推薦人: 來源: 閱讀: 2.62W 次

Mark: Hey, Todd, when you look back on your high school experience, do you, in general, do you see it as a positive or a negative experience?

馬克:嗨,託德,你回顧高中生活時,你認爲那是一段積極的經歷還是消極的經歷?

Todd: Oh, definitely positive. It was one of the best times of my life.

託德:哦,絕對是積極的經歷。那是我一生中最好的時光之一。

Mark: Yeah.

馬克:是啊。

Todd: Oh, it was awesome. I mean, it was being with your friends, and you know, driving for the first time and having your first part-time job and playing sports and going to dances. It was great.

託德:那時真是太棒了。和朋友們在一起,第一次開車,第一次做兼職,做體育運動,去跳舞等等。太棒了。

Mark: Now did, a lot of high schools in the states, I went to high school in the states and a lot of high schools have, there are these clicks, you know, there's like a popular group of kids, and then there are other kids who don't really feel like they belong (right) Yeah, I know you Todd. You strike me as you were probably one of the popular kids, so of course you're gonna think high school was great.

馬克:美國的許多高中……我是在美國唸的高中,許多高中都有受歡迎的學生,你知道,就是一羣受歡迎的孩子,而其他孩子則不屬於這一類。託德,我想你就是屬於那種受歡迎的孩子,所以你當然會覺得高中生活很棒了。

Todd: Well, no, actually, I wasn't one of the popular kids, but I was in the popular group, so I played sports so I was one of the jocks.

託德:不是,實際上我並不是受歡迎的孩子,不過我在一個受歡迎的團體裏,我喜歡體育,所以我是運動迷。

Mark: Yeah, one of the jocks, always, they get into the popular clicks easier. So do you, can you imagine like how somebody might feel that wasn't in one of those groups, that they might have hated high school?

馬克:運動迷,很容易成爲受歡迎的人。你有沒有想過,不屬於受歡迎團體的人可能會討厭高中生活?

Todd: Well, I don't know who hated high school but I remember there were the motor heads. Those were the guys that were always working on their car. They had really nice cars they fixed up. They probably didn't like high school too much, then there were the drama freaks, and the drama freaks were, they dressed really different and they were kind of into punk at that time. They were very artistic and very creative, very smart, and because they were so different, I think a lot of kids made fun of them, so maybe they didn't like high school.

託德:我不知道有誰討厭高中生活,不過我記得有那種汽車迷。那些人總是開着車出現。他們把車改裝的非常好。他們可能不太喜歡高中,還有那種戲劇迷,他們會穿着奇怪的衣服,癡迷於朋克。他們有很強的藝術天賦,同時又非常有創造力、又聰明,因爲他們與衆不同,所以我想有許多孩子會取笑他們,也許他們也不喜歡高中生活。

Mark: Now were you one of the kids that made fun of them?

馬克:那些取笑他們的人也包括你嗎?

Todd: Definitely not. I mean, I was never that way. Actually, I was the kid that somehow was friends with everybody because even though I was with the jocks, I wasn't a good jock. I was a terrible athlete, so I was maybe just surviving by being friends with them anyway, but yeah.

託德:當然不是了。我從來沒有那麼做過。實際上,我當時是那種和所有人都能成爲朋友的孩子,雖然我是運動迷,不過我的體育能力並不強。我是個糟糕的運動員,所以我的生存方式就是和他們成爲朋友。

Mark: Now, you're a good baseball player though, right?

馬克:不過你是名出色的棒球運動員,對吧?

Todd: Actually I was but I didn't play baseball because I, in high school because I, foolishly I wanted to make money. I wanted to get a part-time job and get a car, so I stopped. I played football and basketball, though.

託德:以前是,不過我高中的時候沒有打棒球,原因是我愚蠢地認爲我應該掙錢。我想找份兼職,買輛車,所以我就沒有打棒球了。不過我踢足球也打籃球。

Mark: OK, now most high schools, just about every high school, after ten years, you have a high school reunion. Did you go to your 10-year high school reunion?

馬克:好,現在大部分高中,幾乎所有高中都會在十年後舉行高中同學聚會。你參加過高中同學10週年聚會嗎?

Todd: You know, I did not go to my high school reunion. My friends went and, you know, they said it was a pretty good time and everyone had changed, but I didn't go. Have you been to yours?

託德:我沒有參加高中同學聚會。我朋友們去了,他們說他們度過了美好的時光,所有的人都有所改變,可是我並沒有去。你去了嗎?

Mark: I did. I went to mine last year.

馬克:我去了。去年我參加了高中同學聚會。

Todd: Oh, really. Did everybody still look the same?

託德:哦,真的嗎?你的同學們還是原來那個樣子嗎?

Mark: For the most part. What I found interesting is the popular clicks, that I talked about before, they still existed. It was ten years later and it was like all the popular, you know, they're not kids anymore, but all the popular people were hanging out together and all the nerds were kind of standing around on the side and looking lonely and depressed.

馬克:大部分是。我發現了一件有趣的事,我剛纔提到的那些受歡迎的學生現在依然受歡迎。10年之後,那些人已經不再是孩子了,不過這些受歡迎的人會一起活動,而所有的書呆子就會站在一邊,看起來孤獨又沮喪。

Todd: Wow.

託德:哇。

Mark: Yeah it as kind of sad.

馬克:對啊,有點悲傷。
