A：So, Fred, what are your plans for after graduation?

那么，弗莱德，毕业后你有什么打算?

B：Well, I've already got a job waiting for me back in my hometown.

嗯，我家乡已经有份工作正等着我回去做。

A：That's cool. Have you already found an apartment to live in?

那太好了。你已经找到住房了吗?

B：I’m planning on living with my parents. Won't you?

我正打算跟我父母住在一起。难道你不会吗?

A：I couldn't even if I wanted to. My parents told me that if I went home, then I'd have to find my own place.

即使我想也不行啊。我父母亲告诉我如果我回家，那我必须自己找个地方住。

B：You mean they're kicking you out?

你是说他们会把你踢出去?

A：Not really, they just don't want me living at home. My older sister did that, and she lived at home for seven years. Once she started living at home, it got harder and harder for her to move out.

不完全是。他们只是不想我住在家里。以前我姐姐住在家里，她就在家住了7年。一旦她在家里住下来，对她来说，搬出去就越来越难。

B：Well, it's not like my parents want me to live at home the rest of my life. They said that it's ok if I move back home to begin with, but they want me to find a place of my own after a year or so.

嗯，不是我父母亲想要我以后都住在家里。他们说如果我搬回家开始生活，那很好，但他们想要我大约一年后自己去找地方住。

A：My parents just didn't handle my older sister very well, and because of that, they want me to be more independent. They think that it's important that I should learn how to live on my own.

我父母只是没把我姐姐的事处理好，也正因为那样，他们想让我更独立。他们认为让我学会如何独立生活是很重要的。

B：I know I need to learn that myself, but I just don't have the money for it at the moment. Living at home allows me to save up some money before I started finding a place.

我知道我自己需要学会独立生活，但现在我只是没钱那样做。在我开始找个地方住之前，住在家里可以让我节约一些钱。
