陈磊，让我抄一下数学作业吧。老师待会儿要检查，我一道题都没做。
|
|
|
Chén Lěi, ràng wǒ chāo yīxià shùxué zuòyè ba. lǎoshī dāi huìr yào jiǎnchá, wǒ yī dào tí dōu méi zuò.
|
|
|
Chen Lei, let me copy your math homework, OK? In a little while the teacher is going to check it, and I haven't finished even one of the questions.
|
|
|
|
B
|
不行，老师会发现的。
|
|
|
bù xíng, lǎoshī huì fāxiàn de.
|
|
|
No way. The teacher will find out.
|
|
|
|
A
|
我一看到几何、代数就头晕。好哥们儿，你就帮帮我嘛。
|
|
|
wǒ yī kàndào jǐhé, dàishù jiù tóuyūn. hǎogērmen, nǐ jiù bāng bang wǒ ma.
|
|
|
The second I see geometry and algebra I get dizzy. Buddy, help me out, will you?
|
|
|
|
B
|
这样吧，你有不懂的地方，我可以教你。
|
|
|
zhèyàng ba, nǐ yǒu bù dǒng de dìfang, wǒ kěyǐ jiāo nǐ.
|
|
|
How about this--the parts you don't understand, I can teach you.
|
|
|
|
A
|
那这道算三角形面积的怎么做？
|
|
|
nà zhè dào suàn sānjiǎoxíng miànjī de zěnme zuò?
|
|
|
OK, how do you calculate the surface area of a triangle?
|
|
|
|
B
|
这个简单，有公式的。只要底乘以高再除以2就行了。
|
|
|
zhège jiǎndān, yǒu gōngshì de. zhǐyào dǐ chéngyǐ gāo zài chúyǐ èr jiù xíng le.
|
|
|
That's simple, there is a formula. You just need to multiply the base by the height and divide that by two.
|
|
|
|
A
|
答案是多少？我懒得算了。
|
|
|
dá'àn shì duōshǎo? wǒ lǎn de suàn le.
|
|
|
What is the answer? I don't feel like calculating it.
|
|
|
|
B
|
你不是有计算器吗？你自己算。
|
|
|
nǐ bù shì yǒu jìsuànqì ma? nǐ zìjǐ suàn.
|
|
|
Don't you have a calculator? Figure it out for yourself.
|
|
|
|
A
|
真小气。徐晓婷，我数学作业不会做，你教我一下吧。
|
|
|
zhēn xiǎoqì. Xú Xiǎotíng, wǒ shùxué zuòyè bù huì zuò, nǐ jiāo wǒ yīxià ba.
|
|
|
That's so stingy. Xu Xiaoting, I can't do my math homework. Teach me how to do it, OK?
|
|
|
|
C
|
好的。哪一道？
|
|
|
hǎo de. nǎ yī dào?
|
|
|
All right. Which question?
|
|
|
|
A
|
这道。2的4次方是多少？
|
|
|
zhè dào. èr de sì cì fāng shì duōshǎo?
|
|
|
This one. What is 2 to the power of 4?
|
|
|
|
C
|
你乘一下就出来了。
|
|
|
nǐ chéng yīxià jiù chūlai le.
|
|
|
You just multiply it and you'll get it.
|
|
|
|
A
|
2乘以4等于8。不会这么简单吧？
|
|
|
èr chéngyǐ sì děngyú bā. bù huì zhème jiǎndān ba?
|
|
|
2 times 4 equals 8. It couldn't be that simple, could it?
|
|
|
|
C
|
什么呀。应该是4个2相乘。
|
|
|
shénme yā. yīnggāi shì sì ge èr xiāngchéng.
|
|
|
What? You should be multiplying the 2 by itself four times.
|
|
|
|
A
|
你还是直接告诉我答案吧。哎！你们好学生做题目怎么那么轻松呢？我脑子想破了都想不出来。
|
|
|
nǐ háishì zhíjiē gàosu wǒ dá'àn ba. āi! nǐmen hǎo xuésheng zuò tímù zěnme nàme qīngsōng ne? wǒ nǎozi xiǎng pò le dōu xiǎng bu chūlai.
|
|
|
It would be better if you just told me the answer. Sigh! How can you good students do the questions so easily? I rack my brains and still can't come up with anything.
|
|
|
|
C
|
其实你脑子挺聪明的。只要肯努力，说不定成绩比我们还好呢。
|
|
|
qíshí nǐ nǎozi tǐng cōngming de. zhǐyào kěn nǔlì, shuōbudìng chéngjì bǐ wǒmen hái hǎo ne.
|
|
|
Actually you have a clever mind. You just have to be willing to work hard and it's quite possible that your grades could be even better than ours.
|
|
|
|
A
|
条条大路通罗马。反正我不想走读书这条路。你看我爸，数学一塌糊涂，炒股票照样赚钱。
|
|
|
tiáotiáo dàlù tōng Luómǎ. fǎnzhèng wǒ bù xiǎng zǒu dúshū zhè tiáo lù. nǐ kàn wǒ bà, shùxué yītāhútu, chǎo gǔpiào zhàoyàng zhuànqián.
|
|
|
All roads lead to Rome. In any case, I don't want to take the studying road. Look at my dad, he's a mess at math, and by speculating in the stock market he makes money all the same.
|
|
|
|
B
|
可是现在是21世纪，有知识才能赚钱。
|
|
|
kěshì xiànzài shì èrshí yī shìjì, yǒu zhīshi cáinéng zhuànqián.
|
|
|
But now it's the 21st century, you can only make money by having knowledge.
|
|
|
|
A
|
那可不一定。我都给你们分析过了。陈磊，你呢，数学好，适合当数学家。徐晓婷呢，适合......
|
|
|
nà kě bù yīdìng. wǒ dōu gěi nǐmen fēnxī guo le. Chén Lěi, nǐ ne, shùxué hǎo, shìhé dāng shùxuéjiā. Xú Xiǎotíng ne, shìhé......
|
|
|
That's not for certain. I've analyzed it before for you guys. Chen Lei, what about you--good at math, you suit becoming a mathmatician. Xu Xiaoting, you suit...
|
|
|
|
C
|
行了！你还是赶快想想作业没做好，怎么交差吧。
|
|
|
xíng le! nǐ háishì gǎnkuài xiǎng xiang zuòyè méi zuò hǎo, zěnme jiāochāi ba.
|
|
|
All right already! You had better hurry up and think about your homework not being done and how you're going to get it done.
