宿舍情景對話

　　下面是學習啦小編整理的宿舍情景對話，歡迎大家閱讀!

　　Todd: Miki, when you were in college where did you live?

　　托德：美琪，你上大學的時候住在哪里?

　　Miki: My first year I lived in the dormitory that was quite close to the campus. It was about a five minute walks so it was very convenient but I'm not sure that that many people actually enjoyed living in the dormitory because there were so many of us packed into such a small space that one did not get a sense of privacy at all. I shared a room with two other girls and 24 hours a day there was always someone near you, next door, down the hall if not in your own room, and a very small space. In Japan perhaps this wouldn't have been such a large problem because the sense of personal space and privacy perhaps isn't as strong growing up, but really in the United States if you grow up with you own room, if you grow up with your own sense of self and if, you know, you have personal space that you define just instinctively which, you know, maybe three feet in front of you, a meter, or if you have your own personal room itself, it's very difficult to move from that sort of sense of individuality and personal private space, to move into the dorms, and to have to share, all of that, and then always have a smile on your face, if you don't want to be considered a bitch.

　　美琪：我大一的時候住在宿舍里，離校園非常近。步行5分鐘就可以到學校，非常方便，但是我不確定是不是大部分人都喜歡住在宿舍里，因為我們太多人住在一個小地方，實際上完全沒有隱私。我和另外兩個女孩住在一個宿舍里，一天24個小時你附近都有人，如果你不在自己的房間里，那你的隔壁和樓下大廳也全是人，地方非常小。這在日本可能不是大問題，因為日本人在成長過程中的個人空間感和隱私感可能并不那么強烈，但是實際上在美國，如果你成長的階段擁有自己的空間，如果你成長的階段有自我感覺，如果你有個人空間，那你就會本能地認為距離你三英尺或是一米的距離就是你的個人空間，如果你擁有自己的個人空間，那從那個個人感和私人空間離開，然后搬進宿舍，和他人共享空間非常難，如果你不想被看成是討厭的人那你的臉上就要一直掛著笑容。

　　Todd: Yeah, so what about food? What did you eat for food? Did you have a kitchen? Did you cook?

　　托德：那食物怎么樣?你吃什么?宿舍里有廚房嗎?你做飯嗎?

　　Miki: In the dormitories, no! We had a dining hall. I don't quite remember what it was called, but it was a common area where everyone went downstairs at the same time. It was only open, three hours in the morning, 3 hours in the evening, and we all shared our time together, kind of like a family, I suppose, and we must have eaten just normal American food. I don't remember.

　　美琪：在宿舍里不做!我們有餐廳。我不太記得那具體叫什么，不過就是一個公共區域，所有人都同時去樓下用餐。那里只在上午開放三個小時，晚上開放三個小時，我們會一起共度時光，像一家人一樣，我們吃的一定是普通的美國食物。我不記得了。

　　Todd: Yeah! Yeah! How about your laundry? How would you wash your clothes?

　　托德：好吧!那怎么洗衣服?你是怎么洗衣服的?

　　Miki: That I forget! I think we had laundry machines every other floor in the dorm building. But I actually don't remember. Sorry!

　　美琪：我忘了!我想宿舍樓每層都有洗衣機。不過實際上我真的不記得了。對不起!

　　Todd: And what would students do for fun? for socializing?

　　托德：那學生的娛樂活動都有什么呢?社交活動?

　　Miki: Oh, I think the bigger question is whether students did anything besides socialize, you know, right, I mean, if you're a freshman the chances of you actually doing work are actually quite small, especially in that sort of a social setting where,

　　美琪：我想更大的問題是學生們除了社交活動還有什么活動，你知道，我的意思是，如果你是大一新生，那你實際上學習的機會非常小，尤其是在那些社交場合……

　　Todd: Even at Beckley?

　　托德：伯克利大學也是嗎?

　　Miki: Oh, are you kidding me? Yes! Berkley is highly competitive but it's also highly, it's a highly social atmosphere, especially in the dorms, well, and then once you move into a communal area, if you're there with your friend, then I don't think a whole lot of studying goes on.

　　美琪：你在跟我開玩笑嗎?沒錯，伯克利分校競爭非常激烈，但是那里的社交氛圍也很強，尤其是在宿舍里，一旦你進入公共區域，如果你和朋友一起，我認為你們不會一起進行很多研究工作。

　　Todd: Wow! That's funny! Oh, thanks!

　　托德：哇!那真有趣!謝謝你!

　　Miki: Surely!

　　美琪：不客氣!
