高中生活對(duì)你來(lái)說是一段積極的經(jīng)歷還是消極的經(jīng)歷

今天的這段對(duì)話，在討論高中生活，
 
高中生活對(duì)你來(lái)說是一段積極的經(jīng)歷還是消極的經(jīng)歷
 
來(lái)聽今天的講解:
 
A: Hey, Todd, when you look back on your high school experience, do you, in general, do you see it as a positive or a negative experience?
 
嗨，托德，你回顧高中生活時(shí)，你認(rèn)為那是一段積極的經(jīng)歷還是消極的經(jīng)歷？
 
B: Oh, definitely positive. It was one of the best times of my life.
 
哦，絕對(duì)是積極的經(jīng)歷。那是我一生中最好的時(shí)光之一。
 
A: Yeah.
 
是啊。
 
B: Oh, it was awesome. I mean, it was being with your friends, and you know, driving for the first time and having your first part-time job and playing sports and going to dances. It was great.
 
那時(shí)真是太棒了。和朋友們?cè)谝黄?，第一次開車，第一次做兼職，做體育運(yùn)動(dòng)，去跳舞等等。太棒了。
 
A: Now did, a lot of high schools in the states, I went to high school in the states and a lot of high schools have, there are these clicks, you know, there's like a popular group of kids, and then there are other kids who don't really feel like they belong (right) Yeah, I know you Todd. You strike me as you were probably one of the popular kids, so of course you're gonna think high school was great.
 
美國(guó)的許多高中……我是在美國(guó)念的高中，許多高中都有受歡迎的學(xué)生，你知道，就是一群受歡迎的孩子，而其他孩子則不屬于這一類。托德，我想你就是屬于那種受歡迎的孩子，所以你當(dāng)然會(huì)覺得高中生活很棒了。
 
B: Well, no, actually, I wasn't one of the popular kids, but I was in the popular group, so I played sports so I was one of the jocks.
 
不是，實(shí)際上我并不是受歡迎的孩子，不過我在一個(gè)受歡迎的團(tuán)體里，我喜歡體育，所以我是運(yùn)動(dòng)迷。
 
A: Yeah, one of the jocks, always, they get into the popular clicks easier. So do you, can you imagine like how somebody might feel that wasn't in one of those groups, that they might have hated high school?
 
運(yùn)動(dòng)迷，很容易成為受歡迎的人。你有沒有想過，不屬于受歡迎團(tuán)體的人可能會(huì)討厭高中生活？
 
B: Well, I don't know who hated high school but I remember there were the motor heads. Those were the guys that were always working on their car. They had really nice cars they fixed up. They probably didn't like high school too much, then there were the drama freaks, and the drama freaks were, they dressed really different and they were kind of into punk at that time. They were very artistic and very creative, very smart, and because they were so different, I think a lot of kids made fun of them, so maybe they didn't like high school.
 
我不知道有誰(shuí)討厭高中生活，不過我記得有那種汽車迷。那些人總是開著車出現(xiàn)。他們把車改裝的非常好。他們可能不太喜歡高中，還有那種戲劇迷，他們會(huì)穿著奇怪的衣服，癡迷于朋克。他們有很強(qiáng)的藝術(shù)天賦，同時(shí)又非常有創(chuàng)造力、又聰明，因?yàn)樗麄兣c眾不同，所以我想有許多孩子會(huì)取笑他們，也許他們也不喜歡高中生活。
 
A: Now were you one of the kids that made fun of them?
 
那些取笑他們的人也包括你嗎？
 
B: Definitely not. I mean, I was never that way. Actually, I was the kid that somehow was friends with everybody because even though I was with the jocks, I wasn't a good jock. I was a terrible athlete, so I was maybe just surviving by being friends with them anyway, but yeah.
 
當(dāng)然不是了。我從來(lái)沒有那么做過。實(shí)際上，我當(dāng)時(shí)是那種和所有人都能成為朋友的孩子，雖然我是運(yùn)動(dòng)迷，不過我的體育能力并不強(qiáng)。我是個(gè)糟糕的運(yùn)動(dòng)員，所以我的生存方式就是和他們成為朋友。
 
A: Now, you're a good baseball player though, right?
 
不過你是名出色的棒球運(yùn)動(dòng)員，對(duì)吧？
 
B: Actually I was but I didn't play baseball because I, in high school because I, foolishly I wanted to make money. I wanted to get a part-time job and get a car, so I stopped. I played football and basketball, though.
 
以前是，不過我高中的時(shí)候沒有打棒球，原因是我愚蠢地認(rèn)為我應(yīng)該掙錢。我想找份兼職，買輛車，所以我就沒有打棒球了。不過我踢足球也打籃球。
 
A: OK, now most high schools, just about every high school, after ten years, you have a high school reunion. Did you go to your 10-year high school reunion?
 
好，現(xiàn)在大部分高中，幾乎所有高中都會(huì)在十年后舉行高中同學(xué)聚會(huì)。你參加過高中同學(xué)10周年聚會(huì)嗎？
 
B: You know, I did not go to my high school reunion. My friends went and, you know, they said it was a pretty good time and everyone had changed, but I didn't go. Have you been to yours?
 
我沒有參加高中同學(xué)聚會(huì)。我朋友們?nèi)チ耍麄冋f他們度過了美好的時(shí)光，所有的人都有所改變，可是我并沒有去。你去了嗎？
 
A: I did. I went to mine last year.
 
我去了。去年我參加了高中同學(xué)聚會(huì)。
 
B: Oh, really. Did everybody still look the same?
 
哦，真的嗎？你的同學(xué)們還是原來(lái)那個(gè)樣子嗎？
 
A: For the most part. What I found interesting is the popular clicks, that I talked about before, they still existed. It was ten years later and it was like all the popular, you know, they're not kids anymore, but all the popular people were hanging out together and all the nerds were kind of standing around on the side and looking lonely and depressed.
 
大部分是。我發(fā)現(xiàn)了一件有趣的事，我剛才提到的那些受歡迎的學(xué)生現(xiàn)在依然受歡迎。10年之后，那些人已經(jīng)不再是孩子了，不過這些受歡迎的人會(huì)一起活動(dòng)，而所有的書呆子就會(huì)站在一邊，看起來(lái)孤獨(dú)又沮喪。
 
B: Wow.
 
哇。
 
A: Yeah it as kind of sad.
 
對(duì)啊，有點(diǎn)悲傷。
