成人英语三级阅读理解(59)

The day after the exam
Sam: Hi, Ann. You don't look too happy.
Ann: I think I did pretty well on the exam.
Sam: Really? That's great! You should be smiling.
Ann: However, I want to go to an American grad school. So I have to keep studying.
Sam: Not so quick. Now you should go out and have fun.
Ann: No way! I have to study for the GRE.
Sam: Oh, Ann. That's a long way off.
Ann: It's never too early to study.

考完隔天
山姆：嗨，安。你看来不太高兴。
安：我想我考得相当好。
山姆：真的吗？那太棒了！你应该笑的。
安：然而，我想要去念美国的研究所，所以我还得继续念书。
山姆：别那么快。你现在应该去外面玩一玩。
安：不行啦！我得去准备GRE。
山姆：噢，安。那是很久以后的事呢。
安：读书永远都不嫌早。


重点解说：

★ GRE (n.) （美国）研究生入学考试。这个字是Graduate Record Examinations的缩写
★ long way off 很久以后，很远的距离
