歡迎來到《大學英語》欄目，這個節目會教給你一些在初為大學新生時會用到的一些單詞和短語。
We're going to follow new student Mary, who's about to begin her first year of study abroad - at The University of Studies – that's the UK's thirty-second best university.
She's been offered a place to study for a degree in Business.
我們在節目中會隨著大一新生瑪麗一起學習，她馬上就要開始自己在國外的第一年學生生活，她就讀於「學習」大學，那可是英國排名第32位的大學。
她在那裡學習商科。
It's a great opportunity for her but her mum and dad are sad to see her go…
Mum: … and she's flying to London today… London in the UK… yes, she's done very well.
這對於她來說是一個很棒的機會，但她的爸爸媽媽卻因為她的離開而有些傷感…………
她今天就要坐飛機去倫敦了…… 倫敦是在英國…… 沒錯，她做得很不錯。
I'm so proud of her but… but I'm worried she's not going to eat properly and she might get in with the wrong crowd and…
Dad: Your mother is so emotional.
我為她感到自豪，但是我擔心她不會按時吃飯，也擔心她會結識壞朋友，還有……
你媽媽真是有些太情緒化了。
It's the opportunity of a lifetime for you Mary.
Make the most of it – forget about us, we'll be fine.
瑪麗，這次對你來說是一生一次的好機會。
好好利用它，不用管我們，我們沒事的。
Mary: Forget about who? !
Dad: Ha ha. Now have you packed everything? Clothes, books, toothbrush. . .
不管誰？！
哈哈，你東西已經打包好了嗎？衣服、書、牙刷……
Mum: Sorry about that. That was your Grandma on the phone – she says good luck and send her a postcard from Paris.
不好意思。剛才是你外婆打電話，她說祝你好運，到了巴黎要給她寄明信片。
I think she meant London.
She also said 'Don't do anything I wouldn't do! '
我估計她是想說倫敦的。
她還說：「不要做那些我不會做的事！」
Mary: What? Mum: It's a joke.
什麼意思？那是句玩笑話。
She learnt it from her English friends.
It means 'Have a good time and don't get into trouble'.
她從她英國朋友那學來的。
意思是「好好享受，保重好不要惹上麻煩」。
Now have you packed everything?
Passport, student visa, your acceptance letter from the university and your new laptop – you can use that to video-time us.
現在東西都打包好了嗎？
護照，留學籤證，大學來的錄取通知，還有你的新筆記本電腦，你可以用電腦跟我們視頻。
Dad: Good idea – very sensible.
Have you got your credit card and cash?
好主意，很合理。
你拿好自己的信用卡和現金了嗎？
Mary: Yes Dad! Mum: Ah, that sounds like your taxi.
Well… bye bye darling.
拿好了，爸爸。
聽起來的你計程車到了。那……再見了親愛的！
Safe journey! Have a good trip and keep in touch.
Mary: I'll call as soon as I land in Paris… I mean London!
一路平安！旅途愉快，記得保持聯繫。
我一到巴黎就會給你們打電話的……啊我的意思是到倫敦！
. . . . . . It can be scary leaving home for the first time, but Mary seems quite cool and calm about it, even though her mum's getting a bit mushy – she's getting quite sad and emotional.
第一次離開家確實會有點兒嚇人，但瑪麗似乎非常冷靜和淡然，儘管她媽媽有點兒感傷 —— 她很傷感又情緒化。
瑪麗正在和家人告別，我們利用這個時間來學習一下當有人首次離家遠行，你可以拿來鼓勵他們的話。
While Mary says her final goodbyes, let's go over the words of encouragement you can give to someone who's leaving home for the first time…
I'm proud of you.It's the opportunity of a lifetime.
我為你感到自豪。
這是一生一次的機遇。
