A
|
你打算考什么学校？
|
|
|
nǐ dǎsuàn kǎo shénme xuéxiào?
|
|
|
What is your plan for university?
|
|
|
|
B
|
北大或者复旦吧。还没决定。我妈希望我去上海，我爸想让我上北大。
|
|
|
Běidà huòzhě Fùdàn ba. hái méi juédìng. wǒ mā xīwàng wǒ qù Shànghǎi, wǒ bà xiǎng ràng wǒ shàng Běidà.
|
|
|
Either Beijing University or Fudan University. I haven't decided yet. My mom hopes I go to Shanghai, and my dad wants me to attend Beijing University.
|
|
|
|
A
|
名气还是北大响一些。不是说北大是中国的哈佛，复旦是中国的耶鲁吗？
|
|
|
míngqì hái shì Běidà xiǎng yīxiē. bùshì shuō Běidà shì Zhōngguó de Hāfó, Fùdàn shì Zhōngguó de Yēlǔ ma?
|
|
|
Beijing University has a better reputation. Don't they say that Beijing University is the Harvard of China, while Fudan is the Yale?
|
|
|
|
B
|
北大多神圣啊，历史悠久，都是高手，我崇拜死他们了。
|
|
|
Běidà duō shénshèng a, lìshǐ yōujiǔ, dōu shì gāoshǒu, wǒ chóngbài sǐ tāmen le.
|
|
|
Beijing University is so revered, and has such a long history. Everyone there is so top notch--I'm in awe of them.
|
|
|
|
A
|
复旦也是老牌名校啊，哎，据说复旦很早以前的两位老校长都是耶鲁毕业的。
|
|
|
Fùdàn yě shì lǎopái míngxiào a, ái, jùshuō Fùdàn hěn zǎo yǐqián de liǎng wèi lǎo xiàozhǎng dōu shì Yēlǔ bìyè de.
|
|
|
Fudan is also a renowned school. Hey, they say a long time ago two of Fudan's school presidents were Yale graduates.
|
|
|
|
B
|
是吗？对我们文科生来说，要考就考北大复旦。
|
|
|
shì ma? duì wǒmen wénkē shēng láishuō, yào kǎo jiù kǎo Běidà Fùdàn.
|
|
|
Really? According to our Liberal Arts department, I should try to get into Beijing University or Fudan.
|
|
|
|
A
|
哇！尖子生就是不一样！
|
|
|
wa! jiānzi shēng jiùshì bù yīyàng!
|
|
|
Wow! We are not in the same league!
|
|
|
|
B
|
两个大学校风都很好，都特别鼓励学生独立思考。但北大好像是政治的感觉比较浓，而复旦比较自由和小资。
|
|
|
liǎng ge dàxué xiàofēng dōu hěn hǎo, dōu tèbié gǔlì xuésheng dúlì sīkǎo. dàn Běidà hǎoxiàng shì zhèngzhì de gǎnjué bǐjiào nóng, ér Fùdàn bǐjiào zìyóu hé xiǎozī.
|
|
|
The school atmosphere at both universities is very good, with both encouraging independent thought from their students. Beijing University, however, seems to have a bit more of a political atmosphere; while Fudan is a little more liberal and yuppie.
|
|
|
|
A
|
大环境的原因吧。北大就在皇城脚下，复旦嘛，在上海......
|
|
|
dà huánjìng de yuányīn ba. Běidà jiù zài huángchéng jiǎo xià, Fùdàn ma, zài Shànghǎi......
|
|
|
The reason for that is their locations. Beijing University is at the foot the central government, and Fudan... it's in Shanghai.
|
|
|
|
B
|
天高皇帝远，经济最重要。
|
|
|
tiāngāo huángdì yuǎn, jīngjì zuì zhòngyào.
|
|
|
Way beyond the reaches of the authorities, where economics take priority.
|
|
|
|
A
|
行了，我们别光说感觉了，你想考什么专业呢？
|
|
|
xíng le, wǒ men bié guāng shuō gǎnjué le, nǐ xiǎng kǎo shénme zhuānyè ne?
|
|
|
All right, let's not just talk about what we think, what major are you considering?
|
|
|
|
B
|
金融、管理方面的，这些专业热门。我爸妈都说和平年代搞经济的赚钱多。
|
|
|
jīnróng, guǎnlǐ fāngmiàn de, zhèxiē zhuānyè rèmén. wǒ bà mā dōu shuō hépíng niándài gǎo jīngjì de zhuànqián duō.
|
|
|
The finance, management side of things. These fields are in great demand. My parents say that in the times of peace, you can make a lot of money in economics.
|
|
|
|
A
|
现在热门的指不定我们毕业的时候就变冷门了呢！
|
|
|
xiànzài rèmén de zhǐbudìng wǒ men bìyè de shíhou jiù biàn lěngmén le ne!
|
|
|
There's no guarantees what's hot now will be in demand when we graduate!
|
|
|
|
B
|
新闻、传播我也挺感兴趣的。
|
|
|
xīnwén, chuánbō wǒ yě tǐng gǎn xìngqù de.
|
|
|
I'm also quite interested in journalism and broadcasting.
|
|
|
|
A
|
金融的话北大和复旦不相上下。新闻还是复旦牛一些。不过分数线一般都是北大高。
|
|
|
jīnróng dehuà Běidà hé Fùdàn bùxiāngshàngxià. xīnwén háishì Fùdàn niú yīxiē. bùguò fēnshù xiàn yībān dōu shì Běidà gāo.
|
|
|
In regards to finance, Beijing University and Fudan are about the same. Journalism is a bit better at Fudan. But the GPA requirements are higher for Beijing University.
|
|
|
|
B
|
嗯。我们还是先好好复习吧。考不好什么都白搭。
|
|
|
ng4. wǒmen háishì xiān hǎohāo fùxí ba. kǎo bu hǎo shénme dōu báidā.
|
|
|
Hmm. We had better get reviewing. If we don't do well on the exams, all of this will be useless.
|
|
|
|
A
|
你肯定没问题。
|
|
|
nǐ kěndìng méi wèntí.
|
|
|
You should have no problem.
