英語(yǔ)大贏家:246 大學(xué)和專業(yè) Universities and Majors
丹尼爾對(duì)大學(xué)不了解，于是阿美就跟他慢慢解釋。其實(shí)阿美同樣也有疑惑，是學(xué)中文還是經(jīng)濟(jì)，她自己還在考慮當(dāng)中。

Daniel: May, is the university a terrible place?
May: Surely not. Life in the university is fun. Why did you ask?
Daniel: Because you study day in and day out for the entrance exam. So I figure you would study even harder after you’ve got in.
May: Studying in the university is not easy, but it's not as arduous as you think.
Daniel: How do you know that? You haven't got in yet.
May: Of course I know. I once attended Lisa's class, sitting quietly at the back of the classroom.
Daniel: Oh, really? Were you not caught?
May: Of course not. You are allowed to attend any lecture, only if there are empty seats for you and you don't disturb the class. In universities, you study in a free and creative environment.
Daniel: What do you want to study in the university? Have you thought about it?
May: This question has really been bothering me. I like Chinese literature, you know. But economics is really hot now, and it has a very good career prospect.
Daniel: I will choose what I like. You don't know what a torture it is for me to study English, because I don't like English.
May: Though I like Chinese literature very much, I'm also interested in economics. It's a tough choice to make.
Daniel: You can decide later. You will have choices before you submit your university application form.
May: Right. I have lots of time to think carefully before I make my final decision.
聽看學(xué)
丹尼爾: 阿美，大學(xué)是個(gè)恐怖的地方嗎？
阿美: 當(dāng)然不是，大學(xué)生活很有趣。你為什么問(wèn)這個(gè)問(wèn)題呀？
丹尼爾: 因?yàn)槟銥榱烁呖疾环謺円沟貙W(xué)習(xí)，所以我想你進(jìn)入大學(xué)以后會(huì)更加努力地學(xué)習(xí)。
阿美: 大學(xué)的學(xué)習(xí)不那么容易，但也不是像你想象的那么枯燥。
丹尼爾: 你怎么知道？你還沒上大學(xué)呢。
阿美: 我當(dāng)然知道了，我曾經(jīng)安安靜靜地坐在教室后面，跟利莎一起上過(guò)課。
丹尼爾: 哦，真的嗎？你沒被抓？
阿美: 當(dāng)然沒有。只要教室里還有空位，你又不擾亂課堂，你就可以旁聽任何課。在大學(xué)里，你可以在輕松而富有創(chuàng)造性的環(huán)境中學(xué)習(xí)。
丹尼爾: 你在大學(xué)想學(xué)什么呢？你有沒有想過(guò)？
阿美: 這個(gè)問(wèn)題一直困擾著我。你知道，我喜歡中國(guó)文學(xué)，但是經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)現(xiàn)在很熱門，而且它的職業(yè)發(fā)展前景也挺好的。
丹尼爾: 我會(huì)選擇我喜歡的。你不知道對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)有多么痛苦，因?yàn)槲也幌矚g英語(yǔ)。
阿美: 雖然我非常喜歡中國(guó)文學(xué)，但我對(duì)經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)也很感興趣。真是很難決定呀。
丹尼爾: 你可以晚點(diǎn)再?zèng)Q定。在你提交志愿表以前你還可以選擇。
阿美: 是呀，在做最后決定前，我還有很多時(shí)間仔細(xì)想想。
