   Dialogue 1

  Mark: I can't believe I'll be going to college next month. It seems like just yesterday I was starting my freshmen1 year of high school.
  马克:我简直不敢相信我下个月就要上大学啦。感觉高一新入学还是昨天的事情一样。
  Jingjing: That's great, but what are you so pumped up about? College is a lot of work you know?
  京晶:太棒了,但是你兴奋什么呢?大学生活是很忙碌的,你知道吗?
  Mark: Yeah, but now I'm finally free! I'm going to move into my own dorm room! Now no one can tell me what to do!
  马克:我知道,但是我终于自由了!我马上就要搬进宿舍了,再也没有人管我了。
  Jingjing: Your parents can still tell you what to do.
  京晶:你父母还是可以管你呀。
  Mark: What do you mean? I'm moving out of their house.
  马克:你什么意思?我都要搬出他们的房子了。
  Jingjing: Just because you move out of their house, doesn't mean you're independent. If they're paying for your living expenses then technically2 you still depend on them so you should still be respectful3 and listen to what they have to say.
  京晶:仅仅搬出他们的房子,并不意味着你就独立了。如果你的生活费还是他们帮忙支付的,那么实际上你还得依靠他们。所以你还是得尊重他们并且听他们的话。
  Mark: Yeah, I guess you're right. Why did you have to take the wind out of my sail? I was really getting excited.
  马克:哦,是啊,我想你是对的,但你为什么一定要打破我的幻想呢?我本来真的很兴奋。
  Jingjing: If you want to depend on them less, then maybe you should get a part-time job once school starts.
  京晶:如果你想要少依赖他们一点,也许你可以在新学期开始后找一份兼职工作。
  Mark: I'll consider it.
  马克:我会考虑的。
  Jingjing: Hey, since you're moving out of your parents' house so soon,do you wanna sell me your television that's in your room?
  京晶:对了,既然你要搬出你父母家了,你想把你房间里的电视卖给我吗?
  Mark: Be my guest. That thing is so old, I was gonna toss4 it out anyways. You can just have it.
  马克:我很乐意啊,那东西太老了,我本来也要把它扔了的,你可以直接拿走。
  Jingjing: Really? Thanks!
  京晶:真的吗?谢谢!
  Mark: I'm glad you like it. Besides, one man's trash is another man's treasure.
  马克:我很高兴你喜欢它。况且,人各有所好,一个人的垃圾可能是另一个人的财富。

  马克:没有,学业还是最重要的。我每天傍晚先去上学,然后才去工作。要变得独立真的很难,我没想到会有这么多工作要做。
  Jingjing: Be careful what you wish for. I never said being an independent person is easy. Now you know how much pain your parents went through when they were raising you. This is your first time living away from your parents and depending on yourself. You have to learn to walk before you can run. Take it easy!
