米基:大家好,我是米基。
Geaw: My name is Geaw from Thailand.
高:我是高,來(lái)自泰國(guó)。
Miki: Oh, right.
米基:好。
Geaw: And you're from?
高:你來(lái)自哪里?
Miki: Nigeria.
米基:尼日利亞。
Geaw: Yep. Well the question is about should college education be free? What do you think?
高:好。我們要討論的話題是,大學(xué)應(yīng)該實(shí)行義務(wù)教育嗎?你怎么看?
Miki: I think college education should be free, as free as possible for everybody.
米基:我認(rèn)為大學(xué)應(yīng)該實(shí)行義務(wù)教育,盡可能對(duì)所有學(xué)生免費(fèi)。
Geaw: Why?
高:為什么?
Miki: Because if it's free you have more people going to college and getting this education so as such if you empower the youth you empower the nation.
米基:因?yàn)槿绻髮W(xué)教育免費(fèi),那就會(huì)有更多的人進(jìn)入大學(xué),獲得大學(xué)教育,可以說(shuō),少年強(qiáng)則國(guó)家強(qiáng)。
Geaw: I see. Well I personally think that it should be free but with condition.
高:我明白了。我個(gè)人認(rèn)為大學(xué)教育應(yīng)該免費(fèi),但是要有前提條件。
Miki: What kind of condition?
米基:什么條件?
Geaw: If it is free and you can either get in or get out whenever you want then I think maybe some people would just love the motivation into, because when you go to college and you have to pay for it and you are willing to pay to go to college, it gives you your part into society, right?
高:如果大學(xué)教育免費(fèi),而且可以隨時(shí)入學(xué)或退學(xué),我覺(jué)得不太好,可能有些人喜歡激勵(lì)機(jī)制,因?yàn)槟闵洗髮W(xué)要付學(xué)費(fèi),而且你愿意為大學(xué)教育付學(xué)費(fèi),那使你接觸到社會(huì)生活,對(duì)吧?
Miki: Yes.
米基:對(duì)。
Geaw: But if you can get in for free then people that don't really want to study can also get in so I think it's a bit unfair for us who really want so I mean but in some condition that we will make the student want to study.
高:但是如果你可以免費(fèi)上大學(xué),而那些不想學(xué)習(xí)的人也可以進(jìn)入大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí),那我認(rèn)為這對(duì)我們這些非常想上大學(xué)的人有些不公平,我的看法是,我們要設(shè)定前提條件,讓學(xué)生想學(xué)習(xí)。
Miki: Yeah, want to study and pursue. I think we'll have to make it a deferred view for both parties right?
米基:對(duì),想學(xué)習(xí)而且也努力去學(xué)習(xí)。我認(rèn)為我們要想出使雙方都接受的看法,對(duì)吧?
Geaw: Yes.
高:對(duì)。
