第37章 是要辛苦些,還是不要那么辛苦?
David: What's your major?
你學(xué)的什么專業(yè)?
You: English.
英語(yǔ)。
David: What year are you in?
幾年級(jí)了?
You: I am in Grade Four this year.
今年四年級(jí)。
David: In the United States, each university year has a different name: freshman, sophomore,junior, and senior.
在美國(guó),每個(gè)年級(jí)都有不同的名稱: freshman、sophomore、junior和senior。
You: I don't like to suffer more than I need to. Many students suffer from the heavy workload.
我不喜歡上二年級(jí)。學(xué)生在那一年里特別辛苦。
David: Suffer? I mean sophomore, not suffer more. I am saying the second year: sophomore.Oh, maybe you suffer every year?
辛苦?我是說(shuō)sophomore(二年級(jí)學(xué)生),不是suffer more(更辛苦)。二年級(jí)學(xué)生稱為“sophomore”。你是不是每年都很辛苦呢?
You: That is what I mean. But I like this year better than others. We don't have anyschoolwork, and we can study on our own.
是的,不過(guò)今年好多了。最后一年沒(méi)什么學(xué)習(xí)任務(wù)。我們可以做我們想做的事情。
David: I think many students , English majors in particular, look for language exchangepartners. How about you?
我覺(jué)得似乎很多學(xué)生(尤其是英語(yǔ)專業(yè)的學(xué)生)會(huì)找外國(guó)留學(xué)生相互學(xué)習(xí)。你呢?
You: I am not interested in that.
我不大喜歡。
David: Oh.
哦。
