Hi, John!
嗨！约翰，你好！
Haven't seen you for ages!
好久没见你了！
Hi, Susan!
嗨，苏珊！
Fancy meeting you here on the train!
真想不到在火车上遇到你！
How is your college life?
你的大学生活怎么样？
What can I say?
我能说什么？
I've survived.
我活下来了。
What happened?
发生了什么？
Well, early last March I started doing a part-time job in a law firm.
去年三月初，我开始在一家律师事务所做兼职工作。
A few weeks before I had started writing my term paper.
就在我开始写学期论文的几周前。
I thought I could finish it by August.
我原以为我能在八月前完成。
That was a pretty good idea trying to have some work experience.
试着积累工作经验是个不错的主意。
For the first three weeks, you know, I tried.
在前三周，你知道，我试过了。
I got up early and worked for an hour on my paper before going to work.
我起得很早，在上班前花了一个小时写论文。
But work was so fun, I met tons of new people and soon I couldn't find even a minute for my paper.
但工作是如此有趣，我遇到了大量的新朋友，很快我甚至找不到一分钟来写我的论文。
So, I had to quit my part-time job and finally finished my paper in October.
因此，我不得不辞去兼职工作，终于在10月份完成了论文。
Well, it's never too late to mend.
亡羊补牢永远不会太晚。
It's kind of hard to find a balance between what you have to do and what you want to do.
很难在你必须做的事情和你想做的事情之间找到平衡。
Yeah, it's really important for me to balance study and work.
是的，平衡学习和工作对我来说真的很重要。
And I think I should learn to exercise some self-control.
我想我应该学会自我控制。
