Roommate: Why are there so many people in the hall today? I bet even the youngest of them gotta be over 60.
May: They are schoolmates of our university. There is a reunion of our university.
Roommate: Look, May, the man in grey suit looks like the mayor of our city.
May: That's him. He graduated from our university. And there are also other important people here: scientists, researchers, engineers, managers, etc.
Roommate: Really? I hear that the statue besides our school gate is donated by them.
May: Yes, I know that. They have given lots of money to our university.
Roommate: Why?
May: They graduated from this university and have become very successful people. And they feel very grateful to their university.
Roommate: I feel more grateful to my teachers than to my school.
May: You are lucky to have good teachers in a good school.
Roommate: Year, maybe I would come back with my boyfriend to this school when we are old. After all, it's the place where we first met each other.
May: Look at those three couples; they must have been classmates in our university.
Roommate: How do you know that?
May: Because they come back together and only the graduates of this university are invited.
Roommate: You are right. But what are we here for?
May: We will serve them tea and snacks. Come on, we must work now.
聽看學(xué)
室友: 為什么今天大廳里會有這么多人?我打賭即便這里最年輕的人也有60歲了。
阿美: 他們是我們的校友。我們學(xué)校有個聚會。
室友: 快看,阿美。那位穿黑色西服的人看起來好像我們的市長。
阿美: 就是他。他是從我們學(xué)校畢業(yè)的。這兒還有很多重要的人士:科學(xué)家、研究學(xué)者、工程師、經(jīng)理等等。
室友: 真的嗎?我聽說我們學(xué)校校門旁邊的雕像是他們捐贈的。
阿美: 是的,我知道。他們還給我們學(xué)校捐了不少錢。
室友: 為什么?
阿美: 他們是從這個學(xué)校畢業(yè),并且成了成功人士。他們對學(xué)校應(yīng)該是心存感激吧。
室友: 相對于學(xué)校,我更感謝我的老師。
阿美: 在好的學(xué)校又有好的老師,真幸運。
室友: 是啊,也許當(dāng)我跟我男朋友老的時候可以回學(xué)校來看看。畢竟這是我們第一次見面的地方。
阿美: 看那三對夫婦,在上學(xué)的時候,他們肯定是同班同學(xué)。
室友: 你怎么知道的?
阿美: 因為他們是一起來的,只有我們學(xué)校的畢業(yè)生才會被邀請。
室友: 那倒是。我們到這來干什么?
阿美: 我們幫他們倒茶,準(zhǔn)備小吃啊??禳c,我們得趕快。
