Tanner: [Embarrassed] Umm. I sort of have a problem. I need to use the restroom, but I'm afraid to go alone. Vlad, will you come, too? （尴尬）嗯。我有一个问题。我要去洗手间，但我不敢一个人去。夫拉德，你可以一起来吗？

Yu-ling: If the two of you are going, I'm going, too. 如果你们两个都要去，我也要去。

Candy: I just got all my test scores back. I only scored 170 on the TOEFL, and my GRE and GMAT scores are laughable! 我刚收到我所有的考试成绩了。我的托福只考一百七十分，我的GRE和GMAT分数也很可笑！

Sarah: Give me a second. I'm taking out my contacts. 等我一下。我正在拔隐形眼镜。

Candy: Well, hurry up and help me! I'm freaking out here. My parents have already spent five hundred thousand on cram schools, and my scores still suck. If I don't get into school, they'll disown me! 呃，快一点来帮我！我快急死了。我爸妈已经花了五十万让我上补习班，而我的成绩还是很糟。如果我进不了学校，他们会和我断绝关系！
