听力原文及翻译

B: My history classes are so stressful too, I'm always on pins and needles waiting to get my tests back. I can't seem to pull myself together, my last history exam, I barely finished in the nick of time, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I got at least a B minus. I don't know how Nancy always manages to get a plus at history, I would be over the moon if I got her grades. I wish I were as smart as her.

B: 我的历史课也很有压力，我总是如坐针毡地等着拿试卷。我无法振作起来，上次的历史考试我勉强在最后时刻完成了，我希望我至少能得个B -。我不知道南希的历史怎么总能得+，要是我能拿到她的成绩，我会欣喜若狂的。我希望我像她一样聪明。

A: Honey, I don't want to beat around the bush, so I'll get straight to the point. It sounds like you're comparing yourself to the other students. If you keep doing that, you go out of your mind. In a nutshell, I think you need to focus on doing your own personal best.

A: 亲爱的，我不想拐弯抹角，所以我就开门见山了。听起来你好像在拿自己和其他学生比较。如果你继续这样做，你会疯掉的。简而言之，我认为你只需要专注于尽你所能。
