A:Finally the class is over. Be quick. Ben must have been waiting for long.课终于上完了。快点,本杰明一定等了很长时间了。
B:Oh, I am so tired. My back is sore and my neck hurts.我好累呀,背很酸,脖子也疼。
A:That's normal. You have been sitting for three hours, with your attention highly concentrated.那很正常,你已经精神高度集中地坐了三个小时了。
B:You are wrong, Shirley. I was always absent-minded in the class. I meant to concentrate on the class, but I was just so tired. Maybe I am old.你错了,雪莉。我上课时总是走神。我想集中精力,但我总是很累。我可能是老了。
A:No. You are just burning yourself out these days. Have a good rest and you will feel energetic again.不,只是你最近太累了。好好休息一下,你就会有精神了。
B:One of my friends took the Adult College Entrance Exam last year. He filled the school column with his name, and his score was relinquished.我的一个朋友去年参加了成人高考,他在学校那一栏填了他的名字,整个成绩就作废了。
A:How could he make such a silly mistake?他怎么会犯这么愚蠢的错误?
B:He said he hadn't taken any exams for ten years, and couldn't get used to it immediately. He was extremely nervous then.他说他有10年没参加考试了,一下子没法适应。那个时候的他特别紧张。
A:He lost a very good chance to go to college, didn't he?他失掉了一个上大学的好机会,是吧?
B:Yeah. The test was fairly easy and almost every test-taker could pass that exam. Adult College Entrance Exam is much easier than college entrance exam. And there are fewer subjects.是呀。考试十分简单,几乎所有参加考试的人都能通过。成人高考比普通高考容易得多。课程也要少得多。
A:That's a very good lesson. We must familiarize ourselves with the exam from now on.那是个很好的教训。我们应该从现在开始就去熟悉考试。
