5 .<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> Well, it's a huge honor to win, and there's an award ceremony they've invited me to attend—which I'm so excited about—but—and here's what's frustrating—I've got a biology exam that's scheduled for the same time!
哦，能获奖真是巨大的荣幸。我超级高兴他们能邀请我去参加颁奖礼。但是，让人沮丧的事儿来了：我有一门生物考试，时间和颁奖礼是一样的，撞上啦。
