Hi Jeannie.How's it going?
你好，珍妮。最近怎么樣？
Oh,hello Dan.Pretty well,thanks.
你好，丹，我很好，謝謝。
Have you managed to get the money for the course yet?
你籌到上學(xué)的錢了嗎？
Yes,that's all sorted out now,thanks. It took long enough,though.
是的，現(xiàn)在都解決了，謝謝。盡管花了很長時間。。
It was practically a year ago that I applied to my local council for a grant, and it took them six months to turn me down.
差不多一年前我向地方政府申請助學(xué)金，他們花了六個月的時間拒絕了我的申請
That's really slow. And I thought I was eligible for government funding, but it seems I was mistaken.
太慢了。我想我有資格申請政府資助，但是看起來我弄錯了。
So then I asked the boss of the company I used to work for if they would sponsor me, and much to my surprise,he said they'd make a contribution.
所以我之后問我曾經(jīng)公司的老板是否他們能資助我，令我吃驚的是他說他們可以出資。
But what about college grants and scholarships?
但是學(xué)院獎學(xué)金怎么樣？
There must be some you could apply for.
肯定有你能申請的項目。
Yes,there are,but they're all so small that I decided to leave them until I was desperate. Uhuh.
是有一些，但都太少了，我決定先不申請，等急需的時候再說。嗯。
And in fact I didn't need to apply.
其實我不用申請了。
My parents had been saying that as I already had a job,I ought to support myself through college.
我父母曾說既然我有工作，我應(yīng)該自己交大學(xué)學(xué)費。
But in the end they took pity on me,so now I've just about got enough. That's good.
但最終他們對我表示同情，所以現(xiàn)在我的錢差不多夠了。太好了。
So now I can put a bit of effort into meeting people - I haven't had time so far.Any suggestions?
所以現(xiàn)在我可以在社交上下點功夫了，到目前為止我還沒有時間，有什么建議嗎？
What about joining some college clubs?
加入一些大學(xué)俱樂部怎么樣？
Oh right.You joined several didn't you?
好的。你已經(jīng)加入了幾個，不是嗎？
Yes,I'm in the drama club.
是的，我加入了戲劇社。
It's our first performance next week, so we're rehearsing frantically,and I've got behind with my work, but it's worth it.
下周是我們第一次演出，所以我們正在瘋狂的排練，我的學(xué)業(yè)都耽誤了，但是值得。
I'm hoping to be in the spring production,too.
我還希望參加春季演出。
