Part A :
And how was your timetable?
你的时间表怎么样?
Was it a very busy year?
今年会很忙吗?
Very, very busy.
非常,非常的忙。
They make you work very hard.
他们会让你学习得很辛苦。
Apart from lectures, we had practical sessions in a lot of subjects.
除了讲座外,我们在很多科目上都有实践课程。
We did these in small groups.
我们以小组的形式做这些。
I had to go and work four hours every week in a community pharmacy.
我不得不每周去一个社区药房工作四个小时。
Actually, I enjoyed this very much--meeting new people all the time.
其实,我很喜欢这个过程——随时都会遇见新的人。
Then in second semester, we had to get experience in hospital dispensaries, so every second day we went to one of the big hospitals and worked there.
然后在第二学期时,我们可以去住院药房实习,所以每隔一天我们会去一个大的医院,然后在那里工作。
And on top of all that we had our assignments, which took me a lot of time.
另外我们也有我们的作业,这花费了我很多时间。
Oh, I nearly forgot, between first and second semesters, we had to work full-time for two weeks in a hospital.
哦我几乎忘了,在第一和第二个学期之间,我们不得不在医院里全职工作两周的时间。
That does sound a very heavy year.
这听起来是很劳累的一年。
So are you pleased now that you did it?
所以关于你现在做的这些事情你感到高兴了吗?
Do you feel some sense of achievement?
你是否感到有成就感?
Yeah, I do feel much more confident, which I suppose is the most important thing.
是啊,我觉得自己更有自信了,我想这是最重要的事情。
And have you got any recommendations for people who are studying from overseas?
你对那些在海外学习的人有什么建议吗?
Well, I suppose they need very good English.
嗯,我想他们需要很好的英语。
It would be much better if they spent more time learning English before they enter the university, because you can be in big trouble if you don't understand what people are saying and you haven't got anytime to translate.
如果他们在进入大学之前能花更多的时间学习英语,那就更好了,因为如果你不明白别人在说什么而且你也没有时间去翻译,那你可就有大麻烦了。
Anything else?
还有其他什么吗?
Well, as I said before, the biggest problem for me was a lack of familiarity with the education system here.
就像我之前说过的,对我来说最大的问题是缺乏对教育系统的熟悉程度。
It sounds as if it was a real challenge.
这听起来好像是一个真正的挑战。
Congratulations, Kira.
祝贺你,基拉。
Thanks,Paul.
谢谢,保罗。
