情景对话

Todd: So, Nydja, you actually just got into graduate school. So you know all about the application process.
托德：妮迪亚，你刚上研究院jx#O&@P]EPO。那你一定知道申请程序~ZH1vG#]tya04o!。
Nydja: Yes, that's correct. I just got into grad school. I study International Relations. The process for this school wasn't too tedious. It didn't require a GRE or any long essays or too many references. The other schools that I was considering required the tests. High test scores. An application to be submitted three, four months in advance, so the process can be pretty tedious.
妮迪亚：对，没错C3WCJE@(tG。我刚进入研究院%1RO!BKy4~X。我学的专业是国际关系a5p0wY5(gjV)o(。我念的这所学校申请程序并不是太麻烦-)]r](VzF=。不需要GRE分数，也不需要长篇论文，不需要太多的介绍书ce;b3F1iG_,fxB;N059。我之前考虑的另一所学校就对考试分数有要求]0l&s1u*ydMCwwgD%9tR。必须要考高分3Rr)iT-F_n3=Z6rnzL;i。而且要提前三至四个月提交申请，这种申请程序就太麻烦了WD&X72M-x]。
Todd: Now, each time that you applied, did you have to pay an application fee?
托德：那每次申请都要交申请费吗？
Nydja: Yes, some colleges I was looking at upwards of a hundred and fifty dollars. This one was less expensive. It's a smaller school.

Todd: So that limits how many schools you can apply to?
托德：所以这限制了你申请学校的数量吗？
Nydja: Yeah, depending on your funds, so I actually like this program and despite having researched everything else, I chose to stick with this one. I only applied for one and they let me in.
妮迪亚：对，申请数量取决于你的资金，我很喜欢这个项目，虽然我研究了很多，但我选择只申请一所学校J;TLP9T.A!y6y_hr。我只申请了一所学校，而且这所学校录取我了N5bo|3*90HcHB。

妮迪亚：对，没错yc^sBNQ7I.,]v.k。我研究了一下这所大学，他们有国际旅行的计划，我非常喜欢这个计划，而其他学校没有这种计划zaRsFZ0tjp@j]D^TE。

Nydja: No, I did not have to take the GRE. No, I haven't taken it yet.
妮迪亚：对，我不用参加GRE考试Dir|3oE_usbFdFc*B。我还没有考GREva|W2eMXqZX。
Todd: Why?
托德：为什么？
Nydja: Cause, I'm sure it has a math component that I don't want to have to worry about.
妮迪亚：GRE里面有数学题，可是我不想为这个担心mCA3!Tjl2&U|;4uQ0。
Todd: You're not a math person?

妮迪亚：对，我不擅长vFO&9ak%ut_。
Todd: So the GRE is what, just math and language?
托德：GRE考试包括数学考试和语言考试？
Nydja: You know I'm not really sure. I know it's kind of like the SAT. They want to look at how ... what is your potential when you get to grad school, so I think it does have maybe a composition section, you know, critical thinking, math analysis questions with numbers.
妮迪亚：我也不太清楚G&dz[d*H)r[XlvIY。我知道GRE考试和SAT考试类似^fo#&!BE_d2P~GqGb^,[。这类考试的目的是测试你在研究院的潜力，我认为考试里可能有需要进行批判性思考的作文还有数学分析题Zfi;16)LoFKGgixh#。
