Chinese Conversation – lesson 338

山姆:我考试时也会紧张。
安:但是你考得那么好。你甚至连公务人员考试都考上了。
山姆:你也考得不错啊。你的随堂测验一向都考高分。
安:随堂测验比考试的压力来得小。
山姆:而且你一直是团体活动的领袖。
安:只可惜我太老了不能参加新式联招,新式联招会把那些算进去。
山姆:只要放轻松就会考得好。
安:不一定。还记得高中入学考试吧?

Sam: I get nervous during tests, too.
Ann: But you do so well. You even passed the civil service exam.
Sam: You do well, too. You always had top scores on daily quizzes.
Ann: There’s less pressure when taking a quiz than an exam.
Sam: And you were always the leader of group activities.
Ann: Too bad I’m too old for the new exams, where that counts.
Sam: Just relax and you’ll do fine.
Ann: Not necessarily. Remember the high school entrance exams?
