A：I’m trying to decide what school to apply for.我在考慮申請(qǐng)哪一所學(xué)校。

B：Are you thinking about a public school or a private one?是上公立學(xué)校還是私立學(xué)校?

A：I’m not sure. What’s the difference between them?我也不知道。有什么區(qū)別?

B：Public schools are usually state funded, whereas private schools usually get their funding elsewhere.公立學(xué)校通常是州政府投資辦學(xué)，而私立學(xué)校通常是通過其他方式籌集資金。

A：Which is better?那么哪一個(gè)更好呢?

B：One isn’t necessarily better than the other. It depends a lot on the school administration and the teachers.不是一所就比另外一所好。這跟學(xué)校的管理和師資有很大關(guān)系。

A：I hear you have to wear uniforms at private schools.我聽說私立學(xué)校要穿校服。

B：Yeah, sometimes.是，有時(shí)候是這樣。
