托德：你为什么认为幸运呢？

蒂尼：对，一旦进入现实生活，就要承担更多的责任。就再也没有春假和暑假了。

Todd: Actually, that's why I'm a teacher. People always ask me, why are you a teacher? And I say, because the time off. You get so much time off, and you don't have to work a 9-5 schedule.
托德：所以我才选择当老师。经常有人问我为什么当老师？我的回答是，因为有假期。老师有很多假期，不用过朝九晚五的生活。

Tini: Yes, that is a very smart choice, I think.
蒂尼：我认为这是一个明智的选择。

Todd: Yeah, but you make no money.
托德：但是挣不到什么钱。

Tini: I don't think so.
蒂尼：我不这么认为。

Todd: You think teachers make good money?
托德：你认为老师能挣很多钱？

Tini: Well, not actually, but you know you can be fresher and then forever young.
蒂尼：不是，不过当老师可以保持活力，保持年轻。

Todd: Well, I don't know about forever young but it does... you do feel invigorated when you're teacher. I do agree. Well, you know, if you don't want to give up the student life, you can just become a teacher. Would you like to become a teacher?
托德：我不知道是不是能保持年轻，不过当老师的确会感觉很有活力。这点我同意。如果你不想放弃学生生活，你可以当老师。你想做老师吗？

Tini: Well, actually, I have given it a couple of thoughts but right now, I'm really into the banking industry.
蒂尼：我之前有想过，不过目前我想进银行业工作。

Todd: Banking?
托德：银行业？

Tini: Yeah, the financing industry, and then so probably I might like give it a go.
蒂尼：对，金融业，我想试试。
