Todd: So, Nydja, you actually just got into graduate school. So you know all about the application process.
托德：妮迪亞，你剛上研究院。那你一定知道申請程序。
Nydja: Yes, that's correct. I just got into grad school. I study International Relations. The process for this school wasn't too tedious. It didn't require a GRE or any long essays or too many references. The other schools that I was considering required the tests. High test scores. An application to be submitted three, four months in advance, so the process can be pretty tedious.
妮迪亞：對，沒錯。我剛進入研究院。我學的專業是國際關系。我念的這所學校申請程序并不是太麻煩。不需要GRE分數，也不需要長篇論文，不需要太多的介紹書。我之前考慮的另一所學校就對考試分數有要求。必須要考高分。而且要提前三至四個月提交申請，這種申請程序就太麻煩了。
Todd: Now, each time that you applied, did you have to pay an application fee?
托德：那每次申請都要交申請費嗎？
Nydja: Yes, some colleges I was looking at upwards of a hundred and fifty dollars. This one was less expensive. It's a smaller school.
妮迪亞：對，我之前考慮的一些大學申請費高達150美元。我上的這所學校申請費要便宜的多。這是一所小學校。
Todd: Wow! A hundred and fifty dollars!
托德：哇！150美元！
Nydja: Yes.
妮迪亞：對。
Todd: So that limits how many schools you can apply to?
托德：所以這限制了你申請學校的數量嗎？
Nydja: Yeah, depending on your funds, so I actually like this program and despite having researched everything else, I chose to stick with this one. I only applied for one and they let me in.
妮迪亞：對，申請數量取決于你的資金，我很喜歡這個項目，雖然我研究了很多，但我選擇只申請一所學校。我只申請了一所學校，而且這所學校錄取我了。
Todd: Oh, so you just went solo?
托德：哦，你只申請了一個？
Nydja: Yeah, I did. I did. I looked at this college, their plan for international travel and I fell in love so nowhere else had this program.
妮迪亞：對，沒錯。我研究了一下這所大學，他們有國際旅行的計劃，我非常喜歡這個計劃，而其他學校沒有這種計劃。
Todd: Yeah, what's the school?
托德：好，你上的是什么學校？
Nydja: Webster University. The International Relations program.
妮迪亞：韋伯斯特大學。國際關系項目。
Todd: And where is it?
托德：這所學校在哪里？
Nydja: It's in Bangkok.
妮迪亞：在曼谷。
Todd: So, you said that for your program, you didn't have to take a test, like the GRE ?
托德：你剛才說這個項目不用參加GRE考試，對吧？
Nydja: No, I did not have to take the GRE. No, I haven't taken it yet.
妮迪亞：對，我不用參加GRE考試。我還沒有考GRE。
Todd: Why?
托德：為什么？
Nydja: Cause, I'm sure it has a math component that I don't want to have to worry about.
妮迪亞：GRE里面有數學題，可是我不想為這個擔心。
Todd: You're not a math person?
托德：你不擅長數學？
Nydja: No, I'm not.
妮迪亞：對，我不擅長。
Todd: So the GRE is what, just math and language?
托德：GRE考試包括數學考試和語言考試？
Nydja: You know I'm not really sure. I know it's kind of like the SAT. They want to look at how ... what is your potential when you get to grad school, so I think it does have maybe a composition section, you know, critical thinking, math analysis questions with numbers.
妮迪亞：我也不太清楚。我知道GRE考試和SAT考試類似。這類考試的目的是測試你在研究院的潛力，我認為考試里可能有需要進行批判性思考的作文還有數學分析題。
