美國,所有的中國人都是老鄉(xiāng)。
C: Can I join it if I go to Harvard in the future?
如果我將來進哈佛了也能加入嗎?
A:You’ll be welcome because you can give us a big hand once you join us.
你會受到歡迎的,因為一旦你加入會給我們帶來很大幫肋。
C: What’s the association’s name exactly? I’d like to look it up from the internet.
社團確切的名字是什么?我想在網(wǎng)上査找一下。
A: Harvard-Radcliffe Chinese Students Association.
哈佛大學中華學會。
C: How does it help Chinese students?
它是如何幫助中國學生的呢?
A: The biggest help offered by it is to make us feel at home, I would say. It hosts nearly 80 events each year, celebrating our traditional festivals, and keeping us aware of Chinese culture.
A:它最大的幫助是讓我們感覺在家里一樣??傊?,它每年約舉辦80次活動,慶祝我們的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日,讓我們保持對中國文化的認識。
C:It ought to be that way. It'll be very embarrassing if foreigners ask something about Chinese culture that we should not know at all.
它就應該那樣做!如果外國人問我們一些關于中國的文化知識我們卻什么都不知道,那樣會很尷尬的。
A: That’s why we founded such an association at Harvard College. Actually there’s another Chinese association at Harvard, but it’s for graduate Chinese students.
那就是為什么我們在哈佛大學成立這樣一個社團了。事實上,哈佛還有另外一個中國社團,不過它是專為研究生和已經(jīng)畢業(yè)的中國學生設立的。
C: What’s that?
是什么?
A: It’s called Harvard Chinese Students and Scholars Association. Personally speaking, this one is more important.
它叫做"中國學生和學者聯(lián)合會”。就個人而言,它更重要。
C: I don’t understand.
我不明白。
A: You know, a lot of Chinese graduate students spend their undergrad years in China, so their thinking model is almost fixed.
你知道,很多中國學生沒畢業(yè)之前大都在中國,他們的思考模式已經(jīng)固定了。
C: It must be even harder for them to adjust to American culture and society,
對他們來說,適應美國的文化和社會必定更難。
A: Few of them can completely overcome the language and cultural barrier, though they generally have no difficulty in scientific communication.
他們很少能完全克服語言和文化的障礙,雖然他們一般在技術性的溝通上沒有困難。
C: So they are in need of help. HCSSA can safeguard their rights and interests while promoting Chinese culture. Am I right?
所以他們需要幫肋,HCSSA在宣揚中國文化時能夠保障他們的權利和利益。我說的對嗎?
A: Completely! You have the awareness we need. You must come to join our association when you're admitted by Harvard.
非常正確!你有我們所需要的意識。如果你被哈佛錄取了一定要來參加我們的社團啊。
C: I’m flattered, but I’m glad I’ll be helpful.
過獎了,但很高興會有所幫肋。
