为什么？
4 .<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> Well look, Tim's my friend, but he's not your typical student.
虽然我把Tim当朋友，但他绝对不是有代表性的学生。
5 .He stays up late partying every night, week nights too.
他每天晚上都通宵狂欢，即使工作日的晚上也是如此。
6 .<-MALE STUDENT:-> If he parties every night, no wonder he can't pay attention.
如果他每晚都狂欢的话，难怪他集中不了注意力了。
7 .<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> Yes, and most students aren't like that.
没错，不过大部分学生都不会这样的。

他们来上课时都做好了准备，充分休息过了，而且他们都能集中精神。
9 .<-MALE STUDENT:-> So, you are saying the problem is really Tim.
所以你的意思是，其实问题出在Tim身上？

对。去年我和他有过同一节课，可是无论什么时候我看到他，他都在睡觉。
11 .<-MALE STUDENT:-> I guess if he's sleeping, he can't really know what's happening, what other people in class are doing.
我想如果他睡着了的话，那他就不可能知道真正发生了什么，班上其他人在做什么。
12 .<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> Right, and you want to know what does happen in that last hour of seminar?
没错！你想知道研讨会最后一个小时真正会发生什么吗？
13 .In a lot of seminars that I've been in, that's when things get interesting.
在我去过的许多研讨会里，那最后一个小时正是事情开始变得有趣的时候。
14 .<-MALE STUDENT:-> Really?
真的吗？
15 .<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> Yes, that's usually when students get really involved in their discussion and start exchanging important ideas.
是的，那个时候学生才真正参与到讨论中，并且开始分享重要的想法。
16 .And if the history department actually did what Tim suggests, well, if they did that, what would happen is you lose what might be the most worthwhile part of the seminar.
如果历史系真的按照Tim的建议来做的话，好吧，如果他们真的这么做了，一定会失去整个研讨会最有价值的部分。
