DIALOGUE 45

I Intend to Go to University

1--You've just left school, haven't you, Sheila?
2--Yes, I finished last Friday.
1--You sound relieved.
2--Well, yes. I don't mind admitting that I am. I
enjoyed school. But I did object to having to go
in every day once we've done all our exams.
1--Well, what are you going to do now? Have you
made any plans?
2--Yes, I intend to go to university. That will be
in September. But it all depends on my A level
results.
1--You mean getting into university actually depends
on your passing your A level subjects, does it?
2--Oh, yes.

===================================
注解：

1）sound relieved是系表結構。sound與you look
happy一句中的look一樣起系動詞的作用。relieved是
過去分詞作表語。
2）object to：反對，不贊成。
3）depend on：依靠；取決于。
4）A level=Advanced level

===================================
譯文：

1--你剛離開學校，是嗎，希拉？
2--是的，上星期五我剛畢業。
1--你聽起來輕松多了。
2--是的，我不在乎說我輕松了。我樂意上學，但是我
確實不贊成考完試了還得去上學。
1--那么，現在你打算干什么？你有什么計劃嗎？
2--是的，我打算上大學。那是9月份的事。但是那
要看我的A級考試成績如何了。
1--你是說，上大學實際上要看你A級考試科目的成績，
是這樣嗎？
2--噢，是的。
