【校園英語口語對話】
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。你為什么問這個問題呀?
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后會更加努力地學習。
May：
Studying in the university is not easy, but it's not as arduous as you think.
大學的學習不那么容易，但也不是像你想象的那么枯燥。
Daniel：
How do you know that? You haven't got in yet.
你怎么知道?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(jīng)安安靜靜地坐在教室后面，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。只要教室里還有空位，你又不擾亂課堂，你就可以旁聽任何課。在大學里，你可以在輕松而富有創(chuàng)造性的環(huán)境中學習。
Daniel：
What do you want to study in the university? Have you thought about it?
你在大學想學什么呢?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(jīng)濟學現(xiàn)在很熱門，而且它的職業(yè)發(fā)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么痛苦，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(jīng)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。在你提交志愿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，在做后決定前，我還有很多時間仔細想想。

[黃小蓉]正確的說法應該是：好好學習，天天向上。
The correct way of saying it should be: Study hard and make progress every day.
周奔馳：別介意，這只是一個玩笑。
Never mine. I’m only joking.
