Carl, how did your driver's theory exam go? It was yesterday, right?
卡尔,你的驾驶理论考试怎么样了?是昨天的事,对吧?
Yes, I prepared as much as I could. But I was so nervous since it was my second trial. The people who worked at the test center were very kind though.
是的,我已经准备好了。但我很紧张,因为这是我的第二次考试。不过,在考场工作的人都很友善。
We had a little conversation which calmed me down a bit, and that was just what I needed.
我们聊了一会儿,我平静下来,这正是我所需要的。
Then, after the exam, they printed out my result. But I was afraid to open it until I was outside. It was such a relief to pass.
考试后,他们把我的成绩打印出来。但我害怕看到成绩单后显示没及格。通过比赛真是让人松了一口气。
Congratulations! I knew you could do it. I guess you underestimated how difficult it would be the first time, didn't you?
恭喜你通过考试!我就知道你能行。我猜你低估了第一次的难度,不是吗?
I hear a lot of people make that mistake and go in underprepared. But good job in passing the second time. I'm so proud of you.
我听说很多人因为准备不足都犯了那个错误。但第二次考试的话都做得很好。我真为你感到骄傲。
Now, all you have to do next is your road test. Have you had any lessons yet?
现在,你接下来要做的就是路考。你上过什么课吗?
Yes, thanks. I'm so happy to be actually on the road now.
好的,谢谢。实际上现在已经在路考学习了,我非常开心。
I've only had two driving lessons so far, and my instructor is very understanding.
到目前为止,我只上过两节驾驶课,我的教练很善解人意。
So, I'm really enjoying it and I can't wait for my next session. Although the lessons are rather expensive.
所以,我真的很享受学习的过程,尽管课程相当昂贵,但对于下一个学习安排,我都迫不及待了。
20 pounds an hour, and the instructor says I'll need above 30—40 lessons in total, that's what? 6—8 hundred pounds.
每小时20英镑,教练说我总共需要30到40节以上的课,那是多少钱?六到八百英镑。
So, this time, I'll need to make a lot more effort, and hopefully, it'll be successful the first time.
所以,这一次,我需要付出更多的努力,希望可以一次性通过考试。
Well, good luck.
好吧,祝你好运。
