B4 The School

在克里斯的学校中，第七和第八年级的小学生正在组织一个论坛，他们在论坛上了解了不同的工作。他们邀请了成年人来学校谈论他们的职业。克里斯让本加入了他们，并解释什么是新闻业。

Zài Kèlǐsī de xuéxiào zhōng, dì qī hé dì bā niánjí de xiǎoxuéshēng zhèngzài zǔzhī yígè lùntán, tāmen zài lùntán shàng liǎojiěle bùtóng de gōngzuò. Tāmen yāoqǐngle chéngniánrén lái xuéxiào tánlùn tāmen de zhíyè. Kèlǐsī ràng Běn jiārùle tāmen, bìng jiěshì shénme shì xīnwényè.

At Chris’ school, pupils in seventh and eighth grade are organising a forum in which they learn about different jobs. They invite adults to come to the school and talk about their professions. Chris has asked Ben to join them and explain what journalism is.

他们进入了学校并开始和其他人说话。

Tāmen jìnrùle xuéxiào bìng kāishǐ hé qítā rén shuōhuà.

They enter the school and speak to the others.

克里斯的朋友邀请了他的父亲。他是一名医生。他告诉他们他学过医学，现在在医院做外科医生。他还告诉他们，他昨天在救护车上工作，而且在加油站发生了一起可怕的事故。

Kèlǐsī de péngyǒu yāoqǐngle tā de fùqīn. Tā shì yì míng yīshēng. Tā gàosù tāmen tā xuéguò yīxué, xiànzài zài yīyuàn zuò wàikē yīshēng. Tā hái gàosù tāmen, tā zuótiān zài jiùhùchē shàng gōngzuò, érqiě zài jiāyóu zhàn fāshēngle yì qǐ kěpà de shìgù.

Chris' friend has invited his father. He is a doctor and tells them that he studied medicine and now works as a surgeon in a hospital. He tells them that he worked in an ambulance yesterday and that a terrible accident happened at a petrol station.

克里斯感到有些担忧：“这太吓人了！每天您都只看到生病的人。”

Kèlǐsī gǎndào yǒuxiē dānyōu: “Zhè tài xiàrénle! Měitiān nín dōu zhǐ kàndào shēngbìng de ren.”

Chris is upset: “This is horrible! You only see sick people every day.”

“不，这是一项了不起的工作。如果有人伤着了自己，我可以帮助他。我很爱这样做！”

“Bù, zhè shì yí xiàng liǎobùqǐ de gōngzuò. Rúguǒ yǒurén shāngzhaole zìjǐ, wǒ kěyǐ bāngzhù tā. Wǒ hěn ài zhèyàng zuò!”

“No, it is an awesome job. If someone hurts himself, I can help him. I love to do that!”

“啊，是的，这倒是真的！嗯，我想我要成为一名电子游戏程序员。”

“A, shì de, zhè dǎo shì zhēn de! Ń, wǒ xiǎng wǒ yào chéngwéi yì míng diànzǐ yóuxì chéngxùyuán.”

“Ah yes, that is true! Well, I think I want to become a video game programmer.”

“为这些视频编写软件不容易，克里斯！你必须要努力啊。”

“Wèi zhèxiē shìpín biānxiě ruǎnjiàn bù róngyì! Kèlǐsī, nǐ bìxū yào nǔlì a.”

“Writing the software for these videos is not easy, Chris! You will have to work hard.”

“我知道，但是成为一名开发人员真的是我的梦想。”

“Wǒ zhīdào, dànshì chéngwéi yì míng kāifā rényuán zhēn de shì wǒ de mèngxiǎng.”

“I know, but it is really my dream to be a developer.”

本突然在出口看到了一个人。然后本就指着一个带着温和微笑的秃头男人穿过了大厅，并和他握手。

Běn túrán zài chūkǒu kàndàole yígè rén. Ránhòu Běn jiù zhǐzhe yígè dàizhe wēnhé wéixiào de tū tóu nánren chuānguòle dàtīng, bìng hé tā wò shǒu.

Ben suddenly sees someone at the exit. He points to a bald man with a gentle smile and crosses the great hall to shake his hand.

“克里斯，这是史蒂夫！他和我一起上的大学。史蒂夫， 这是我的弟弟克里斯。

“Kèlǐsī, zhè shì Shǐdìfū! Tā hé wǒ yìqǐ shàng de dàxué. Shǐdìfū, zhè shì wǒ de dìdì Kèlǐsī.

“Chris, this is Steve! He went to university with me. Steve, this is my brother Chris.”

“嗨，本，很高兴再次见到你！克里斯你好！

“Hāi, Běn, hěn gāoxìng zàicì jiàndào nǐ! Kèlǐsī, nǐ hǎo!

“Hi Ben, good to see you again! Hello Chris!”

“史蒂夫，你拿到你的物理学位了吗？”

“Shǐdìfū, nǐ nádào nǐ de wùlǐ xuéwèile ma?”

“Steve, did you finish your physics degree?”

“不，我数学考试不及格，不得不换专业。现在我是工程师。”

“Bù, wǒ shùxué kǎoshì bùjígé, bùdébú huàn zhuānyè. Xiànzài wǒ shì gōngchéngshī.”

“No, I failed my maths exam and had to change the subject. Now I work as an engineer.”

“你要记住，克里斯。完成学业并得到文凭并不容易。你必须把专业选对。”

“Nǐ yào jì zhù, Kèlǐsī. Wánchéng xuéyè bìng dédào wénpíng bìng bù róngyì. Nǐ bìxū bǎ zhuānyè xuǎn duì.”

“Keep that in mind, Chris. It is not easy to complete your studies and get a diploma. You must pick the right subject.”

“你现在听起来很像祖父。他告诉我，当年你在我这个年纪的时候，你曾经想当足球运动员。他还说，大学一年级期间，你只”研究“了夜总会和女孩儿们？尽管这样，你还是拿到了学位。”

“Nǐ xiànzài tīng qǐlái hěn xiàng zǔfù. Tā gàosù wǒ, dāngnián nǐ zài wǒ zhège niánjì de shíhòu, nǐ céngjīng xiǎng dāng zúqiú yùndòngyuán. Tā hái shuō, dàxué yī niánjí qījiān, nǐ zhǐ ”yánjiūle“ yèzǒnghuì hé nǚháirmen? Jǐnguǎn zhèyàng, nǐ háishì nádàole xuéwèi.”

“You sound like grandfather now. He told me that, when you were my age, you wanted to be a footballer. He also said that during your first year in university you only ‘studied’ night clubs and girls? And you managed to get your degree despite that.”

“嗯~，通过不断地和女孩儿们说话，我学会了挺多的技巧。这些都是我今天在和客户联系时需要用到的。”

“èn ~, tōngguò buduàn de hé nǚháirmen shuōhuà, wǒ xuéhuìle tǐngduō de jìqiǎo, zhèxiē dōu shì wǒ jīntiān zài hé kèhù liánxì shí xūyào yòngdào de.”

“Well, by talking to girls all the time back then, I developed quite a few of the skills I need today when I contact clients.”

“也许你可以给我一些建议？我班上有一个好看的女孩儿。我想请她和我一起去听音乐会，但我不知道怎么和她说。每次见到她，我肚子都会变得那么疼 。”

“Yěxǔ nǐ kěyǐ gěi wǒ yìxiē jiànyì? Wǒ bān shàng yǒu yígè hǎokàn de nǚháir. Wǒ xiǎng qǐng tā hé wǒ yìqǐ qù tīng yīnyuèhuì, dàn wǒ bù zhīdào zěnme hé tā shuō. Měi cì jiàn dào tā, wǒ dùzi dōu huì biàn de nàme téng.”

“Maybe you could give me a few tips? There is a good-looking girl in my class. I want to ask her to come to the concert with me, but I don’t know how to begin. I have such a stomach ache each time when I see her.”

“当然，克里斯！我很乐意帮助你。”

“Dāngrán, Kèlǐsī! Wǒ hěn lèyì bāngzhù nǐ.”

“Sure, Chris! I am happy to help you.”
