純正地道美語第337期(外教講解):College Life 校園生活

A: Hey, Jordan, is that you? Long time no see!

嘿，喬丹，是你嗎？好久不見！

B: Oh, hey, no kidding! I haven't seen you since orientation three months ago! So how've you been? Settling into college life OK?

哦，嘿，真的是這樣啊！自從上次分開我們已經有三個月沒見了！你現在好嗎？開始你的大學生活了嗎？

A: Yeah, I think so! I pledged Phi Iota Alpha, so I'm living at the frat house now.

是的，我是這麼想的！我向ΦIA起誓了，所以我現在住在兄弟會的房子。

B: Oh, so you're a frat boy now, huh? 哦，你現在是兄弟會的人了，額？

A: Yeah, yeah, I know, it's totally cliche, but really, I think it's been a good decision. I've got a lot of support and good suggestions from the guys. What about you? What have you been up to?

是的，是的，我知道，這完全是陳詞濫調。但是，我真得覺得這是一個好決定。那兒的兄弟們給了我很多很好的建議。你怎麼樣了？你後來做了什麼？

B: Not much. I'm still living at home and commuting to school. I ended up dropping that metalworking class I was so excited about. It just wasn't as interesting as I'd hoped. The guidance counselor suggested that I focus on my prerequisite courses so that I can make sure the credits count.

沒做太多。我還是住在家裏然後往返學校。我沒有上我很喜歡的金工課。這可不是我希望的。諮詢顧問建議我把注意力放在預學課程上，這樣才能確保能拿到學分。

A: That sounds smart... but kind of boring.

聽起來這樣做是明智的……但是有點無聊。

B: Yeah, it is, a little bit. I joined the Great Outdoors Club, though, which has been a lot of fun. We've gone on two camping trips already, and I've made some good friends.

是的，是有點無聊。但是我加入了戶外運動俱樂部，那裏很好玩。我們已經去露營兩次了，並且結交了一些好朋友。

A: That's cool. Hey, so have you decided on your major yet?

酷。嘿，你已經決定你的專業了嗎？

B: Definitely pre-med. What about you?

當然是醫學預科。你呢？

A: I still have no clue... but we don't have to declare a major till our sophomore year, so I've got time! Oops, I'm late for class. Gotta run!

我還是沒有頭緒……但是我們直到大二那年才須要定下專業，所以還有時間做決定！哎呀，上課快遲到了。得走了！

B: OK, take care! Hey, nice running into you!

好的，保重！嘿，很高興見到你！

A: Yeah, you too!

是的，你也是！
