A week later, Candy comes back with coffee and a six-pack
　　Candy: I've spent all week working on this! [hands papers and beer to Ian]
　　Ian: [Opens a bottle and starts reading] “My name is Candy. I have two loving parents, a brother named Yong, and a cat named Mouse.”
　　Candy: Keep reading! I start talking about my personal qualities in the next part.
　　Ian: “I am a happy person who loves to travel. Disneyland is my dream home.” And Minnie Mouse is my dream girlfriend! No, no, no. I don't think this will work.
　　Candy: Well, why don't you write it yourself then?

　　一星期后，凯蒂拿着咖啡和六罐装的啤酒回来
　　凯蒂：我花了整整一星期在这上头。（把读书计划和啤酒拿给伊恩）
　　伊恩：（打开一瓶并开始读） ‘我叫做凯蒂。我有两位慈祥的双亲，一个叫永的弟弟和一只叫老鼠的猫。’
　　凯蒂：继续念！我下面一段开始要讲个人特质了。
　　伊恩：‘我喜欢旅行，是个快乐的人。迪斯尼乐园是我向往的家。’米妮还是我的梦中情人咧！不，不，不！我觉得这样行不通。
　　凯蒂：喔，那你怎么不自己写写看？
　　重点解说：
　　★ six-pack (n.) 六瓶（罐）装的饮料或啤酒

　　Candy: I guess so.... So what kind of program should I apply to?
　　Ian: Probably something with a focus on hospitality management. You seem like a...hospitable person. What was your GMAT score?
　　Candy: Four hundred. Maybe I shouldn't apply to a prestigious school?
　　Ian: Don't pay too much attention to rankings. Find a program that matches your goals.
　　Candy: OK. So you'll help me write my statement of purpose?
　　Ian: No, that's your responsibility. I'll look at it with you, though.

　　凯蒂：我猜是吧……所以我应该申请哪种课程呢？
　　伊恩：大概是着重在接待管理的课程吧。你似乎是个……挺好客的人。你的GMAT考几分呢？
　　凯蒂：四百分。也许我不应该申请名校是吧？
　　伊恩：别太在意学校排名。要找符合你目标的课程。
　　凯蒂：好吧。所以你会帮我写读书计划啰？
　　伊恩：不，那是你的责任。但我会和你一起看过一遍。
