　　Ian: Yes, but I think staying on campus is better at first, even though it may be a little more expensive. You'll find your way around and won't need to get a car.
　　Candy: But I want to drive! How long would I need to stay on campus?
　　Ian: This contract says one year. You can pay it all up front, or in monthly installments. You can always move out early, but there would be a financial penalty.
　　(续上期，下期续)
　　伊恩：对，但我认为你先住校园里比较好，尽管有可能会贵了点。你会认识那里的环境，而且不需要去弄一部车来。
　　凯蒂：但是我想要开车！我需要在校园里待多久？
　　伊恩：这个合约写一年。你可以先付清，或是按月分期。你随时都能提早搬出去，但会有罚金要付。
　　重点解说：
　　★ contract (n.) 合约书
　　★ up front 事先
　　★ installment (n.) 分期付款
　　★ financial penalty (n.) 罚款[NextPage]

　　Candy: Wherever I go, I want to live off-campus. Dormitories are so scary.
　　Ian: They're much nicer in the States. [reads materials] You have a choice between an international students’ dormitory or an on-campus apartment.
　　Candy: But is it mandatory to live on campus? I don't want roommates.
　　Ian: It's not mandatory, no. But you can probably get a single since you're a grad student.
　　Candy: I could also go stay in a hotel first and then find a place, right?
　　(续上期，下期续)
　　凯蒂：无论我去哪，我都要住在校外。宿舍很可怕耶。
　　伊恩：在美国的学生宿舍好多了。（读数据）你可以二选一，国际学生宿舍或是校内公寓。
　　凯蒂：但是住在校园里是强制的吗？我不要有室友。
　　伊恩：这没有一定的，没有。但既然你是研究所学生，你也许可以有单人房。
　　凯蒂：我也可以先在旅馆待一阵子再找地方，对吧？
　　重点解说：
　　★ off-campus (adv.) 校外的 on-campus是‘校内的’
　　★ dormitory (n.) 学生宿舍
　　★ mandatory (a.) 强制的
　　★ single (n.) 单人房
　　★ grad student (n.) 研究生，为graduate student的简称
