On Studying谈论学习
Pool: You seem to be doing all right, Meng.
波尔：孟，你看上去进展不错。
Meng: I am, but l still have to do a lot of reading.
孟：是的，不过我得读很多书。
Pool: There's a lot of reading. but I think that's pretty normal for postgraduate work. I imagine a big part of the problem is that it's all in your second language.
波尔：阅读量是很大，不过我觉得这对研究生的功课来说是正常的。我想你的问题大部分在于你得用外语来阅读。
Meng: I suppose I'll just have to leam to read faster.
孟：看来我得想办法提高阅读速度了。
Pool: How about the seminars? Can you follow the discussions?
波尔：那讨论课怎么样啊？你能理解大家的讨论吗？
Meng: Well. I can usually follow what the others say, but I'm not used to being in a seminar and I never know what to say.
孟：嗯，一般别人的发言我都能听懂，不过我不太习惯参加讨论课，我不知道该说什么。
Pool: Don't be shy, speak out. Seminars are very important in postgraduate work. As I see it, most of the benefit of the seminars comes from the exchange of ideas.
波尔：不要害羞嘛，大胆地说出来。讨论课在研究生的功课中是很重要的。在我看来，讨论课最大的好处来自于思想的交流。
Meng: Yes. I'm beginning to agree with you. I've gained some very valuable insights from the others in my class.
孟：对，我开始同意你的看法了。我从班上其他人那里长了不少有用的见识呢。
Pool: But you should share your insights with us. I'm sure you have a lot to offer, just as the others do.
波尔：但你也应该让大家分享一下你的见解呀。我敢肯定你和别人一样，也有很多好的见解要讲呢。
