Molly : Hey, how is it going?

　　Gordon: Not bad.

　　Molly : I heard that you got into college. You must be very excited.

　　Gordon: It's no big deal. I am an American student going to college. It is much easier to go to college in the U.S. than in China.

　　Molly : You mean it's not the same as China?

　　Gordon: That's right. The pressure on American high school kids is less than the pressure on Chinese high school kids.

　　Molly : Do you still have to take a test?

　　Gordon: Yes, we must take an entrance exam, but it is much easier than the Chinese one. We usually only need to study for a few weeks.

　　Molly : Wow, that's completely different from China!

　　Gordon: Yep, getting into college is a breeze. The real problem is getting into a good college.

　　莫莉：嘿，你好吗？

　　戈登：还不赖。

　　莫莉：我听说你要去上大学了。你肯定很兴奋吧。

　　戈登：小事一桩。我是准备去上大学的美国学生。在美国上大学比中国容易多了。

　　莫莉：你是说情况跟中国不一样，是吗？

　　戈登：对，在美国高中生的压力比中国要轻得多。

　　莫莉：你们上大学要参加高考吗？

　　戈登：是的，我们要参加升学考试，但比中国的高考容易多了。一般来说，我们只需要复习几个星期就可以了。

　　莫莉：哇，跟中国比起来简直是天壤之别！

　　戈登：是啊，在美国上大学只需吹灰之力。但要想上好大学可就难了。

　　Dialogue 2

　　Molly: What's up?

　　Gordon: Same old, same old. How about you?

　　Molly: I'm A-Ok. I heard that you are applying to college. Is that right?

　　Gordon: That's right, but I still haven't got any admissions letters.

　　Molly: Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get in somewhere.

　　Gordon: I'm not worried about getting in, I'm worried about being able to pay.

　　Molly: That's right. College is very expensive in the U.S. Maybe, you should get a loan.

　　Gordon: I reckon that is a good idea. I will have to get a loan and pay it back after I graduate from college.

　　Molly: Wow, college is different in the U.S. Please tell me more about it.

　　莫莉：你还好吗？

　　戈登：老样子，老样子。你呢？

　　莫莉：我还好。我听说你正申请去读大学，是真的吗？

　　戈登：对，但是我还没有收到任何录取通知书。

　　莫莉：别担心，我肯定你总会收到某个学校的录取通知书的。

　　戈登：我倒不是担心录取的问题，我发愁如何支付学费。

　　莫莉：是啊，在美国上大学是很昂贵的。也许，你应该申请学生贷款。

　　戈登：那是一个好主意。我得去申请学生贷款，毕业后再还。

　　莫莉：哇，在美国上大学真的很不一样。请多告诉我有关这方面的知识。
