實戰(zhàn)口語情景對話：Mean Professor 刻薄的教授

Brett: Hey, Shawn, how are classes going?

布萊特：嗨，肖恩，課上的怎么樣?

Shawn: Well, it's exam time right now, and you know what, I really think I'm going to fail this one class.

肖恩：現(xiàn)在是考試季，我想我這門課可能會不及格。

Brett: Why is that?

布萊特：為什么?

Shawn: Well, it's not any of my fault. It's actually, I think that the teacher doesn't like me.

肖恩：并不是我的錯。實際上，我認為老師不喜歡我。

Brett: He doesn't like you. What do you mean?

布萊特：他不喜歡你。你這么說什么意思?

Shawn: It's kind of strange, I mean, I go up and I ask him and he disagrees with me and but he actually takes personal offense to what I say.

肖恩：我覺得有點奇怪，我去問他問題，他不同意我的觀點，而且認為我說的話冒犯了他。

Brett: Personal offense.

布萊特：受到冒犯。

Shawn: Which is funny, right.

肖恩：這很好笑。

Brett: What do you mean?

布萊特：什么意思：

Shawn: Like, I'll give you an example. I went up because I didn't get a question on my homework right, and I asked him why I didn't get any marks for it, and the question in the book, asked you for your own opinion, so I did write my own opinion, but when I went up to talk to him about the question he said that what I had written wasn't in the book so I got no points for it.

肖恩：我舉個例子吧。我去找他是因為我對我的作業(yè)有疑問，我問他為什么沒有給我的作業(yè)判分，書上的作業(yè)是讓發(fā)表個人觀點，我就寫下了我的個人觀點，可是我和他談論這個問題的時候，他說我寫的內(nèi)容課本上沒有，所以我就沒有分數(shù)。

Brett: So what's the point of asking for your own opinion?

布萊特：那為什么還讓你們談個人觀點?

Shawn: See, that's the funny part. I don't know. What about you? How are your classes going?

肖恩：這就是好笑的地方。我也不知道。你呢?你的課怎么樣了?

Brett: My classes are going OK. Right now I'm really just working on my thesis, and it's taking me a long time to gather all the materials, resources, and go through all the readings, but it's going OK, I think.

布萊特：我的課很順利?，F(xiàn)在我正在寫論文，把所有材料和素材整合在一起、瀏覽所有材料花了我很長時間，不過我想現(xiàn)在一切順利。

Shawn: How many pages do you have to write for your thesis?

肖恩：你們要求論文寫多少頁?

Brett: I probably have to write about twenty pages, or so, and I have to survey about a thousand people and it's taking me a lot of time to analyze all that data.

布萊特：我可能要寫20頁吧，大概是這樣，我要對1000個人進行調(diào)查，所以我花了大量時間進行數(shù)據(jù)分析。

Shawn: Twenty pages, that's not, is that double space or single space?

肖恩：20頁，你是用兩倍行距還是單倍行距?

Brett: That's double space.

布萊特：兩倍行距。

Shawn: So that's not that much.

肖恩：哦，那就不是太多了。

Brett: Yeah, it's about 10,000 words, or so.

布萊特：對啊，大概1萬字左右吧。

Shawn: Well, I hope you do well and good luck to your research.

肖恩：嗯，我希望你順利，祝你研究順利。

Brett: Thank you.

布萊特：謝謝你。
