小龙

你好吗?你最近怎么样?

How are you? How have you been lately?

婷婷

我很好。我现在的课,一些是网课,一些是在教室里上的。

I'm good. My classes now, some are online classes, some I take in the classroom.

小龙

网课?你真的觉得在网课上学到的和在教室里一样多吗?

Online class? Do you really feel you learn as much in online class as you do in the classroom?

婷婷

网课的时候,我没听懂,我就可以再看一次,这是很好的。

In online class, if there's a part I didn't understand, I can just watch it again. That's really good.

小龙

这是真的很好。但是在教室里,我没听懂的时候,也可以问老师,网课的时候呢?

That is really good. But in the classroom, when I don't understand, I can also just ask the teacher. Can you, in online class?

婷婷

网课也可以问老师。但是老师看不到我,我有时候会静音,也不认真。

In online class I can ask the teacher too. But the teacher can't see me, and sometimes I mute myself and I'm not attentive either.

小龙

会静音?你说说看。

You mute yourself? Tell me more.

婷婷

有一次,我静音了,就去玩手机,没有认真听课。

One time, I muted myself, and then I went and played on my phone, and didn't listen to the class attentively.

小龙

老师不知道你静音了,你是不是就不认真了?

The teacher doesn't know you muted yourself, so isn't it easy to stop being attentive?

婷婷

不是常常,但是也有几次了。这个事,在教室里,我不会这样。

Not often, but it has happened a few times. This thing, in the classroom, I wouldn't do this.

小龙

为什么在教室里你不会这样?

Why wouldn't you do this in the classroom?

婷婷

教室里,老师看得到我,同学也看得到我,我就认真了。

In the classroom, the teacher can see me, and my classmates can see me too, so I'm attentive.

小龙

那网课有网课的好,教室有教室的好?

So online class has its own good points, and the classroom has its own good points?

婷婷

是的,我觉得是这样。网课可以再看一次,但是我也有几次不认真。教室里我认真,但是没听懂就没有了。

Right, I think that's how it is. In online class I can watch a part again, but I've also been inattentive a few times. In the classroom I'm attentive, but if I don't understand something, it's gone.

小龙

你觉得,网课好,还是教室里的课好?

So what do you think, is online class better, or is the classroom better?

婷婷

我也不知道。可能两个都好,也都有问题。

I don't know either. Maybe they're both good, and they both have problems too.

看懂了吗 · Check yourself

What are her classes like now?

一些是网课,一些是在教室里上的

What can she do if she didn't understand a part in online class?

我就可以再看一次

What did she do one time instead of listening attentively?

我静音了,就去玩手机

Does she say online class or the classroom is definitely better?

可能两个都好,也都有问题
