实战口语情景对话 第1091期:His DoOver 他希望重新来过的事情

Sarah: So Adam, today we're talking about do-overs. So what is something that you wish you would have done over? For example, maybe something in your university life?
萨拉：亚当，今天我们来谈谈你希望重来一遍的事情。哪些是你想再重新来过的事情？也许是你大学生活期间的事情？

Adam: Yeah. There are a few things. I might change my major. I studied education, and while I enjoy what I'm doing right now, my free time I really like watching movies about science and astronomy. And if I would go back to school and start my studies over, I'd probably study something along those lines, astronomy and metaphysics or something. I think that those topics are really interesting and on the cutting edge of science and just fascinating to explore.
亚当：对，有一些事情。我想改专业。我的专业是教育学，虽然我很喜欢我现在的工作，不过我在空闲时间非常喜欢看有关科学和天文学的电影。如果我能回到学校，重新学习，我可能会学习与天文学或玄学相关的专业。我认为那些课题非常有意思，我非常想去探索最尖端的科学。

Sarah: Interesting. Anything else you wish you would have done?
萨拉：这很有意思。还有其他事是你想重来一遍的吗？

Adam: I might have been more involved in the sports clubs at my school. For example, the American football team. I played in high school but in college, I wanted to play but I didn't have the motivation to push me over the edge to actually go out and really put my heart into it. I went to one training day and kind of tried out, but I didn't really pursue it as much as I would have liked. I think it would have been fun to be a part of that culture and that environment.
亚当：我可能会在上学期间加入运动队。比如美式橄榄球队。我在高中打过美式橄榄球，不过上大学以后，我虽然想继续，但是没有动力驱使我全身心投入到橄榄球运动中。我之前参加过训练和选拔，但是虽然我很喜欢橄榄球，但是我并没有尽力去参与这项运动。我认为成为橄榄球文化和环境的一部分会很有趣。

Sarah: How about something that you did do that maybe now you wish you hadn't?
萨拉：那那些你做过但是现在你希望没做过的事是什么？

Adam: I pierced my ears in high school because that was the cool thing to do. But now I don't wear earrings. And yeah, looking back on it, kind of just a silly thing to do that I'm trying to follow the trends, that, you know, trends usually pass. So yeah, that would be something that I wouldn't do again.
亚当：我在高中打了耳洞，因为当时我认为那是一件很酷的事情。可是我现在不戴耳环。回想一下，追随潮流真是一件很傻的事情，潮流总会过时的。这是我不会再做的事情。

Sarah: Nice. Anything else you would have changed?
萨拉：好。还有其他你希望改变的事情吗？

Adam: I might have made different decisions about my girlfriends at the time. I had a really good girlfriend in the beginning of college, and things didn't work out because of a variety of reasons. But I think if we would have worked on it, we could have. We could have made it, made it happen. So yeah, that's something I think about sometimes about life in college. It's always, you know, college love is kind of a crazy thing. So yeah, we're too much like kids, I guess, I think at that age.
亚当：我可能会对之前的女友做出不同的决定。刚上大学时，我交了一个非常不错的女友，但是因为各种原因，我们俩没能走下去。不过我认为，如果我们能解决我们的问题，我们是能修成正果的。我们能成功，我们能做到。这是我在想到大学生活时，有时会思考的事情。你知道，大学时的恋爱非常疯狂。在那个年纪，我们还像孩子一样。

Sarah: Okay. Thanks, Adam.
萨拉：好。谢谢你，亚当。
