  常见英语对话:别担心自己没钱

A: Chris, you look frustrated these days. What’s wrong with you?

A:凯瑟琳,你最近看起来很沮丧,发生什么事了吗?

C: I want to apply for YAle. You know, I have been longing to study at Yale since I came to this senior high school. But my parents are average workers. We manage to make both ends meet every month. So I’m quite worried about the tuition. Maybe I have to give up my dream.

C:我想申请耶鲁。你知道的,我从上高中开始就一直梦想着能去耶鲁大学学习。但 是我父母都是普通工人,我们每月勉强收支平衡。所以我很发愁我的学费,也许 我不得不放弃我的梦想了。

A: Don’t worry. Money is not a problem. At Yale there is a rich diversity of financial aid available. As far as I know, when admitting students, Yale disregards whether a student has the financial ability to support his/her study here, what she really values is whether the prospective student is competent enough to be enrolled to Yale. In my opinion, your excellent performance both in class and after class will catch their attention. So the only thing left for you is to apply for an award.

A:别担心。钱不是问题。耶鲁会为学生提供种类丰富的经济资助。据我所知,耶鲁 在录取学生的时候从不关心学生是否能够负担的了在此学习的费用。她真正看重 的是_个学生的能力是否符含耶鲁的标准。我觉得你在学习和课外活动方面的表 现都非常出色,所以眼下你惟一该做的事就是向耶鲁递交奖学金申请。

C: Yeah. I was too deeply immersed in frustration and almost forgot that I can apply for an award. You words do remind me. Then what should I prepare for such an application?

C:是啊。我一直深陷于沮丧的情绪中,差点忘了还可以申请奖学金呢!你的话倒是 提醒了我。接下来我该如何为申请做准备呢?

A: You should write an aid application. It ought to specify the expected family contribution which includes your parents,total income, parents,assets such as cash, savings and investments, the family size and number of children attending college or private school, your own contribution which consists of a contribution from a student’s own assets, if appropriate, along with a student income contribution from summer earnings and a student’s self-help by a term-time job.

A:你要写一份经济资肋申请。这个申请中要详述你的预期家庭贡献:包括父母的全 部收入、诸如现金、积蓄及投资等的家庭财产、家庭人□及当前正在读大学或是 私立学校的孩子人数、包括你自己的资产或是暑假兼职所得在内的个人可贡献额 以及通过兼职你可能得到的收入。

C: So complicated. But I think it deserves my time and effort.

C:这么复杂啊!但是为了去耶鲁读书,我觉得很有必要花费些时间和心血。

A: Yes. Yale offers the need-based financial aid to her applicants and determines financial need by subtracting a family contribution from the cost of attendance, which includes tuition, room, board,books, personal expenses and travel. In addition to the tuition, you will receive a bill for room and board from Yale, as well as the estimated allowances for non-billed expenditures such as books, supplies, travel, and personal expenses which are standard amounts. In a word, once admitted, Yale meets 100% of demonstrated financial need.

A:是的。耶鲁向其申请者提供的是以需求为基础的经济资助。她所提供的经济资助 的计算方法是从学业所需支出中减去家庭预期贡献。学业所需支出包括学费、住宿 费、伙食费、书费、个人花销及旅行费用。除去学费,耶鲁会向其申请者提供一份 包含住宿费、伙食费及含书费、日用品花费、旅行费及个人支出在内的常规标准的 预计补贴清单。总之,一旦被耶鲁录取,她会提供给学生申请的全部经济需求。

C: I see. Now I understand how the need-based financial aid works. Is there any other financial aid?

C:我知道了。现在我明白以需求为基础的经济资助是如何运作的了。还有其他的经 济资肋方式吗?

A: Of course. You can either ask for a loan or apply for outside funds. For the detailed information about these two kinds of financial aid, you can search on the internet.

A:当然了。你既可以申请贷款,也可以申请外部资金援助。要想了解有关二者的详 细信息,你可以好好上网查重。

C: OK. Thank you for your patience and detailed explanation.

C:好的。非常感谢你耐心细致的讲解。

A: My pleasure. Best wishes for you!

A:不客气。祝你一切顺利!

C: Thank you!

C:多谢!
