A:Mei, could you bring this note to Professor Li for me today? 
阿美，今天你能帮我把这张便条带给李教授吗？

B:Sure, no problem. Asking for leave again? You have been absent from class five times this semester.
好的，没有问题。又要请假？这个学期你已经请了五次假了。

A：I know. But attending Miss Li's class is just waste of time. No more than one third of her students will go to her class. 
我知道，但是上她的课只是浪费时间。上她课的学生总数不超过三分之一。

B：I agree that Miss Li doesn't teach so well. Most students either sleep or do other things in her class.
我也认为李教授教得不是很好，大部分同学上她的课的时候要么就睡觉，要么就做别的事情。

A：Yeah, my boyfriend plays the video game every time in class with me. Or I chat with my friends through text messages. 
是的，在她的课上，我男朋友常陪我玩电子游戏，要不然我就跟朋友发短信聊天。

B：Fortunately her class is just an elective course, not as important as compulsory courses.
幸亏她的课只是门选修课，不像必修课那么重要。

A：Right, so we must spare some time to attend selective courses. 
没错，我们必须多留出一点时间来上选修课。

B：But isn't it too impolite to be absent?
但是逃课好像不太礼貌吧？

A：What can I do? I have things to do in Students' Government. 
我能怎么办？我在学生会有事情要做。

B：Oh, I thought you just gave an excuse on this note.
我想你应该在这个条子上写一个理由。

A：Sometimes I will try various excuses. But this is my last time asking for leave. Or I will have a bad record. 
有时我会尝试写各种理由，但是这是我最后一次请假了。否则我会有不良记录的。

B：Yeah, besides, your credit will be deducted. That is kind of serious.
嗯，除此之外，学分也会被减。事情会比较严重。

A：I have been absented from many classes this semester just because of my work in the Students' Government. 
这个学期由于学生会的工作，我已经缺了不少课了。

B：You can't write with one hand and draw with the other.
人不能一心两用嘛。

A：I am thinking about quitting my job in the student government. But before that, I must do my job. Bye. Don't forget about that note. 
我想辞掉学生会的工作。但是在那之前，我必须完成我的工作。拜拜，别忘了请假条。

B：You can count on me.
相信我。
