听力原文

A: Hi Maria!
A：嗨，玛丽亚！

B: Hi, Susan.
B：嗨，苏珊。

A: It's so good to see you! I'm trying to remember when the last time I saw you was.
A：很高兴见到你！我努力回忆我上次见到你是什么时候。

B: Oh, I don't know. But every time I suggest meeting, you have some excuse. Are you trying to avoid me?
B：哦，我也不知道。但每次我提出见面，你都找借口。你是在躲着我吗？

A: You know I always look forward to meeting you, I had been meaning to pay you a visit, but I just couldn't find the time. I love spending time with you, you're my best friend. But I've been very busy with my job, I want to get promoted and to earn more, but promotion takes a lot of work. Imagine having to get up at 5 am every day and going to sleep at midnight, I aspire to be a CEO in the next 5 years, and I'll work towards making my dream a reality.
A：你知道我一直很期待见到你，我一直想去看你，但就是找不到时间。我喜欢和你在一起，你是我最好的朋友。但我的工作很忙，我想升职，赚更多的钱，但升职需要付出很多努力。想象一下每天早上 5 点起床，午夜睡觉，我渴望在未来 5 年内成为一名CEO，我会努力实现我的梦想。

B: If you continue to work so hard, you risk getting sick.
B：如果你继续这么努力工作，你可能会生病。

A: I need to raise money to buy a bigger apartment, and a new car. I have lots of plans and dreams that I need to achieve.
A：我需要筹集资金来购买更大的公寓和新车。我有很多计划和梦想需要实现。

B: You always need to raise money for something, and you negect to live life to the fullest, you never get to spend enough time with the people you love, and time passes by.
B：你总是需要为某事筹钱，而你却忘记了充实的生活，你永远没有足够的时间与你爱的人在一起，时间就这样流逝。

A: That's true. I don't get to see my family as often as I like, I miss living with my parents, I remember sleeping in, and waking up to a home cooked breakfast. I miss seeing my parents out in the garden every day, looking after their vegetable plants. I also miss joking around with my brother. I plan to visit them next month. I've been so busy lately that I struggle to stay in touch with them.
A：没错。我不能像我希望的那样经常见到我的家人，我怀念和父母住在一起的日子，我记得睡懒觉，醒来后吃一顿家常早餐。我怀念每天看到父母在花园里照看他们的蔬菜。我也怀念和哥哥开玩笑的日子。我计划下个月去看他们。我最近太忙了，很难和他们保持联系。

B: That sounds tough. Try to slow your life down and even find a hobby.
B：这听起来太艰辛了。试着放慢你的生活节奏吧，甚至去找个爱好。

A: I prefer to focus on my career now and on my goals. I'll have plenty of time for hobbies later.
A：我现在更愿意专注于我的事业和我的目标。以后我会有足够的时间从事爱好。

B: Don't take time for granted. When was the last time you went on vacation?
B：不要把时间视为理所当然。你上次度假是什么时候？

A: I don't even remember. Unfortunately, I can't afford to go on vacation any time soon, that would means saying goodbye to any chance of promotion.
A：我甚至不记得了。不幸的是，我近期没有钱去度假，那意味着我要和任何晋升的机会告别了。

B: You are working too much, you should stop to enjoy life too.
B：你工作太累了，你也应该停下来享受生活。
