George: Hey, hey, hey!
乔治：嘿，嘿，嘿！

Crystal: Hey, hey, hey! How's it going?
克里斯托尔：嘿，嘿，嘿！最近过得怎么样？

George: Bad!
乔治：不好！

Crystal: Why? What's up?
克里斯托尔：为什么？怎么了？

George: I'm a little low on cash these days?
乔治：我这些天手头有点儿紧。

Crystal: Really? What about getting a new job?
克里斯托尔：是吗？找份新工作呢？

George: Well, Where? What's open?
乔治：嗯，哪儿有？哪里有工作机会？

Crystal: Well, I don't know. You're graduating soon, right?
克里斯托尔：嗯，我也不知道。你马上就毕业了，是吧？

George: Well, there's still a good half-year before that?
乔治：还有大半年吧。

Crystal: Yeah, well, yeah, those half-years, you should spend it wisely. This is the best chance to get a job.
克里斯托尔：这半年时间，你应该明智地花钱。这是找工作的最好机会。

George: What do you mean?
乔治：你是什么意思？

Crystal: Well, I don't know, like, I think this is your last chance to get a job before you graduate. Or what do you plan on after graduating? Just hanging around? Playing games?
克里斯托尔：我也说不清楚，我认为这是你在毕业前找工作的最后机会。你毕业后有什么计划吗？就四处闲逛？玩游戏？

George: I don't know. I have no idea what to do after graduation. Do you have any plans?
乔治：我不知道。我还没想好毕业后干什么。你有计划吗？

Crystal: Well, for me ... well, since the economy is going bad, like there is no opening at the moment, but I was thinking if I could be able to like find an internship in a different country or maybe I could keep doing my part-time job at the moment just until things start getting better. Well, I guess you still have nine months left.
克里斯托尔：我……现在经济环境不太好，目前没有工作空缺，不过我在想，在经济环境变好之前，我能在其他国家找到实习机会，或者我能继续做现在的兼职。我想你还有九个月的时间。

George: Yeah. It's a little depressing though thinking about graduation. Being thrown out into the real world.乔治：对，不过一想到毕业就令人沮丧。要进入现实世界了。

Crystal: All my friends who graduated, they're already regretting. They want to go back to school.
克里斯托尔：我所有已经毕业的朋友，现在都开始后悔了。他们想回到学校。

George: Oh, boy!
乔治：哦，天哪！

Crystal: Speaking of which, how about we go to grad school?
克里斯托尔：说到这个，我们念研究院怎么样？

George: No!
乔治：不行！

Crystal: Why not?
克里斯托尔：为什么不行？

George: Grad School!
乔治：研究院！

Crystal: Why not?
克里斯托尔：为什么不行？

George: I don't know if I could deal with another four years of school.
乔治：我不确定我是否能再过四年学校生活。

Crystal: It's not four years. It's only two years, and plus, like, I mean, if you're gonna regret so much like getting a job, like, and plus the economy is really bad for a job right now, I think it's best to lay low and just, you know maybe study a little bit more till the economy gets better and then get a job then.
克里斯托尔：不是四年。研究生只上两年，另外，如果你会后悔工作，而且现在的经济环境很难找工作，我认为最好的方法是缓一缓，继续学习，等经济环境好些以后再找工作。

George: Well, if I could get some sort of full scholarship, perhaps I would be more inclined to do it, but ...
乔治：如果我能拿到全额奖学金，我可能会想继续学习，可是……

Crystal: Yeah, yeah. It's not bad.
克里斯托尔：对，对，还不错。

George: I don't think I could get a scholarship with my horrible G.P.A.?
乔治：可是我的平均成绩太差了，我想我拿不到奖学金。

Crystal: Same here!
克里斯托尔：我也是！

George: Hmm! Grad school!
乔治：嗯！研究院！
