英语流利说 Level5 Unit3 Getting into

Guess what? I've got some news.      

Oh, you mean about Jack?

Yes, Have you heard?        

Yes, Eliza messaged me a few minutes ago.

Isn't it wonderful？  he has been accepted to Stanford!

(What was her reaction to the news?)  She's excited

Really? That's not what I heard.

Oh, what have you heard?        

I heard he didn't get in.   [词典]当选; 挤出时间做; 收割（庄稼等）; （火车、公共汽车或飞机）到达，抵达;

So it was just a rumor.          n.谣言;    

If that's what you heard, it isn't true.

He really wanted to get in. But from what I've heard, he just on their waiting list.

(The rumor that he was accepted wasn't true.)

Oh, then there is still a chance that he will get in.

I guess so. But even if he gets in, how is he going to pay for it? It's very expensive and his family isn't wealthy.

Well, he can always get a student loan or maybe he will get a scholarship.

[词典]助学贷款;                                    n.奖学金; 学术; 学问; 学术研究;

(Why can't his family pay for his education?)  They aren't wealthy enough.

(One way to pay would be to get a student loan or work part-time.)

Even if he gets a loan, it will be for a lot money. He would be taking on a lot of debt.

Still, a degree from Stanford is worth a lot and I've heard they have a lot of money for scholarships.

I wonder what he will do?       我不知道他要做什么。

If he gets in, I hope he gets a scholarship.

(What will he be doing if he gets a loan?)   Taking on debt.

What will he do if he doesn't get into Stanford?     

What are his other choices?

The only school...  I've heard him mention is Cambridge in England.

Oh, well, that's not a bad choice.

(What wasn't true?)   the rumor

What about you? Have you heard anything?

Me? I will tell you if you promise not to tell anyone, ok ?

Sure, if it is a secret, you can trust me.

I have been accepted into MIT on a full scholarship.

(What other school has Jack mentioned?)  He has also mentioned Cambridge.

(She wants to keep her acceptance into MIT a secret.)

MIT? You are joking, right?

No, I'm serious.

Why haven't you told anyone?

I really didn't expect to get in.     v.期待; 预计; 预期; 指望; 预料; 要求; 盼望; 等待;

Yes, especially with a full scholarship.

Some people will be jealous when they hear about it.
