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。
