地道美语听力练习:等待考试结果

Joel: Did it come?
乔尔：成绩出来了吗？

Susanne: No, it's not in today's mail. Why do I bother, anyway? I know it's a foregone conclusion. I've failed.
苏珊娜：没有，这不是今天的邮件。为什么我要费劲去想它了？反正我也知道已成定局。我考砸了。

Joel: That's bull! I know you passed. You're just on tenterhooks waiting around for the results to arrive and you're psyching yourself out.
乔尔：胡说八道！我知道你通过了。只是坐在这里等结果出来，让你如坐针毡。你只是在吓唬自己而已。

Susanne: No, I'm not.
苏珊娜：不，我没有。

Joel: Don't you remember that when you came home after taking the exam, you thought you had aced it?
乔尔：你不记得了吗？你考完试回到家时，觉得考得很好。

Susanne: I did, but that was before I started thinking about all of the questions I got wrong. Then, I thought it was a toss up whether I passed or not. Now that I've had even more time to think about it, I'm sure I biffed it.
苏珊娜：那时是这么觉得，但之后我又开始回想我做错的题目。然后估算的分数刚好在及格线上，之后我又仔细回想了许多遍，现在我敢肯定我失败了。

Joel: See what I mean? You've been psyching yourself out for weeks. You studied really hard and I have no doubt that you passed with flying colors. All right, you're not going to hear today, so let's get your mind off of the exam, okay?
乔尔：懂我的意思了吗？你这种担心已经持续了一个星期了。你那么刻苦，一定会轻松通过的，对此我一点儿都不怀疑。好吧，既然今天看不到成绩，那就干脆不要想了，好吗？

Susanne: All right. How?
苏珊娜：好吧，怎样才能不想呢？

Joel: You can help me study for the exam. I'm taking it at the next administration. I have no intention of bombing it or even squeaking by by the skin of my teeth—like some people.
乔尔：你可以帮我复习考试。下一届考试，我也要参加了。我虽不打算跟比人一样取得高分，但也不想以一分之差不及格。

Susanne: Very funny. Okay, so maybe I'm psyching myself out—a little bit. Okay, I'm game. Where do we begin?
苏珊娜：太好笑了。好的，也许我是有点庸人自扰把。好吧，从哪里开始？

Joel: With all of the ones you thought you got wrong.
乔尔：从你觉得做错的题目开始吧。

Susanne: What?!
苏珊娜：什么？

Joel: There's no sense wasting all that worrying. And if you did fail it, you'll need to get ready to take it again.
乔尔：担忧是在浪费你的感情，也毫无意义。就算你真的考砸了，就当作是在为下次的补考做准备。

Susanne: Gee, thanks!
苏珊娜：哇！谢谢！
