DIALOGUE 45

I Intend to Go to University

1--You've just left school, haven't you, Sheila?
2--Yes, I finished last Friday.
1--You sound relieved.
2--Well, yes. I don't mind admitting that I am. I
enjoyed school. But I did object to having to go
in every day once we've done all our exams.
1--Well, what are you going to do now? Have you
made any plans?
2--Yes, I intend to go to university. That will be
in September. But it all depends on my A level
results.
1--You mean getting into university actually depends
on your passing your A level subjects, does it?
2--Oh, yes.

===================================
注解：

1）sound relieved是系表结构。sound与you look
happy一句中的look一样起系动词的作用。relieved是
过去分词作表语。
2）object to：反对，不赞成。
3）depend on：依靠；取决于。
4）A level=Advanced level

===================================
译文：

1--你刚离开学校，是吗，希拉？
2--是的，上星期五我刚毕业。
1--你听起来轻松多了。
2--是的，我不在乎说我轻松了。我乐意上学，但是我
确实不赞成考完试了还得去上学。
1--那么，现在你打算干什么？你有什么计划吗？
2--是的，我打算上大学。那是9月份的事。但是那
要看我的A级考试成绩如何了。
1--你是说，上大学实际上要看你A级考试科目的成绩，
是这样吗？
2--噢，是的。
