About School
1--How many hours a week do you work, Sue 1?
2--We have to start at nine o'clock in the morning.
but I'm always at school by a quarter past eight,
in fact. Erm, we finish at four o'clock 4 days a
week, and I usually do go home at four o'clock,
and I'm usually home by half past four. Wednesday
afternoon is free, so we finish at twelve o'clock
on Wednesday.
1--How long have you been intereted in computers, Sue?
2--Interested. I suppose I got interested when I did
my master's degree.
1--What sort of things do you do with your computer?
2--Well, I use my computer, personally, as a word
processor, quite a lot, but I also use it for playing
around creating programs.
===================================
注解:
1)How long have you been interested in computers?
此句直译:你对计算机感兴趣有多长时间了?
2)I got interested in...:got是系动词,与be interested
相比,前者强调"action",后者强调"state"。
3)master's degree:硕士学位。大学授予的学位分三级,最低
级称作“学士”(Bachelor's degree),中级称“硕士”,最高级
称“博士”(Doctor's degree)。
4)sort:种类,类别。与kind同义。
5)word processor:文字处理机。
6)play around creating programs:他在计算机上编制
程序等等只是为了娱乐消遣,并非正经的工作,所以才这样
说。play around作"spend time having fun","to amuse 2 oneself
with..."解。
===================================
译文:
1--你一个星期工作多少小时,休?
2--我们早上必须9点开始工作。但实际上我总是8点
15分就到学校了。每个星期有四个下午是4点结束
工作。所以我经常是4点钟就往家走。4点半钟到家。星期
三下午没事,所以我们星期三中午12点就完事了。
1--休,你从什么时间起对计算机感兴趣的?
2--我想是从硕士学位时我就对计算机感兴趣。
1--你都用计算机干些什么事?
2--嗬,我自己是用计算机进行文字处理,用得很多,
但有时也用计算机编程序取乐。
