Conversation Two
對話二
M: Hi, Betty, it's nice to see you here. Thank god the final examination is over, and we don't have to stay up all night to cram all the academic stuff into our minds.
男:嗨,貝蒂,在這里見到你很高興。期末考試結束了,再也不用熬夜為考試死記硬背了,真是謝天謝地。
W: Yes. That's true. And now we can look forward to the summer holiday. I've been thinking of going to the United States for some time.
女:嗯,對啊。現在可以期待暑假的到來了。我在想要去美國待一段時間。
M: Well, I think it would be much better for you to go on holiday here in England than to the U.S. To start with, it's much nearer, and so it would be much cheaper to get around. That means you will have far more money to buy things you like.
男:嗯,我覺得你待在英格蘭度假比去美國要好。首先,這里更近,四處逛逛會便宜很多。那樣你就能有更多錢去買你喜歡的東西了。
W: That may be true. But I still want to go the U.S. Just thinking about when you get there, there are so many different things to see, and places to go. Imagine you could go to New York, San Francisco, the Grand Canyon, and Disney World! That's really cool.
女:有道理。不過我還是想去美國。想想你到那兒以后,那里有很多不同的東西可看,更多的地方可去。想象一下,你可以去包括紐約、舊金山、大峽谷和迪士尼樂園!太棒了。
M: Exactly! Disney World! I have been dreaming of going there ever since my childhood.
男:是的!迪士尼樂園!我從小時候就一直夢想能去那里。
W: So, you are gonna change your mind, aren't you?
女:那么,你改變想法了,對嗎?
M: No, I'm kind of still worrying about the cost of taking a trip to the U.S. That's a lot of money. Meanwhile, if you stay here in England, you can probably take up some part-time jobs. Then you can even earn some extra money to support your study next semester.
男:不,我還是會擔心去美國的費用。那是一大筆錢。而且,如果你待在英格蘭,或許還能做一些兼職。這樣你還能攢下個學期的學費。
W: Yeah, maybe you are right. I'll think it over, and talk about it with my parents while I'm home. After all, it is they who pay for my study here in the university.
女:是啊,或許你是對的。我會好好考慮一下,在回家后和父母討論一下。畢竟是父母為自己支付上大學的費用。
