Eric和Patty是好朋友,也是大學同學。他們中午一起吃飯,聊起了校園生活。

Professor: In this first part, we will learn how to ask what classes someone is taking.

Patty: Hi Eric! Are you having fun at college?

Eric: Yes, it's great. How many classes are you taking?

Patty: I'm taking four classes. Are you taking a lot of classes?

Eric: I'm taking three classes.

Professor Bowman, Eric怎麽隻選三門課?美國大學生的日子也太輕鬆了吧!

Professor: Well Winnie, maybe they are taking hard classes and have to study a lot.

這麽說也有道理。可能正是因為課程難度大,所以他們才隻選幾門課。

Professor: Let's listen and find out what their classes are.

Patty: What classes are you taking?

Eric: Well, I'm taking English classes.

Patty: I see. Well I'm taking a lot of science classes, like chemistry.

Eric: Chemistry? Wow, that sounds hard. You must have a lot of work.

Patty選修化學課,這門課可不好學。可是Professor Bowman, Eric為什麽要選英文課呢?英語不是他的母語麽?這算不算投機取巧?

Professor: Well Winnie, some English classes are hard, even for Americans. Students have to read very hard books.

原來如此。那麽,在美國大學裏,學生們是不是每天都要上課呢?

Professor: Well, let's listen to Eric and Patty talking about when they have classes.

Patty: What's your schedule like?

Eric: It's great! I only have classes from Monday to Thursday!

Patty: You don't have any classes on Friday?

Eric: No, so I can have fun with my friends on Thursday night.

Eric不光選修英文課,而且一個禮拜隻上四天課,這怎麽可能?

Professor: Yes, some students have easy schedules. Now let's listen to them talking about their professors.

Eric: Who is your chemistry professor?

Patty: I got Professor Franklin for chemistry. He's really great!

Eric: Who did you get for math?

Patty: I got Professor Martinez for math. He's good, but the TA is so boring. TA? TA是什麽?

Professor: A TA is a "teaching assistant." They are older students who help professors teach the younger students.

哦,TA就是Teaching Assistant的縮寫,也就是助教的意思。Patty說她很喜歡自己的數學教授,不過教授的那位助教卻非常沉悶無聊。

Professor: Right. You know, if my students don't study hard enough, sometimes I'll get a mean TA to help me teach.

我們不認真,你就要找個厲害的TA,那我們如果特別認真,你就會找個特別帥的TA嘍?

Professor: No. If I get a cute TA, everyone will have a crush on him and study less. Now Eric and Patty are going to talk about what clubs they are in.

Eric: What do you do outside of class?

Patty: I'm in some fun clubs.

Eric: What kind of clubs are you in?

Patty: I do all kinds of things. I do some academic clubs, but other clubs are just for fun.

哇, Patty 可真行,加入了這麽多課外社團。Professor, 美國大學中都有那些社團呢?

Professor: Some clubs are academic. Students study together for tests or discuss current events. Some clubs are just for fun. They do things like yoga and hip hop dancing.

瑜珈社和街舞社,聽起來真不錯!不知道Eric加入了什麽社團沒有!

Eric: I'm only in a hip hop dancing club. It's really fun.

Patty: A dancing club? I love hip hop music, and I love dancing.

Eric: You should join. It's not full, and there are plenty of spaces left.

Patty: I think I will. It would be fun to do a club together.

Eric隻參加了街舞社?他這個人,課隻選了三門,每周隻上四天課,連跟學習有關的課外社團也不參加。唉,他過得也太輕鬆了吧!

Professor: Well, Eric may be busy for other reasons. Tune in next time and we'll learn more about student life.
