Todd: Tini, you are a student, correct?

托德：蒂尼，你是學(xué)生，對吧?

Tini: Yeah, I am a student.

蒂尼：對，我是學(xué)生。

Todd: OK, do you like to study? Do you like the student life?

托德：你喜歡學(xué)習(xí)嗎?你喜歡學(xué)生生活嗎?

Tini: Of course, you know. Actually, I, myself, I like studying although I'm not that much of a bookworm, but, yes, I like studying. I like spending time with my friends, and I just like enjoying my student life.

蒂尼：當然喜歡。其實我很喜歡學(xué)習(xí)，我并不是書呆子，但我很喜歡學(xué)習(xí)。我喜歡和朋友們共度時光，我很享受學(xué)生生活。

Todd: Now, soon, you are going to graduate, correct?

托德：你馬上就要畢業(yè)了，對吧?

Tini: Yes, fortunately or unfortunately, yes.

蒂尼：對，不知道是幸運還是不幸，我馬上就畢業(yè)了。

Todd: Well, why would you say fortunately?

托德：你為什么認為幸運呢?

Tini: Fortunately, in the sense that, you know, it's about time to get out to the real world and, you know, earn some money, and earn some experience but unfortunately in the sense that all of these precious memories, like you are putting them all behind.

蒂尼：幸運是因為我能出去看看真實的世界，掙錢，獲得經(jīng)驗，不幸是因為要放下這些珍貴的記憶。

Todd: Yeah, soon they are going to be over.

托德：是啊，學(xué)生生活馬上就結(jié)束了。

Tini: Right, right, and then you have more responsibility as soon as you step into the real world, you know. No more spring vacation. No more summer vacation.

蒂尼：對，一旦進入現(xiàn)實生活，就要承擔(dān)更多的責(zé)任。就再也沒有春假和暑假了。

Todd: Actually, that's why I'm a teacher. People always ask me, why are you a teacher? And I say, because the time off. You get so much time off, and you don't have to work a 9-5 schedule.

托德：所以我才選擇當老師。經(jīng)常有人問我為什么當老師?我的回答是，因為有假期。老師有很多假期，不用過朝九晚五的生活。

Tini: Yes, that is a very smart choice, I think.

蒂尼：我認為這是一個明智的選擇。

Todd: Yeah, but you make no money.

托德：但是掙不到什么錢。

Tini: I don't think so.

蒂尼：我不這么認為。

Todd: You think teachers make good money?

托德：你認為老師能掙很多錢?

Tini: Well, not actually, but you know you can be fresher and then forever young.

蒂尼：不是，不過當老師可以保持活力，保持年輕。

Todd: Well, I don't know about forever young but it does... you do feel invigorated when you're teacher. I do agree. Well, you know, if you don't want to give up the student life, you can just become a teacher. Would you like to become a teacher?

托德：我不知道是不是能保持年輕，不過當老師的確會感覺很有活力。這點我同意。如果你不想放棄學(xué)生生活，你可以當老師。你想做老師嗎?

Tini: Well, actually, I have given it a couple of thoughts but right now, I'm really intothe banking industry.

蒂尼：我之前有想過，不過目前我想進銀行業(yè)工作。

Todd: Banking?

托德：銀行業(yè)?

Tini: Yeah, the financing industry, and then so probably I might like give it a go.

蒂尼：對，金融業(yè)，我想試試。

Todd: That's going to be very stressful.

托德：那一定壓力很大。

Tini: It is, but you know, I pretty much like the fast-paced lifestyle, and I'm interested in the content of the work.

蒂尼：的確是，我喜歡快節(jié)奏的生活方式，我對銀行業(yè)的工作內(nèi)容很感興趣。

Todd: Well, good-luck with banking.

托德：好，祝你在銀行業(yè)一切順利。

Tini: Thank you. It's going to be really harsh, I know.

蒂尼：謝謝你。我知道一定會很難。
