24-1 Hi, Jerry! How's college life treatingyou? We miss you at home!
Hi，Jerry大学生活怎么样？我们想念你啊，在家里想念你。
It's going good, I guess. Classes are stilleasy, but they'll probably pick up as the semester goes on
还行，我想。课程呢还很容易，但是呢，也许会增加难度，随着整个的学习的推进的话
You know, if the course is too easy foryou, you can always ask to test out of it. It's not too late to switch yourschedule around, is it?
你知道的，如果这个课程呢太容易了，对你来说的话，你总是能够要求通过考试来免修的，永远的不会太迟来改变你的课程的安排，不是吗？
No, I'm sure it'll be fine. They're justgoing over the basics first so we can all start on the same page. It's onlyfreshman year, you know.
不会的，我想会没问题的，他们呢，就是先来过一下（复习）最基本的一些知识，这样呢我们都可以从同一条起跑线上起步，这还是大一呢，你知道的。
I know, I know. Those classes don't comecheap, though! Best you get your money's worth, is all. Oh, your sister wantsto talk to you now. I'll hand you over to her.
我知道，我知道，这些课程呢可并不便宜啊，最好呢，你钱要花的值得，就这些噢，你的妹妹想跟你说话，就现在，我呢，把电话机交给她了。
Jerry! What's college like? Do you have alot of homework now?
Jerry大学生活怎么样？你现在有没有很多家庭作业呢？
Haha, no, not yet! Ask me again in a couplemonths. How are you liking middle school?
哈哈，现在还没有，再等几个月后再问我吧，你现在喜不喜欢中学呢？
Middle school sucks! Half my friends wentto the other school, and nobody wants to talk to me now.
中学糟透了，我一半的朋友都去到另外一个学校了，没有人现在想和我说话了。
Hey, that's not so bad. Look at me, I wentto school across the country! I didn't know a soul when I got here, but I'mmaking friends already.
嘿，那还不至于那么糟吧，看看我，我去上学得跨越整个国家，我并不认识一个鬼，在我刚刚来这里的时候，但是我现在已经开始交朋友了。

I'm ready to hand back your exams today.Come to the front and tell the teaching assistant your name, and she'll giveyou your paper. Look it over, and raise your hand if you have any questions.Yes, sir?
我准备好了把你们的考试卷子今天还给你们。到前面来，告诉助教你的名字，然后，她会发给你你们的试卷，整体看一下，然后举手，如果你有任何的问题的话，好，这位先生。
Yeah, it says I got number six wrong, butmy answer matches up with what's in the book. I put C.
Yeah.这里说,我第6题错了，但是呢，我答案呢却是和书上写的是一致的，我填的是C
Bring it to me after class. It might be agrading error. Did anybody else get that one wrong? No? All right. Yes, ma'am?
把这个卷子给我，下课后，这也许是一个评分的错误，还有没有别人这道题也批错了，没有好的，是，这位女士？。
I can't quite make out what this commentsays on the written section.
我确实看不清楚这里的评论说的是什么，在书面题这个部分（主观题部分）。
That'll be my chicken scratch. It says,"Your thesis is solid, but argumentation structure is haphazard."
这可能是我写的潦草字啊，这里写到，你的观点是扎实的，但是论证的结构是很仓促随意。
Oh. I see. That explains the grade.
噢，我明白了，那就解释了这个分数的问题。
24-3
I'm thinking of taking Currents in ModernPhilosophy next semester.
我考虑选修现代哲学思潮这门课，在下个学期学。
Whatever you do, don't take the one taughtby Miller. Trust me.
不管你选修什么课程，不要选修Miller教的课程，相信我。
Why? A lot of writing?
为什么？要写很多作文吗？
No, he took roll every class and madeeveryone give a presentation, like, every other week. Participation made uplike 80% of the final grade. I thought it'd be a cakewalk, just reading someold books and writing a couple papers, but he went really hardcore. I do notrecommend it.
不，他每节课都点名，让每个人都做报告，像每隔两个星期吧，课程参与占最终等级的80%，我原来想这是很简单的课程（小菜一碟），就是读一些旧书和写几篇论文而已，但是他确实是很硬核的，我不推荐他的课。
Isn't that a better way to grasp thematerial, though? I mean, how bad could it be?
难道这不是更好的方法掌握材料的内容吗？我的意思是说，这能有多糟呢。
It's your funeral, man. I almost failedthat class.
这是你的葬礼，朋友，我几乎废了那门课（我差点挂了那门课）。
I dunno, I always like having activeclasses like that... We get to bounce ideas off of each other and challenge ourown perspectives!
我不知道，我总是喜欢活跃的课堂，就像那样的，我们可以有观点的互相碰撞，挑战各自的观点。
You're such a philosophy major. I justwanted to get through it.
嗯，你真的不愧是哲学专业的学生啊，我其实就是想过了就行（得过且过）。
To each their own, I guess.
萝卜青菜各有所爱，我猜。
