Part A :

What about the 'modular' course?

那么那个“模块化”课程呢?

What would I have to do for that?

我要做什么，如果选那个课程。

That's where you get the opportunity to study full - time for short periods.

那个就是能让你有机会在短时间内学完全日制课程。

That way you can cover a lot of coursework and attend lectures and seminars during the day.

你可以在白天完成掉很多功课，一些讲座课程和研讨会。

And each module lasts for one term, say, about twelve weeks at a time.

每一个模块会持续一个学期，比如大约一次十二个礼拜。

There are obvious advantages in this - the main one being that you can study in a much more intensive way, which suits some people much better.

这种课程有很明显的好处就是你可以以一种更集中的方式学习，这能更好地适合一些人。

And how many of these 'modules' would I have to do to get the diploma?

那么我要上多少“模块”才能拿到毕业文凭呢?

The current programme is two modules - and then you have to choose a topic to work in more depth - but you can base that on your job, and so you don't need to be away from the office, and how long it takes is up to you.

目前的计划是两个模块，然后你必须选择一个更深入研究的话题，但是你可以依据你的工作，这样你就不需要辞掉工作，并且花费的时间也是取决于你的。

The important thing is that you don't have to study and work.

重要的是你不需要一边学习一边工作。

You can focus on one thing at a time.

你可以每次只集中到一件事上。

Yes, I can see that.

是的，我了解了。

It certainly sounds attractive!

这个课程听上去很吸引人!

It would be more expensive, though.

尽管它可能会更贵一些。

I mean, I'd have to support myself without pay for each module.

我意思是，我将不得不在没有薪水的前提下靠自己支付每个模块的费用。

That's true, so that might be a problem for you.

是这样的，所以这对你而言也许也是个麻烦。

Look, why don't you talk this over with your employers and...

你何不和你老板谈一下一个课程……
