校園生活英語對話
對話教學是整個小學階段英語學習中必不可少的組成部分,對話貫穿於教材和教師教學及學生學習的始終。小編整理了,歡迎閱讀!
一
Daniel:
May, is the university a terrible place?
阿美,大學是個恐怖的地方嗎?
May:
Surely not. Life in the university is fun. Why did you ask?
當然不是,大學生活很有趣。你為什麼問這個問題呀?
Daniel:
Because you study day in and day out for the entrance exam. So I figure you would study even harder after you’ve got in.
因為你為了高考不分晝夜地學習,所以我想你進入大學以後會更加努力地學習。
May:
Studying in the university is not easy, but it's not as arduous as you think.
大學的學習不那麼容易,但也不是像你想象的那麼枯燥。
Daniel:
How do you know that? You haven't got in yet.
你怎麼知道?你還沒上大學呢。
May:
Of course I know. I once attended Lisa's class, sitting quietly at the back of the classroom.
我當然知道了,我曾經安安靜靜地坐在教室後面,跟利莎一起上過課。
Daniel:
Oh, really? Were you not caught?
哦,真的嗎?你沒被抓?
May:
Of course not. You are allowed to attend any lecture, only if there are empty seats for you and you don't disturb the class. In universities, you study in a free and creative environment.
當然沒有。只要教室裡還有空位,你又不擾亂課堂,你就可以旁聽任何課。在大學裡,你可以在輕鬆而富有創造性的環境中學習。
Daniel:
What do you want to study in the university? Have you thought about it?
你在大學想學什麼呢?你有沒有想過?
May:
This question has really been bothering me. I like Chinese literature, you know. But economics is really hot now, and it has a very good career prospect.
這個問題一直困擾著我。你知道,我喜歡中國文學,但是經濟學現在很熱門,而且它的職業發展前景也挺好的。
Daniel:
I will choose what I like. You don't know what a torture it is for me to study English, because I don't like English.
我會選擇我喜歡的。你不知道對我來說學習英語有多麼痛苦,因為我不喜歡英語。
May:
Though I like Chinese literature very much, I'm also interested in economics. It's a tough choice to make.
雖然我非常喜歡中國文學,但我對經濟學也很感興趣。真是很難決定呀。
Daniel:
You can decide later. You will have choices before you submit your university application form.
你可以晚點再決定。在你提交志願表以前你還可以選擇。
May:
Right. I have lots of time to think carefully before I make my final decision.
是呀,在做最後決定前,我還有很多時間仔細想想。
二

Your father has been picking you up everyday since the beginning of this semester, right?
你爸爸是不是從這學期一開始就每天晚上來接你?

I believe you can get in! You are so excellent! And your whole families are working together to support you.
我相信你能考上。你這麼優秀。還有你們全家都在跟你一起並肩作戰。
May:
Gucci, you don't understand. It's just their hope and support that gives me the pressure. Sometimes I do feel tired and hope they could leave me alone. What if I fail?
古奇,你不明白。正是他們的希望和支援給了我壓力。有時候,我感到非常疲倦,只想自己一個人好好靜靜。如果我考砸了怎麼辦啊?
Gary:
Don't be silly. You put too much pressure on yourself. Look, you have big dark pouches.
別說傻話了。你給自己太多的壓力了。看你的黑眼圈。

What were you doing up so late at night? Sleep-walking?
那麼晚才睡,你都幹嘛了?夢遊?

No, I was studying. I always go to bed after one o'clock recently.
