A: OK. What was the public school like?

那所公立學(xué)校怎么樣？

B: It was not big, and so it was not big. I don't know how to say that, so what should I say....

不大，那所學(xué)校不是很大，我不知道怎么說(shuō)，我該怎么說(shuō)呢……

A: It was just a small school?

那是一間小學(xué)校？

我認(rèn)為美國(guó)是一個(gè)偉大的國(guó)家，在美國(guó)，人們想要嘗試一些新的東西。

A: OK.

好的。

B: You know, so for example I did not have any special skills to teach, but they let me to work there as a volunteer, and they gave me a great oppurtunity to meet a lot of students, who are really nice I think.

例如，我沒(méi)有教書(shū)的特殊技能，但校方允許我作為志愿者在那里工作，他們給了我一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)去接觸那里的學(xué)生們，學(xué)生們都很友好。

A: Ah, OK. I agree. What were your students like?

哦，好的，我同意。你的學(xué)生怎么樣？

B: They were really motivated to learn Japanese, but they didn't learn a lot. They just, they just wanted to play with me, from other countries. Who is from, sorry!

他們對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)日語(yǔ)很積極，但他們并沒(méi)有學(xué)多少。他們只是想和我玩，和來(lái)自其他國(guó)家的人玩。

A: OK. Do you have any special memories from your trip?

你對(duì)這次美國(guó)之旅有沒(méi)有留下什么特殊的記憶？

B: Yes, I visited lots of places by myself and I was really afraid of speaking English to people there but they tried to understand me, and they helped me a lot and I really think OK, they are lots of people who are nice all over the world.

是的。我自己去了很多地方。我真的很害怕和當(dāng)?shù)厝苏f(shuō)英語(yǔ)，但他們總是努力地理解我，他們幫了我很多很多，這讓我覺(jué)得全世界有很多好心人。
