HOW DO
YOU SAY THAT IN ENGLISH?
1. Will:我聽說你這學期修了三個高級課程。你要怎麼把全部的書讀完? Anne:不會那麼難--我其他的課程全都是入門級的。 Will:
I heard that you're taking three upper-level courses this semester. How are
you going to get all the reading done? Anne:
It won't be so hard-- the rest of my courses are all introductory-level. 2. Laura:對不起,請問教授,選你的研究課有沒有任何先決條件? Prof.
Weaver:是的,有的。在選研究課之前,你必須先通過社會學概論,及一個自選研究課。 Laura:
Excuse me, Professor. Are there any prerequisites for your research seminar? Prof.
Weaver: Yes, there are. You must have passed Introduction to Sociology and one
other seminar of your choice before you can take the research seminar. 3. Warren:現代哲學是演講課嗎? Renee:是的。在人文大樓的演講廳上課,而且座無虛席,所以一定有超過兩百位學生選這門課。 Warren:
Is Contemporary Philosophy a lecture course? Renee:
That's right. It meets in the lecture hall in the Humanities Building, and
there's never an empty seat, so there must be over two hundred students
taking the course. 4. Greg:
有這麼多學生上演講課,那教授一定沒有時間回答每個學生的問題。 Winona:嗯,我們總是可以在小組討論時問教學助教們。 Greg:
There are so many students in the lectures that the professor doesn't have
time to answer everybody's questions. Winona:
Well, we can always ask one of the TA's (teaching assistants) in our
discussion section. 5. Chris:你真的修那些學分課嗎? Jane:沒有,我只修五門,另外三門我只是旁聽。 Chris:
Are you taking all of those courses for credit? Jane:
No, I'm only taking five; the other three, I'm just auditing. 6. Nancy:我怕我如果修這門課,會壞了我的GPA。 James:嗯,你為甚麼不用及格或不及格方式修這門課呢? Nancy:
I'm afraid that if I take that course, I'll ruin my GPA. James:
Well, why don't you take it pass / fail? 7. Larry:我想要上的課程我都沒有選到。 Edward:嗯,我們學校的電腦選課常常這樣。它是舊生先選,但你是新鮮人。 Larry:
I didn't get into any of the courses I wanted! Edward:
Well, that happens sometimes with our school's computer registration. It's
based on seniority, and you're only a freshman. 8. Edward:不要忘記:加退選的期限是今天,所以要把表格繳回註冊組。 Larry:我不會忘記--我如果不加選,我會沒有課可上。 Edward:
Don't forget: the add/drop period ends today, so turn in your form at the
registrar's office. Larry:
I won't forget-- if I don't add any courses, I won't be taking anything! 9. Larry:
選課結果我的課都在早晨上。 Edward:這是個很棒的課表。你每天下午都有空。 Larry:
It turns out that my classes are all in the morning. Edward:
That's a great schedule. You'll have the afternoon free every day. 10. James:你這學期真的要選21個學分嗎? Nancy:是呀。我的課表真的超滿,可是我需要這些學分才能準時畢業。 James:
Are you really taking twenty-one credits this semester? Nancy:
Yeah. My schedule's really over-loaded, but I need all the credits to
graduate on time. |
