To Suffer More, or Not?
是要辛苦些，还是不要那么辛苦？

David：What’s your major?你学的什么专业？
You：英语。English.
David：What year are you in?几年级了？
You：I am in Grade Four this year. 今年四年级。
David：In the United States, each university year has a different name: freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior.在美国，每个年级都有不同的名称：freshman、sophomore、junior和senior。
You：I don’t like to suffer more than I need to. Many students suffer from the heavy workload. 我不喜欢上二年级。学生在那一年里特别辛苦。
David：Suffer? I mean sophomore, not suffer more. I am saying the second year: sophomore. Oh, maybe you suffer every year?辛苦？我是说sophomore（二年级学生），不是suffer more（更辛苦）。二年级学生称为“sophomore”。你是不是每年都很辛苦呢？
You：That is what I mean. But I like this year better than others. We don’t have any schoolwork, and we can study on our own. 是的，不过今年好多了。最后一年没什么学习任务。我们可以做我们想做的事情。
David：I think many students , English majors in particular, look for language exchange partners. How about you? 我觉得似乎很多学生（尤其是英语专业的学生）会找外国留学生相互学习。你呢？
You：我不大喜欢。
David：Oh. 哦。
