Sarah: So John, you're an English teacher now. Is that right?

薩拉：約翰，你現(xiàn)在是名英語老師。對吧?

John: Yes. I've been an English teacher for six years now.

約翰：對。我已經(jīng)當(dāng)了六年英語老師。

Sarah: Do you always want to be an English teacher?

薩拉：你想一直當(dāng)英語老師嗎?

John: Well actually, recently, I've been thinking about changing my job.

約翰：其實我最近在考慮換工作。

Sarah: Oh?

薩拉：哦?

John: Yes. I have been studying math and science.

約翰：對。我一直在學(xué)習(xí)數(shù)學(xué)和科學(xué)。

Sarah: Oh.

薩拉：哦。

John: I'm learning a lot more about math these days. I hope in the future I can be a math teacher.

約翰：最近我學(xué)習(xí)了很多數(shù)學(xué)知識。我希望未來我能成為數(shù)學(xué)老師。

Sarah: That sounds interesting.

薩拉：聽起來很有趣。

John: Yes, I think so. I think math is important because if we can understand math, we learn new ways to think about problems.

約翰：對，我想是的。我認(rèn)為數(shù)學(xué)很重要，因為如果我們可以理解數(shù)學(xué)，我們可以學(xué)習(xí)到考慮問題的新方法。

Sarah: What age student do you want to teach math to?

薩拉：就教數(shù)學(xué)來說，你想教多大年齡的孩子?

John: I think I would enjoy teaching junior high school students.

約翰：我想我喜歡教初中學(xué)生。

Sarah: So you said you're studying math now.

薩拉：你說過你現(xiàn)在在學(xué)習(xí)數(shù)學(xué)。

John: That's right.

約翰：沒錯。

Sarah: How do you do it? Do you study online?

薩拉：你怎么學(xué)習(xí)?你是在網(wǎng)上學(xué)習(xí)嗎?

John: That's exactly right. I study online from various websites and these websites connect you to free online courses from real universities around the world.

約翰：完全正確。我在不同的網(wǎng)站上在線學(xué)習(xí)，這些網(wǎng)站提供世界各地大學(xué)的免費在線課程。

Sarah: Oh wow.

薩拉：哇哦。

John: Yeah. So I signed up for a free algebra class from a university in the United States.

約翰：對。所以我報了美國一所大學(xué)的代數(shù)課程。

Sarah: Will you get a degree when you finish?

薩拉：你在學(xué)完之后會拿到證書嗎?

John: Well you can. For every course you finish you can get a certificate that says you passed this course. And if you sign up for a series of courses, you can get a certification in a field like math or science.

約翰：可以。每完成一門課程，都可以得到一個證書，證明你通過了這個課程。如果你報系列課程，你可以得到數(shù)學(xué)或科學(xué)領(lǐng)域的證書。

Sarah: Oh really? And it's all online?

薩拉：真的嗎?都在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上學(xué)習(xí)?

John: Yeah. And it's not only math or science, you can choose any field you want. I've been thinking of studying Spanish language there and you can study computer programming or history or law.

約翰：對。不只是數(shù)學(xué)和科學(xué)，你可以選擇任何你感興趣的領(lǐng)域。我一直想在網(wǎng)上學(xué)西班牙語，你還可以學(xué)習(xí)計算機編程、歷史或法律。

Sarah: Oh, interesting. Maybe I'll try it.

薩拉：哦，有意思。也許我可以試試。

John: You should. They have different types of classes. You can study by yourself by watching videos or you can even have an interactive class with a real teacher and you can meet through video chat.

約翰：你應(yīng)該試下。他們有各類課程。你可以通過觀看視頻自學(xué)，甚至還可以參加真人老師教授的交互式課程，你們可以視頻聊天。

Sarah: Wow. Hey, thank you.

薩拉：哇哦。謝謝你。

John: Yeah, you should try this opportunity.

約翰：嗯，你應(yīng)該試試這個機會。

Sarah: I will.

薩拉：我會的。
