Clare: Hi, Henry. How are things?
克莱尔：嗨，亨利，近来好吗？

Henry: Oh...Just so so...How about you?
亨利：哦，就那样吧。你呢？

Clare: Ok... Nothing special. But you look really worried. Is there anything wrong?
克莱尔：哦，没什么特别的。但你看起来很忧虑，出什么事儿了？

Henry: Yeah, I just got back the results on the exam. I can't believe it! I did terribly. I don't know what happened.
亨利：是的，我刚拿回来考试的成绩。我真不敢相信！我做得遭透了。我不知道怎么会这样。

Clare: Look, Henry, that's not surprising. It happens to a lot of people. Don't worry about it.
克莱尔：看，亨利，那没什么大不了的，很多人都遇到过，别难过。

Henry: Don't worry about it? How can you say that? I can't apply to college with a score like that! I have to take the exam over.
亨利：不要难受了？你怎么能这样说？我总不能拿这样的分数申请大学吧。我必须通过这个考试。

Clare: Listen, if it makes you feel any better, I went through the same thing.
克莱尔：听我说，我遇到过同样的情况，如果这样能使你觉得好受一点的话。

Henry: You did? You mean you got terrible results the first time?
亨利：你？你的意思是说你头一回也考得很糟？

Clare: Yeah. Look, you have to practice these tests. You have to get used to the type of questions. It's just practive, believe me.
克莱尔：是的。你看，对付这种考试，你需要练习，熟悉题型。相信我，你需要的只是训练。

Henry: But I still feel really depressed.
亨利：但我还是感到很沮丧。

Clare: How about if I help you?
克莱尔：我帮你怎么样？

Henry: Gee, that would be great.
亨利：耶，那太棒了。
