Conversation Two
长对话二
So tell me, why do you wish to study medicine?
告诉我,你为什么想学医?
I've always wanted to be a doctor. I come from a small town where healthcare was never the best. And I think that had a profound effect on me.
我一直想成为一名医生。我来自一个小镇,那里的医疗一直都不是最好的。我认为这对我有深远的影响。
As a child, I remember thinking how great it would be to serve the community and cure people!
当我还是个孩子的时候,我记得我就在想,为社区服务并治愈病人该有多好!
What other people or events in your life have shaped your interest in becoming a doctor?
你生活中的其他什么人或事使你对成为一名医生产生了兴趣?
Well, that's hard to say. I would certainly say my parents have been a key factor. They always pushed me to study hard.
嗯,这很难说。我当然会说我的父母是一个关键因素。他们总是督促我努力学习。
And I certainly wouldn't be here without their support. I guess I was also immensely fortunate to have good teachers and friends around me.
如果没有他们的支持,我肯定不会站在这里。我想我也非常幸运,身边有好老师和好朋友。
At the end of the day, I've always been surrounded by a positive environment conducive to my working hard and pursuing my dreams.
在一天结束的时候,我总是被一个积极的环境所包围,这有利于我努力工作和追求梦想。
Is there any medical branch that you would like to specialize in?

I haven't decided yet. It's still early days. However, if I had to say, internal medicine.
我还没决定。现在还为时尚早。但是,如果我不得不说一个的话,那我选内科。
Why internal medicine?
为什么是内科?
I know it's no picnic. But I find it the most intriguing, because it covers so much and ties together so many other specialties.
我知道内科并不容易。但我觉得它是最有趣的,因为它涵盖了非常多的内容,并将许多其他专业联系在了一起。

I'm looking at your school grades now and I'll be honest. It's a bit of a mixed bag.

You do get top grades here and there, but you are not very... Shall we say "consistent"?
你的成绩有时是最好的,但你不是很...我们可以说“稳定”吗?
I see no problem in making you a conditional offer, but consider yourself warned, our entrance exam is, to use your own words, no picnic.
我觉得给你一个有条件的offer没问题,但我也要提醒你,我们的入学考试,用你自己的话来说,可不容易。
