實(shí)戰(zhàn)口語(yǔ)情景對(duì)話：Mean Professor 刻薄的教授

Brett: Hey, Shawn, how are classes going?

布萊特：嗨，肖恩，課上的怎么樣?

Shawn: Well, it's exam time right now, and you know what, I really think I'm going to fail this one class.

肖恩：現(xiàn)在是考試季，我想我這門課可能會(huì)不及格。

Brett: Why is that?

布萊特：為什么?

Shawn: Well, it's not any of my fault. It's actually, I think that the teacher doesn't like me.

肖恩：并不是我的錯(cuò)。實(shí)際上，我認(rèn)為老師不喜歡我。

Brett: He doesn't like you. What do you mean?

布萊特：他不喜歡你。你這么說(shuō)什么意思?

Shawn: It's kind of strange, I mean, I go up and I ask him and he disagrees with me and but he actually takes personal offense to what I say.

肖恩：我覺(jué)得有點(diǎn)奇怪，我去問(wèn)他問(wèn)題，他不同意我的觀點(diǎn)，而且認(rèn)為我說(shuō)的話冒犯了他。

Brett: Personal offense.

布萊特：受到冒犯。

Shawn: Which is funny, right.

肖恩：這很好笑。

Brett: What do you mean?

布萊特：什么意思：

Shawn: Like, I'll give you an example. I went up because I didn't get a question on my homework right, and I asked him why I didn't get any marks for it, and the question in the book, asked you for your own opinion, so I did write my own opinion, but when I went up to talk to him about the question he said that what I had written wasn't in the book so I got no points for it.

肖恩：我舉個(gè)例子吧。我去找他是因?yàn)槲覍?duì)我的作業(yè)有疑問(wèn)，我問(wèn)他為什么沒(méi)有給我的作業(yè)判分，書上的作業(yè)是讓發(fā)表個(gè)人觀點(diǎn)，我就寫下了我的個(gè)人觀點(diǎn)，可是我和他談?wù)撨@個(gè)問(wèn)題的時(shí)候，他說(shuō)我寫的內(nèi)容課本上沒(méi)有，所以我就沒(méi)有分?jǐn)?shù)。

Brett: So what's the point of asking for your own opinion?

布萊特：那為什么還讓你們談個(gè)人觀點(diǎn)?

Shawn: See, that's the funny part. I don't know. What about you? How are your classes going?

肖恩：這就是好笑的地方。我也不知道。你呢?你的課怎么樣了?

Brett: My classes are going OK. Right now I'm really just working on my thesis, and it's taking me a long time to gather all the materials, resources, and go through all the readings, but it's going OK, I think.

布萊特：我的課很順利?，F(xiàn)在我正在寫論文，把所有材料和素材整合在一起、瀏覽所有材料花了我很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間，不過(guò)我想現(xiàn)在一切順利。

Shawn: How many pages do you have to write for your thesis?

肖恩：你們要求論文寫多少頁(yè)?

Brett: I probably have to write about twenty pages, or so, and I have to survey about a thousand people and it's taking me a lot of time to analyze all that data.

布萊特：我可能要寫20頁(yè)吧，大概是這樣，我要對(duì)1000個(gè)人進(jìn)行調(diào)查，所以我花了大量時(shí)間進(jìn)行數(shù)據(jù)分析。

Shawn: Twenty pages, that's not, is that double space or single space?

肖恩：20頁(yè)，你是用兩倍行距還是單倍行距?

Brett: That's double space.

布萊特：兩倍行距。

Shawn: So that's not that much.

肖恩：哦，那就不是太多了。

Brett: Yeah, it's about 10,000 words, or so.

布萊特：對(duì)啊，大概1萬(wàn)字左右吧。

Shawn: Well, I hope you do well and good luck to your research.

肖恩：嗯，我希望你順利，祝你研究順利。

Brett: Thank you.

布萊特：謝謝你。
