Todd: So, Alex, you're still at university.
托德：亚历克斯，你还在上大学吧。
Alex: Yes, sir
亚历克斯：是的，先生。
Todd: So, what's a typical 1 day at university like?
托德：那大学里每天基本的生活是什么样的？
Alex: A typical day at my school, let's see, well I would usually get up, well last semester 2, 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.
亚历克斯：我在学样每天基本的生活，我想一下，像上个学期，我通常会在八点左右起床。我第一节课是9点10分开始。时间大概是1小时，所以在10点10分左右我就下课了，你知道，我会去吃午饭，实际上我是学校广播电台的成员。
Todd: Oh, really.
托德：哦，真的吗。
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.
亚历克斯：对，我会去广播电台放些音乐，你知道，开玩笑，打台球，去上课。还不算太坏。
Todd: Yeah, where do you play pool?
托德：嗯，你在哪儿打台球？
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 3 so, I play there too, but I'm not very good. Like the pool table at my college was, it was a bar 4 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.
亚历克斯：哦，其实我在哪儿都可以打。我们学校广播电台旁边就有张台球桌，所以我在那里打的次数比较多——我还会去一个叫Mr. Pockets的地方打球，我住在那里。那里非常贵，我也会在那里打台球，不过我打得不好。我们学校的那张台球桌，以前曾经是酒吧的台球桌，所以打球也要花钱，一局50美分，我每次都至少会花100美元，我现在的水平跟刚开始打球的时候差不多，我也不太清楚。
Todd: That's OK you have other talents.
托德：那还好。你有其他的天赋。
Alex: I guess.
亚历克斯：我想也是。
Todd: What's the allure 5 of pool? Why do college kids like to play pool?
托德：台球的魅力是什么？为什么大学生都喜欢打台球？
Alex: Oh, I have, it's really a mystery 6, it's very ambiguous 7. 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.
亚历克斯：哦，我想台球非常神秘，让人捉摸不透。我也不知道。其实就是一张台球桌，用一根球杆将球打进洞里而已，不过那真的很有趣。我也不知道我为什么那么喜欢台球，即使我打得不怎么好，可是我还是喜欢打台球。
