A 陳磊,讓我抄一下數學作業吧。老師待會兒要檢查,我一道題都沒做。

Chén Lěi, ràng wǒ chāo yīxià shùxué zuòyè ba. lǎoshī dāi huìr yào jiǎnchá, wǒ yī dào tí dōu méi zuò.

Chen Lei, let me copy your math homework, OK? In a little while the teacher is going to check it, and I haven't finished even one of the questions.

B 不行,老師會發現的。

bù xíng, lǎoshī huì fāxiàn de.

No way. The teacher will find out.

A 我一看到幾何、代數就頭暈。好哥們兒,你就幫幫我嘛。

wǒ yī kàndào jǐhé, dàishù jiù tóuyūn. hǎogērmen, nǐ jiù bāng bang wǒ ma.

The second I see geometry and algebra I get dizzy. Buddy, help me out, will you?

B 這樣吧,你有不懂的地方,我可以教你。

zhèyàng ba, nǐ yǒu bù dǒng de dìfang, wǒ kěyǐ jiāo nǐ.

How about this--the parts you don't understand, I can teach you.

A 那這道算三角形面積的怎麼做?

nà zhè dào suàn sānjiǎoxíng miànjī de zěnme zuò?

OK, how do you calculate the surface area of a triangle?

B 這個簡單,有公式的。只要底乘以高再除以2就行了。

zhège jiǎndān, yǒu gōngshì de. zhǐyào dǐ chéngyǐ gāo zài chúyǐ èr jiù xíng le.

That's simple, there is a formula. You just need to multiply the base by the height and divide that by two.

A 答案是多少?我懶得算了。

dá àn shì duōshǎo? wǒ lǎn de suàn le.

What is the answer? I don't feel like calculating it.

B 你不是有計算器嗎?你自己算。

nǐ bù shì yǒu jìsuànqì ma? nǐ zìjǐ suàn.

Don't you have a calculator? Figure it out for yourself.

A 真小氣。徐曉婷,我數學作業不會做,你教我一下吧。

zhēn xiǎoqì. Xú Xiǎotíng, wǒ shùxué zuòyè bù huì zuò, nǐ jiāo wǒ yīxià ba.

That's so stingy. Xu Xiaoting, I can't do my math homework. Teach me how to do it, OK?

C 好的。哪一道?

hǎo de. nǎ yī dào?

All right. Which question?

A 這道。24次方是多少?

zhè dào. èr de sì cì fāng shì duōshǎo?

This one. What is 2 to the power of 4?

C 你乘一下就出來了。

nǐ chéng yīxià jiù chūlai le.

You just multiply it and you'll get it.

A 2乘以4等於8。不會這麼簡單吧?

èr chéngyǐ sì děngyú bā. bù huì zhème jiǎndān ba?

2 times 4 equals 8. It couldn't be that simple, could it?

C 什麼呀。應該是42相乘。

shénme yā. yīnggāi shì sì ge èr xiāngchéng.

What? You should be multiplying the 2 by itself four times.

A 你還是直接告訴我答案吧。哎!你們好學生做題目怎麼那麼輕鬆呢?我腦子想破了都想不出來。

nǐ háishì zhíjiē gàosu wǒ dá\\'àn ba. āi! nǐmen hǎo xuésheng zuò tímù zěnme nàme qīngsōng ne? wǒ nǎozi xiǎng pò le dōu xiǎng bu chūlai.

It would be better if you just told me the answer. Sigh! How can you good students do the questions so easily? I rack my brains and still can't come up with anything.

C 其實你腦子挺聰明的。只要肯努力,說不定成績比我們還好呢。

qíshí nǐ nǎozi tǐng cōngming de. zhǐyào kěn nǔlì, shuōbudìng chéngjì bǐ wǒmen hái hǎo ne.

Actually you have a clever mind. You just have to be willing to work hard and it's quite possible that your grades could be even better than ours.

A 條條大路通羅馬。反正我不想走讀書這條路。你看我爸,數學一塌糊塗,炒股票照樣賺錢。

tiáotiáo dàlù tōng Luómǎ. fǎnzhèng wǒ bù xiǎng zǒu dúshū zhè tiáo lù. nǐ kàn wǒ bà, shùxué yītāhútu, chǎo gǔpiào zhàoyàng zhuànqián.

All roads lead to Rome. In any case, I don't want to take the studying road. Look at my dad, he's a mess at math, and by speculating in the stock market he makes money all the same.

B 可是現在是21世紀,有知識才能賺錢。

kěshì xiànzài shì èrshí yī shìjì, yǒu zhīshi cáinéng zhuànqián.

But now it's the 21st century, you can only make money by having knowledge.

A 那可不一定。我都給你們分析過了。陳磊,你呢,數學好,適合當數學家。徐曉婷呢,適合......

nà kě bù yīdìng. wǒ dōu gěi nǐmen fēnxī guo le. Chén Lěi, nǐ ne, shùxué hǎo, shìhé dāng shùxuéjiā. Xú Xiǎotíng ne, shìhé......

That's not for certain. I've analyzed it before for you guys. Chen Lei, what about you--good at math, you suit becoming a mathmatician. Xu Xiaoting, you suit...

C 行了!你還是趕快想想作業沒做好,怎麼交差吧。

xíng le! nǐ háishì gǎnkuài xiǎng xiang zuòyè méi zuò hǎo, zěnme jiāochāi ba.

All right already! You had better hurry up and think about your homework not being done and how you're going to get it done.
