    她干了什么？

    她给了我们一次突击测试。
B: So? What's wrong with that?
    真的吗？那有什么不妥？
A: Obviously, a surprise test is bad.
    很明显，突击测试的结果会很差的。
B: Is it bad because you were not prepared?
    是不是因为我们没准备而导致结果差？
A: Exactly!
    是的！
B: Well, that sounds like more your fault than the teacher's fault.

   无论怎么说，你也没有每晚学习呀。
B: True, but if my teacher gives surprise tests, I would study every night.
   没错，但如果我的老师要给我突击测试，我就会每晚都学习。
A: Then, they wouldn't be surprise tests.
    如果那样的话，它们就不叫突击测试了。
B: Maybe you're right. Either way. I guess you should study more.
    或许你说得对。无论怎么说，我都觉得你应该学多点。

A: Well, the pain in your leg is not from running.  
    你的腿痛不是因跑步引起的。

    那你条退以前受过伤吗？
B: Yes. I fell skiing last March.
    是的，去年三月份我在滑雪时摔倒过。
