美語情景對話 第1270期:Would you rather be a student or a teacher? 你喜歡做學生還是當老師?
George: Hello, I'm George from Hawaii.
喬治:大家好,我是喬治,來自夏威夷。Crystal: And I'm Crystal from America.
克里斯托爾:我是克里斯托爾,來自美國。George: And today's question is: would you rather be a student or a teacher? So Crystal?
喬治:今天要討論的問題是:你更喜歡做學生還是做老師?克里斯托爾?
Crystal: George?
克里斯托爾:喬治?George: Crystal, would you rather be a student or a teacher?
喬治:克里斯托爾,你更喜歡做學生還是做老師?Crystal: I would rather be a student rather than a teacher.
克里斯托爾:相比於當老師來説,我更喜歡做學生。George: Why?
喬治:為什麼?Crystal: Because I think being a student is more fun rather than being a teacher such as ... examples as in classes if you're a student you can have the right to go to class or skip but if you're a teacher you have the responsibility to teach so you have to go to class.
克里斯托爾:因為我認為做學生比當老師更有樂趣,就上課來説,學生有權去上課或逃課,但是如果是老師,因為承擔着教學責任,所以必須去上課。George: OK, that makes sense.
喬治:好,這可以説得通。Crystal: What about you George?
克里斯托爾:你呢,喬治?George: Well, I've done some teaching, yeah.
喬治:我做過教學工作。Crystal: Oh, yeah.
克里斯托爾:哦,好。George: It is stressful, yeah. Being in charge of students knowledge and what not. It's way too stressful and way too much pressure. Way too much pressure. I can't handle that.
喬治:壓力非常大。要負責教授學生知識等工作。那種壓力實在是太大了,太有負擔感了。壓力過多。那讓我應付不過來。Crystal: But then sometimes I would like to be in charge.
克里斯托爾:不過有時我想負責。George: Oh, that would be pretty sweet, yeah!
喬治:哦,那真是很不錯!Crystal: I always wanted to throw those little chalks at their heads. Ugh!
克里斯托爾:我一直想把那些小粉筆扔到他們頭上。咳!George: Can you do that?
喬治:你能那麼做嗎?Crystal: I don't know. You can ....
克里斯托爾:我不知道。你可以……George: I don't have chalk in my classroom. It's all markers. Next time I'm gonna try to throw a marker.
喬治:我的教室裏沒有粉筆。都是馬克筆。下次我會扔馬克筆試試。Crystal: Ah, I like that.
