米基:大家好,我是米基。
Geaw: My name is Geaw from Thailand.
高:我是高,來自泰國。
Miki: Oh, right.
米基:好。
Geaw: And you're from?
高:你來自哪里?
Miki: Nigeria.
米基:尼日利亞。
Geaw: Yep. Well the question is about should college education be free? What do you think?
高:好。我們要討論的話題是,大學應該實行義務教育嗎?你怎么看?
Miki: I think college education should be free, as free as possible for everybody.
米基:我認為大學應該實行義務教育,盡可能對所有學生免費。
Geaw: Why?
高:為什么?
Miki: Because if it's free you have more people going to college and getting this education so as such if you empower the youth you empower the nation.
米基:因為如果大學教育免費,那就會有更多的人進入大學,獲得大學教育,可以說,少年強則國家強。
Geaw: I see. Well I personally think that it should be free but with condition.
高:我明白了。我個人認為大學教育應該免費,但是要有前提條件。
Miki: What kind of condition?
米基:什么條件?
Geaw: If it is free and you can either get in or get out whenever you want then I think maybe some people would just love the motivation into, because when you go to college and you have to pay for it and you are willing to pay to go to college, it gives you your part into society, right?
高:如果大學教育免費,而且可以隨時入學或退學,我覺得不太好,可能有些人喜歡激勵機制,因為你上大學要付學費,而且你愿意為大學教育付學費,那使你接觸到社會生活,對吧?
Miki: Yes.
米基:對。
Geaw: But if you can get in for free then people that don't really want to study can also get in so I think it's a bit unfair for us who really want so I mean but in some condition that we will make the student want to study.
高:但是如果你可以免費上大學,而那些不想學習的人也可以進入大學學習,那我認為這對我們這些非常想上大學的人有些不公平,我的看法是,我們要設定前提條件,讓學生想學習。
Miki: Yeah, want to study and pursue. I think we'll have to make it a deferred view for both parties right?
米基:對,想學習而且也努力去學習。我認為我們要想出使雙方都接受的看法,對吧?
Geaw: Yes.
高:對。
