能这么做真好，是吧？

7 .I mean maybe a little snack will help the person who's eating it.
也许吃点零食对吃的这个人会有所帮助，
8 .But the trouble is that it makes it hard for everyone else to concentrate
但问题是这样会分散其他人的注意力，因为他们不得不听着别人咯吱咯吱嚼薯片、咔嚓咔嚓咬苹果或者把包装纸弄得沙沙作响。
9 .coz they have to listen to someone munching on chips or biting into an apple or crinkling paper wrappers.
因为他们不得不听着别人咯吱咯吱嚼薯片、咔嚓咔嚓咬苹果或者把包装纸弄得沙沙作响。

是有点破坏课堂秩序。

没错！这样会干扰所有人的注意力。

周围这么吵根本没办法集中精神。
13 .<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> Ok.I guess I have to agree with you on that.
好吧，关于这一点我赞成你的意见。

15 .It would be nice to able to have some fun at the end of the semester, right?
学期末能来点儿有趣的事情应该不错，对吧？

不，这一点也有问题。
17 .<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> Why?
什么问题？
18 .<-MALE STUDENT:-> Well, I don't think it appropriate to use class time for that kind of thing.
我觉得把课堂时间花在那样的事情上不太合适吧。
19 .I mean, the last classes are usually pretty important.
毕竟在最后一节课通常都很重要的。
20 .That's when we will do a lot reviewing for final exams.
我们会为期末考试复习很多东西，
21 .<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> [Reluctantly agreeing] True.
确实！
22 .<-MALE STUDENT:-> If we use that time for that, we probably wouldn't have time to do as much reviewing, which means we wouldn't be as well prepared for exams.
如果我们把最后一节课的时间花在那里，可能就没时间复习那么多了，也就是说我们考试的时候可能不如之前准备得充分。
23 .<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> Yeah, I hadn't thought of that.
是啊，我还没想到过这点呢。
