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
★ loving 慈爱的
★ personal qualities 个人特质(由于经常包含多个面向,常用复数)
★ Disneyland (n.) 迪斯尼乐园。Minnie Mouse (n.) 米妮老鼠,迪斯尼卡通角色,是米老鼠的女朋友 [NextPage]
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。
重点解说: ★ focus (n.) 中心,重点
★ hospitality (n.) 招待。hospitable (a.) 招待周到的,好客的
★ prestigious (a.) 有声望的
★ ranking (n.) 地位,排名 ★ statement of purpose 读书计划。这是一般的说法,但实际撰写内容其实是研究动机
★ responsibility (n.) 责任,义务(考试大外语编辑整理)
