About School

1--How many hours a week do you work, Sue?

2--We have to start at nine o'clock in the morning. but I'm always at school by a quarter past eight, in fact. Erm, we finish at four o'clock 4 days a week, and I usually do go home at four o'clock, and I'm usually home by half past four. Wednesday afternoon is free, so we finish at twelve o'clock on Wednesday.

1--How long have you been intereted in computers, Sue?

2--Interested. I suppose I got interested when I did my master's degree.

1--What sort of things do you do with your computer?

2--Well, I use my computer, personally, as a word processor, quite a lot, but I also use it for playing around creating programs.

===================================

注解:

1)How long have you been interested in computers?

此句直译:你对计算机感兴趣有多长时间了?

2)I got interested in...:got是系动词,与be interested相比,前者强调"action",后者强调"state"。

3)master's degree:硕士学位。大学授予的学位分三级,最低级称作“学士”(Bachelor's degree),中级称“硕士”,最高级称“博士”(Doctor's degree)。

4)sort:种类,类别。与kind同义。

5)word processor:文字处理机。

6)play around creating programs:他在计算机上编制程序等等只是为了娱乐消遣,并非正经的工作,所以才这样说。play around作"spend time having fun","to amuse oneself with..."解。

===================================

译文:

1--你一个星期工作多少小时,休?

2--我们早上必须9点开始工作。但实际上我总是8点15分就到学校了。每个星期有四个下午是4点结束工作。所以我经常是4点钟就往家走。4点半钟到家。星期三下午没事,所以我们星期三中午12点就完事了。

1--休,你从什么时间起对计算机感兴趣的?

2--我想是从硕士学位时我就对计算机感兴趣。

1--你都用计算机干些什么事?

2--嗬,我自己是用计算机进行文字处理,用得很多,但有时也用计算机编程序取乐。
