Todd: Tini, you are a student, correct?
Tini: Yeah, I am a student.
Todd: OK, do you like to study? Do you like the student life?
Tini: Of course, you know. Actually, I, myself, I like studying although I'm not that much of a bookworm, but, yes, I like studying. I like spending time with my friends, and I just like enjoying my student life.
蒂尼：当然喜欢。其实我很喜欢学习，我并不是书呆子，但我很喜欢学习。我喜欢和朋友们共度时光，我很享受学生生活。
Todd: Now, soon, you are going to graduate, correct?
Tini: Yes, fortunately or unfortunately, yes.
Todd: Well, why would you say fortunately?
Tini: Fortunately, in the sense that, you know, it's about time to get out to the real world and, you know, earn some money, and earn some experience but unfortunately in the sense that all of these precious memories, like you are putting them all behind.
蒂尼：幸运是因为我能出去看看真实的世界，挣钱，获得经验，不幸是因为要放下这些珍贵的记忆。
Todd: Yeah, soon they are going to be over.
Tini: Right, right, and then you have more responsibility as soon as you step into the real world, you know. No more spring vacation. No more summer vacation.
蒂尼：对，一旦进入现实生活，就要承担更多的责任。就再也没有春假和暑假了。
Todd: Actually, that's why I'm a teacher. People always ask me, why are you a teacher? And I say, because the time off. You get so much time off, and you don't have to work a 9-5 schedule.
托德：所以我才选择当老师。经常有人问我为什么当老师?我的回答是，因为有假期。老师有很多假期，不用过朝九晚五的生活。
Tini: Yes, that is a very smart choice, I think.
Todd: Yeah, but you make no money.
Todd: You think teachers make good money?
Tini: Well, not actually, but you know you can be fresher and then forever young.
Todd: Well, I don't know about forever young but it does... you do feel invigorated when you're teacher. I do agree. Well, you know, if you don't want to give up the student life, you can just become a teacher. Would you like to become a teacher?
托德：我不知道是不是能保持年轻，不过当老师的确会感觉很有活力。这点我同意。如果你不想放弃学生生活，你可以当老师。你想做老师吗?
Tini: Well, actually, I have given it a couple of thoughts but right now, I'm really into the banking industry.
Tini: Yeah, the financing industry, and then so probably I might like give it a go.
Todd: That's going to be very stressful.
Tini: It is, but you know, I pretty much like the fast-paced lifestyle, and I'm interested in the content of the work.
蒂尼：的确是，我喜欢快节奏的生活方式，我对银行业的工作内容很感兴趣。
Todd: Well, good-luck with banking.
Tini: Thank you. It's going to be really harsh, I know.
