你說(shuō)的對(duì)，我如今還是想完成學(xué)業(yè)，你不知道我有多喜歡現(xiàn)在的學(xué)校生活。但我怕我無(wú)法這樣繼續(xù)下去。如果你處于我的位置，你會(huì)怎樣呢？
A: I would definitely stick with it. You've got to think this through carefully. You've worked on your degree for so long and you are only one year away from graduating. Come on. Don't give up.
我當(dāng)然會(huì)堅(jiān)持下去。你得認(rèn)真想想這事。你已經(jīng)為此奮斗了這么長(zhǎng)時(shí)間，而且你還有一年就畢業(yè)了。真的，你不能放棄。
B: I don't know. I have to think this over.
