A:May, could you bring this note to Professor Li for me today?阿美,今天你能幫我把這張便條帶給李教授嗎
B:Sure, no problem. Asking for leave again? You have been absent from class five times this semester.好的,沒有問題。又要請假?這個學期你已經請了五次假了。
A:I know. But attending Miss Li's class is just waste of time. No more than one third of her students will go to her class.我知道,但是上她的課只是浪費時間。上她課的學生總數不超過三分之一。
B:I agree that Miss Li doesn't teach so well. Most students either sleep or do other things in her class.我也認為李教授教得不是很好,大部分同學上她的課的時候要么就睡覺,要么就做別的事情。
A:Yeah, my boyfriend plays the video game every time in class with me. Or I chat with my friends through text messages.是的,在她的課上,我男朋友常陪我玩電子游戲,要不然我就跟朋友發(fā)短信聊天。
B:Fortunately her class is just an elective course, not as important as compulsory courses.幸虧她的課只是門選修課,不像必修課那么重要。
A:Right, so we must spare some time to attend selective courses.沒錯,我們必須多留出一點時間來上選修課
B:But isn't it too impolite to be absent?但是逃課好像不太禮貌吧?
A:What can I do? I have things to do in Students' Government.我能怎么辦?我在學生會有事情要做。
B:Oh, I thought you just gave an excuse on this note.我想你應該在這個條子上寫一個理由。
A:Sometimes I will try various excuses. But this is my last time asking for leave. Or I will have a bad record.有時我會嘗試寫各種理由,但是這是我最后一次請假了。否則我會有不良記錄的。
B:Yeah, besides, your credit will be deducted. That is kind of serious.嗯,除此之外,學分也會被減。事情會比較嚴重。
A:I have been absented from many classes this semester just because of my work in the Students' Government.這個學期由于學生會的工作,我已經缺了不少課了。
B:You can't write with one hand and draw with the other.人不能一心兩用嘛。
A:I am thinking about quitting my job in the student government. But before that, I must do my job. Bye. Don't forget about that note.我想辭掉學生會的工作。但是在那之前,我必須完成我的工作。拜拜,別忘了請假條。
B:You can count on me.相信我。
