Now here's a dialogue reviewing the material presented on this tape.
Tom, a graduate student, talked with his classmate from Hong Kong, Yiping,
in front of a larger library at Georgetown University.
Hey, Tom, 你好。
你好,李平,来看书啊。
吃了晚饭,出来走走。
到图书馆看看新到的杂志。
你最喜欢的英文杂志是什么?
嗯,新闻周刊。
为什么?
新闻周刊很好,对学英文很有帮助。
对,看这个杂志,一方面可以学英文,
一方面可以知道美国社会的情况,是不错。
这个星期有什么有意思的文章吗?
有,有一篇关于男女平等的文章很有意思。
哦,男女平等,我的女朋友对这个题目很有研究。
怎么?你也对这个问题有兴趣吗?
有,我有兴趣,而且想知道你们的看法。
我可以问几个问题吗?
当然,请问吧。
这篇文章说,在很多地方越来越流行男女同居了,
对不起。
没什么,你说下去。
这篇文章还说,这种事和妇女的地位有关系。
这一点我真是不懂了。
中国人的传统观念是,妇女没有结婚,
不应该和她的男朋友住在一起。
我们的观念不太一样,
一些妇女特别是知识妇女,
他们不要靠先生生活,
他们要有独立的经济和社会地位。
像我的女朋友,她就有这样的看法。
而且我想,同居的问题和很多事情有关系,
不只是妇女的地位问题。
如果可以谈的话,你给我讲讲怎么样。
这样吧,我给你谈谈我的事,
你就知道我们怎么想了。
你知道,我的女朋友她是学医的,
学医不是一件容易的事,
她还要在大学学习六年。
那你们什么时候结婚呢?
现在我们还不想结婚。
为什么?你们觉得结了婚,
有了孩子会不会麻烦是不是?
不是这个意思。
就是我们结婚了,也不一定马上要孩子。
重要的是,我们这一辈子要做什么,
还没有好好想过呢?
应该先想那个问题。
而且我们都愿意在结婚以前,
清楚地知道自己喜欢的那个人是一个什么样的人。
这也需要时间。
可是有人会觉得你们这样做,
是因为你们觉得同居比结婚自由。
有人这么说,
可是我想他们没懂我们的自由是什么。
是什么呢?
美国人觉得自己可以计划自己的生活,
是最重要的自由。
如果美国没有这种自由,
就不会有那么多人想来美国了。
你说我说的对不对?
你说的有点道理。
哦,我还忘了问你,
今年夏天你的女朋友能陪你到香港去吗?
不行。
她计划到德国去念书。
暑假的时候,她要在德国住三个月。
那对她的德文一定很有帮助。
对。
怎么样?
你对新闻周刊这篇文章还有什么别的看法吗?
看法有。
这个题目很大,
我们以后慢慢再谈。
好,以后再谈。
这就是最后的题目。
