留學小短篇  

Class Registration「選課」登場!!

留學重要指數:100%

在選課之前,對學校及系裡所開的課程和要求都需充分了解。有些課程的選擇彈性較大,除在秋季班開授之外,在春季、夏季亦排課講授﹔而有些課程可能是一學年只開一次或兩次,對於這些選擇彈性較小的課程,如是必修的,就必須把握時機,以免影響修業年限。註冊的過程,最好也能事先向學長請教,要不然就是寫MAIL問該科系的辦公室,才可以拿到最正確的資料喔。

戀愛小短篇  

Sincere apology : 誠心的道歉!

意亂情迷指數:★★★

情侶間的爭吵,從好的地方來看,只要能避免淪為傷害對方的惡意攻擊,吵架倒是不失為讓戀人更加了解彼此的一種方法。在心平氣和後,適時的誠心道歉對撫平裂痕非常重要。

來聽老美怎麼說?

Travis:Listen, Ann. I'm sorry.
(聽著,安,對不起。)
Ann:I'm not talking to you.
(我不要跟你說話。)
Travis:All right, but just let me say it: I was a total ass.
(崔維斯 好,那就讓我說:我是個大渾球。)
Ann:You can say that again.
(你說的真對。)
Travis:Well, at least you're talking to me. Maybe I should keep on with the self-abuse: I'm an idiot and my feet smell bad.
(嗯,至少妳跟我說話了。也許我應該繼續自責下去:我是個白癡,而且我的腳很臭。)
Ann:That's supposed to be a sincere apology ? You're still making jokes after you said those mean thing to me..
