英语大赢家 下册 198.Scene 10.Topic 2课程与学习 Courses and Studies

 May: I've been so stressed these days.

 

Gucci: What's the matter? Are you OK?

 

May: I don't know where to go for college, and what to major in.

 

Gucci: Don't worry. You have plenty of time to decide.

 

May: And I also want to get scholarships to help me pay for the tuition¹. I want to get the burden off my family.

 

Gucci: You always worry too much about everything. Take it easy, honey. You are good enough. You can go to the ideal² college.

 

May: OK, OK. I'm so sorry. By the way, for you, is it more important to make money or to enjoy your work?

 

Gucci: In a perfect world, I would enjoy my work if I do not have to do much, and make lots of money!

 

May: OK, honey, stop dreaming. You should face the reality.

 

Gucci: That's only a joke. To be honest, I have to improve my English, because my English is not good enough. I still get confused about some simple grammars. Since you are quite good at it, do you have any suggestions?

 

May: En, first you should be concentrated on what the teacher said in class. Second, I suggest you to take an additional³ course in some training center.

 

Gucci: Is the training center helpful?

 

May: I think so. Because I've taken one to improve my oral English during summer vacation.

 

Gucci: So what's the name of that training center?

 

May: It is called Joy Chain. The teachers there are excellent, and you're gonna like it.

 

Gucci: OK, I'll have a try. Thank you so much.

 

听看学

 

阿美：我这几天压力很大。

 

古奇：怎么啦？你还好吧？

 

阿美：我不知道去哪里上大学，也不知道学什么专业。

 

古奇：不要担心。你还有很多时间考虑呢。

 

阿美：而且我还想获得奖学金来帮我支付学费。我希望能够减轻家里的负担。

 

古奇：你总是担心每一件事情。放松点，亲爱的。你非常优秀，你能考上你理想的大学的。

 

阿美：好的，好的，非常不好意思。那我问一下，对你来说，是挣钱更重要还是做自己喜欢的工作更重要？

 

古奇：在理想的状态下，如果我不用做什么就能挣很多钱，那我就会喜欢我的工作。

 

阿美：好的，亲爱的，别做梦了。你应该面对现实。

 

古奇：那只是个玩笑而已。说实话，我得补补我的英语了，因为我的英语还不够好。我仍然会对一些简单的语法感到困惑。你的英语那么好，你能给我一些建议吗？

 

阿美：嗯，首先，你上课的时候要专心听讲。其次，我建议你去培训中心上额外的课程。

 

古奇：培训中心有用吗？

 

阿美：我是这么认为的，因为我暑假的时候报了一个班提高英语口语。

 

古奇：那个培训中心叫什么啊？

 

阿美：叫快乐连锁。那儿的老师非常棒，你会喜欢的。

 

古奇：好的，我会试试的。非常感谢你。
