地道美语听力练习:新学期

Mom: It's your first day at a new school. I'm worried about you.
妈妈：今天是你第一天去新学校。我真担心你。

Paul: Mom, I'll be fine.
保罗：妈妈，你放心吧。

Mom: Do you have all of your books and supplies in your backpack? Oh and I've packed you a lunch already.
妈妈：所有的书和学校用品都装在背包里了吗？欧，我已经把你的午餐打包好了。

Paul: You didn't have to do that, Mom. I was going to buy lunch at school.
保罗：妈妈，你没必要这么做。我可以在学校买午餐。

Mom: Now you won't have to. I hope you make some new friends. It's no fun being a loner. It's not that you have to be popular. I just don't want you to feel left out.
妈妈：今天不行。我希望你能交些新朋友。独来独往多没意思。并不是说让你多受大家欢迎，我只是不希望你感到被人冷落。

Paul: I'll be fine, Mom. I'd better go, or I'll be late.
保罗：放心吧，妈妈。我最好现在就出发，不然要迟到了。

Mom: Do you think the school will do something special to kick off the new school year? I hope your teachers aren't too strict. Oh, your backpack weighs a ton! But you can leave most of your books in your locker, right?
妈妈：你认为新学期伊始，学校会有什么特殊的活动吗？我希望你的老师不会太严厉。啊，你的背包好像有一吨那么重！不过你可以把大多数书锁在储物柜里，对吗？

Paul: They don't have lockers at my new school, but I'll be fine.
保罗：新学校没有储物柜，不过我背得动。

Mom: I hope the teachers don't already have seating plans. I know you like to sit near the back of the classroom. And I hope you won't have too much homework on the first day...
妈妈：我希望老师们还没有把座位安排好。我知道你喜欢坐在教室后排。上学第一天没有太多家庭作业就好了...

Paul: Mom, stop fussing. Everything will be fine.
保罗：妈妈，别再大惊小怪了。一切都会顺利进行的。

Mom: You're my baby and I'm worried about you.
妈妈：你是我的宝贝，我当然要担心你啊。

Paul: Mom, I'm not starting kindergarten. I'm starting college, remember?
保罗：妈妈，我又不是去上幼儿园。别忘了，我现在是大学生。
