DIALOGUE 45:I Intend to Go to University

1--You've just left school, haven't you, Sheila?

2--Yes, I finished last Friday.

1--You sound relieved.

2--Well, yes. I don't mind admitting that I am. I

enjoyed school. But I did object to having to go

in every day once we've done all our exams.

1--Well, what are you going to do now? Have you

made any plans?

2--Yes, I intend to go to university. That will be

in September. But it all depends on my A level

results.

1--You mean getting into university actually depends

on your passing your A level subjects, does it?

2--Oh, yes.

===================================

注解：

1）sound relieved是系表结构。sound与you look

happy一句中的look一样起系动词的作用。relieved是

过去分词作表语。

2）object to：反对，不赞成。

3）depend on：依靠；取决于。

4）A level=Advanced level

===================================

译文：

1--你刚离开学校，是吗，希拉？

2--是的，上星期五我刚毕业。

1--你听起来轻松多了。

2--是的，我不在乎说我轻松了。我乐意上学，但是我

确实不赞成考完试了还得去上学。

1--那么，现在你打算干什么？你有什么计划吗？

2--是的，我打算上大学。那是9月份的事。但是那

要看我的A级考试成绩如何了。

1--你是说，上大学实际上要看你A级考试科目的成绩，

是这样吗？

2--噢，是的。
