地道美語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力播客888：上網(wǎng)校

Carlos: So where are you planning on attending college?

卡洛斯：你打算去哪所大學(xué)

Torrie: I’ve picked Harford University.

托里：我申請(qǐng)了哈福德大學(xué)。

Carlos: The only Harford University I’ve heard of is a degree mill.

卡洛斯：我聽(tīng)說(shuō)哈福德大學(xué)就是一個(gè)文憑工廠

Torrie: I’m sure it’s not the same one. The Harford University I’m attending is accredited, at least I’m pretty sure it is. The best part of going to Harford is I’ll never have to attend classes on campus. I can do all of mycoursework online.

托里：我相信它不是。我申請(qǐng)的哈福德大學(xué)是經(jīng)過(guò)認(rèn)證的，至少我十分相信它。去哈福德最大的好處我在學(xué)校終于不用去上課了。我可以在網(wǎng)上做所有的課程作業(yè)。

Carlos: You want to attend an online university? There are some legitimate ones that offer good distance education, but many have low admissions standards and don’t provide a very good education.

卡洛斯：我想上網(wǎng)校?網(wǎng)上有好多合法機(jī)構(gòu)提供不錯(cuò)的遠(yuǎn)程教育，但是很多機(jī)構(gòu)門檻低，并不能提供優(yōu)質(zhì)教育。

Torrie: Not Harford. It’s a good degree- granting institution and they even give you credit for relevant life experience. I won’t need to take very many courses to graduate.

托里：哈福德不是這樣。這是一個(gè)較好的保證文憑的機(jī)構(gòu)，甚至還提供相關(guān)生活經(jīng)驗(yàn)證書。我不用上那么多課就能畢業(yè)。

Carlos: That sounds pretty fishy to me.

卡洛斯：我還是覺(jué)得不太可靠。

Torrie: Don’t worry. My transcript and degree will be indistinguishable from those from a traditional university, without nearly as much work.

托里：別擔(dān)心。將來(lái)我的成績(jī)單和文憑證書和傳統(tǒng)的大學(xué)沒(méi)啥區(qū)別，并且還沒(méi)有太多的作業(yè)。

Carlos: That should tell you something. How is their job placement rate?

卡洛斯：還有一件事要提醒你，他們的就職率怎么樣?

Torrie: I’m not sure, but I’m pretty sure I’ll be as competitive as any other college graduate.

托里：我不太清楚，但是我很確信我和其他大學(xué)生一樣有競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力

Carlos: If you say so. What are you doing right now?

卡洛斯：好吧，既然你如此堅(jiān)持，那你現(xiàn)在準(zhǔn)備做什么呢?

Torrie: I’m playing a video game stealing cars. At Harford, that’s considered relevant life experience. Cool, huh?

托里：我在玩盜車賊的電腦游戲。在哈福德這也算作生活經(jīng)驗(yàn)，爽嗎?

Carlos: Yeah, cool.

卡洛斯：恩，挺爽的。
