女：哦，我突然发现明天我的日程有时间冲突。
Man: What is it?
男：什么冲突？
Woman: Well, the poetry class I'm teaching meets at 4 o' clock.
女：嗯...我教的诗歌课明天四点钟有课。
My students have a test next week so tomorrow's class is the review session. It's important.
我的学生下周有一次测验，所以明天的课是个复习讲习会，非常重要。
Man: OK?
男：还有呢？
Woman: The other thing is my cousin's retirement party.
女：还有一件事就是我亲戚的退休派对。
But I just realized it also starts at 4 o' clock.
但是我才发现这个派对正好也是四点钟开始。
I haven't realized it was starting at the exact same time as my class.
之前我一直没发现它和我的课开始的时间完全一样。
Man: Oh, no! Well, I'm free tomorrow at 4, if you want, I could cover your class for you. Lead the review session.
男：不是吧！嗯...明天四点我正好没事儿，如果你愿意的话，我可以帮你代课，带着学生们复习。
Woman: Really? What a generous offer!
女：真的吗？你太好了！
Man: I wouldn't mind. I mean, I haven't taught poetry in a few years. I am a little rusty.
男：没事儿。不过我已经好几年没教过诗歌了，有点生疏。
Woman: Well, I have some materials prepared and you could certainly use them.
女：嗯...我有准备一些资料，你完全可以用的。
So it might be tough but you could do it.
这样虽然有些困难，但是我相信你没问题的。
Man: I'll try anyway.
男：不管怎样我试试吧。
Woman: Well, my other option is to go to the class.
女：嗯...其实我也可以选择去上课。
Do the review session myself and arrive late at the retirement party.
自己带学生们复习，然后晚一点再去退休派对。
Man: So you could prepare your students for the test yourself.
男：这样你就可以自己带着学生们准备考试了。
Woman: I could and I know it'd be good for my students.
女：是啊，而且我知道对我的学生来说这样最好。
It's just that I'd miss a lot of the party.
只是我会错过派对上的很多事情。
My cousin and some others are giving speeches and I think it'll be really interesting. It'll be a shame to miss it.
我的亲戚和其他人会发表一些感言，我想一定会很有意思的。要是错过了就太遗憾了。
