生活英語會話———大學生活
Todd: So, Alex, you're still at university.
託德：亞歷克斯，你還在上大學吧。
Alex: Yes, sir
亞歷克斯：是的，先生。
Todd: So, what's a typical day at university like?
託德：那大學裏每天基本的生活是什麼樣的？
Alex: A typical day at my school, let's see, well I would usually get up, well last semester, I would get up around 8 or so. My first class would be at 9:10. It'd be an hour so around 10:10 I'd get out of class, you know, have lunch, and I was actually a part of the college radio station.
亞歷克斯：我在學樣每天基本的生活，我想一下，像上個學期，我通常會在八點左右起牀。我第一節課是9點10分開始。時間大概是1小時，所以在10點10分左右我就下課了，你知道，我會去吃午飯，實際上我是學校廣播之聲的成員。
Todd: Oh, really.
託德：哦，真的嗎。
Alex: So yeah, I'd hang out there, play some music, you know, joke around, play some pool, go to class. It wasn't too bad.
亞歷克斯：對，我會去廣播之聲放些音樂，你知道，開玩笑，打檯球，去上課。還不算太壞。
Todd: Yeah, where do you play pool?
託德：嗯，你在哪兒打檯球？
Alex: Oh, well, any place that I can really. There's a pool table right next to my radio station at school so I usually play a lot there - a place called Mr. Pockets, too, where I live. They're pretty inexpensive so, I play there too, but I'm not very good. Like the pool table at my college was, it was a bar pool table so you have to pay money for it, 50 cents a game, and I must have put at least a hundred dollars in there and I'm not any better than when I started out, so I don't know.
亞歷克斯：哦，其實我在哪兒都可以打。我們學校廣播之聲旁邊就有張檯球桌，所以我在那裏打的次數比較多——我還會去一個叫Mr. Pockets的地方打球，我住在那裏。那裏非常貴，我也會在那裏打檯球，不過我打得不好。我們學校的那張檯球桌，以前曾經是酒吧的檯球桌，所以打球也要花錢，一局50美分，我每次都至少會花100美元，我現在的水平跟剛開始打球的時候差不多，我也不太清楚。
Todd: That's OK you have other talents.
託德：那還好。你有其他的天賦。
Alex: I guess.
亞歷克斯：我想也是。
Todd: What's the allure of pool? Why do college kids like to play pool?
託德：檯球的魅力是什麼？爲什麼大學生都喜歡打檯球？
Alex: Oh, I have, it's really a mystery, it's very ambiguous. I don't know. It's just the pool tables there and something with hitting balls with a stick into little holes, maybe, but it's a lot of fun. I don't know why I like it as much as I do but even though I'm not so good I like to play some pool.
亞歷克斯：哦，我想檯球非常神祕，讓人捉摸不透。我也不知道。其實就是一張檯球桌，用一根球杆將球打進洞裏而已，不過那真的很有趣。我也不知道我爲什麼那麼喜歡檯球，即使我打得不怎麼好，可是我還是喜歡打檯球。
