CET-6 Listening Long Conversation: Planning a Semester Abroad

Conversation Two.

对话二。

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

你好，Sam。听说你在考虑出国交换一个学期？

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

是的！我从大一就想去了。

I'm choosing between Osaka and Vancouver.

我在大阪和温哥华之间选。

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

两个都很好。是什么让你难以决定呢？

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

说实话，主要是钱的问题。我担心负担不起。

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

很多人都有这个顾虑，但实际花费通常比想象的少。

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

这两所都是交换合作院校，所以你只需在本校照常交学费。

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

真的吗？那我不用再给那边的大学交额外的钱？

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

没错。你只需要负担机票和生活费。

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

而且温哥华的房租比大阪高不少。

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

有意思。那语言呢？我的日语还很初级。

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

大阪那边大部分课程都用英语授课，还有免费的日语课。

But the most important thing is to check your credits.

不过最重要的是确认学分。

Make sure the courses there count towards your degree here.

一定要确保那边的课程能算进你在这里的学位。

Oh, I hadn't even thought about that.

哦，这我还真没想过。

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

做决定之前，把课程清单拿给你们系主任看看。

There's also a travel grant for exchange students.

另外还有一项针对交换生的旅行补助。

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

不过你得在这个月底之前申请。

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

我今晚就开始准备申请！太感谢了。

Just promise me one thing. Send me a postcard!

只要答应我一件事。给我寄张明信片！

From Osaka or Vancouver? That's the question!

从大阪寄还是从温哥华寄？这才是问题！
