For some reason, this took most of last night to write:
How was your summer break?
我的暑假还可以。我会去芝加哥。
When did you get back to campus?
我是昨天晚上回来的。
今年我们已经四年级的大学生。毕业就快了。毕业以后，我听说有的同学上研究所，有的同学找工作.
What are you planning to do after graduation?
我还不知道。研究所平常太贵了，我给这个大学付了很多钱。再说，我父母想我找工作。可是什么工作我都不在乎。
Really? What is your major?
我的专业是艺术。我喜欢是喜欢画画儿，可是我可能没找到工作。
You won’t necessarily have difficulty finding a job. For example…(example of successful artist)
但是我父母不让我画画儿。
Why?
我父母所以不让我画画儿是因为他们想我赚很多钱。我姑父是一个诗人了，可是他不能赚钱。他没上大学，所以他不能找别的工作。他家庭觉得很丢人，去年他自杀了。
Your parents’ point of view is too one-sided.
我告诉我父母，“如果将来你当了美国的最伟大的画画儿人之一，你的钱比医生的更多。反正，画画儿的人跟诗人不一样。”但是无论我赚的钱多不多，我父母说不定想我不当画画儿人。
Then, what other interests do you have?
我每天喜欢看报纸，特别是美国政治的新闻。
Do you like to study politics?
对，我在这个大学上了几节政治课。我政治课的成绩都很好。
Then, you should move to Washington and work in the White House.
那个工作有很多担子。我不太可靠，连我的家务自己都不做完。再说，我没有地位。
But you are smart. You only need to use your brain.
你说的话没有道理。我还需要钱。还有，在政治方面，美国人还歧视妇女。为什么连一个女的总统美国都没有？
You don’t need to become President. You can do other things. Do you like to travel?
我很喜欢。
Then, you can study international politics and work in a foreign country.
我喜欢旅行，可是我不想在外国工作。我是美国人，所以我想在美国工作。
You could go abroad and teach English for a year or two.
你的建议好是好，可是我觉得教英文很难。我不想太难的工作。
All jobs are a little difficult! Ai, I can’t take it! Nevermind, nevermind! You should find a rich man and marry him!
The bits in Chinese were my parts of the dialogue and the bits in English are DHB's. I originally wrote this whole thing in Chinese, but then DHB decided that he preferred to not memorize the dialogue and just wing the translation during the actual performance earlier today. Because he's just that much better at Chinese than me. >_>;;
In other news, I introduced one of my gay friends to Skip Beat! last night. We skipped around to different episodes, and in the episodes where Kyoko and Ren first start to become friendly with each other, he said, "One day, those two will have fabulous sex."
Fabulous indeed. :P
