CET-6 Listening Long Conversation: Planning a Semester Abroad

Conversation Two.

對話二。

Hi, Sam. So, you're thinking about a semester abroad?

嗨，Sam。聽說你在考慮出國交換一個學期？

Yes! I've wanted to do this since my first year.

對！我從大一就一直想去。

I'm choosing between Osaka and Vancouver.

我在大阪和溫哥華之間猶豫。

Both great choices. What's making it hard to decide?

兩個都很棒。是什麼讓你難以決定？

Mostly money, to be honest. I'm worried I can't afford it.

老實說，主要是錢。我怕負擔不起。

That's a common worry, but it's usually less than people think.

很多人都有這個顧慮，但實際花費通常比想像中少。

Both are exchange partners, so you'd pay your normal tuition here.

兩所都是交換合作學校，所以你只要在本校照常繳學費。

Really? So I wouldn't pay anything extra to the university there?

真的嗎？那我不用另外付錢給那邊的大學？

Exactly. You'd only need to cover your flights and living costs.

沒錯。你只需要負擔機票和生活費。

And rent in Vancouver is quite a bit higher than in Osaka.

而且溫哥華的房租比大阪貴不少。

Interesting. What about the language? My Japanese is pretty basic.

有意思。那語言呢？我的日文還很基礎。

Osaka offers most courses in English, plus free Japanese classes.

大阪那邊大部分課程都是英文授課，另外還有免費的日文課。

But the most important thing is to check your credits.

不過最重要的是確認學分。

Make sure the courses there count towards your degree here.

一定要確認那邊的課能抵你在這裡的畢業學分。

Oh, I hadn't even thought about that.

噢，這我完全沒想過。

Take the course list to your department head before you decide.

決定之前，先把課程清單拿給系主任看。

There's also a travel grant for exchange students.

另外還有一項給交換學生的旅費補助。

But you'll have to apply before the end of this month.

不過你必須在這個月底以前申請。

I'll start the application tonight! Thanks so much.

我今晚就開始寫申請！非常謝謝妳。

Just promise me one thing. Send me a postcard!

只要答應我一件事：寄張明信片給我！

From Osaka or Vancouver? That's the question!

從大阪寄還是從溫哥華寄？這才是問題！
