Todd: Yeah, you know, I was wondering though, at night I do my laundry sometimes and the laundry room is near your room and it makes a lot of noise. Does it keep you up at night?
托德:你知道,有時(shí)我會(huì)在晚上去洗衣房,洗衣房離你的房間很近,洗衣服的時(shí)候會(huì)有很大的噪音,這會(huì)不會(huì)使你晚上無(wú)法入睡?
Phil: I've never heard it to be honest. Maybe I'm a really good sleeper or something.
菲爾:說(shuō)實(shí)話,我從來(lái)沒有聽見過(guò)洗衣服的聲音。也許是因?yàn)槲宜煤苌畎伞?/p>

托德:這很酷。我和你正相反。我主要教大學(xué)生。
Phil: Oh, OK, yeah. Junior high school students are really good but, quite often they like to sleep in the lesson. Maybe, I'm just a boring teacher. I don't know.
菲爾:哦,好。初中生很好,不過(guò)他們經(jīng)常在課堂上睡覺??赡苁且?yàn)槲业恼n很無(wú)聊吧。我也不知道原因。
Todd: Nah, nah. I think it's just cause when they're young kids. Yeah, the university kids are nice, but I think you have a lot more holidays though.
托德:我覺得不是。我認(rèn)為是因?yàn)樗麄冞€是孩子。大學(xué)生很不錯(cuò),你的假期應(yīng)該更多吧。
Phil: Yeah, that's true. Recently, I had five weeks summer vacation. I was really lucky.
