B:你可是找对人了，我很乐意。耶鲁和哈佛的橄榄球比赛开始于1875年，通常在 每年的11月举行，到现在已经举办了 126届。两所大学轮流做东道主。

B:当然是，两所大学都很重视这场比赛。

A: I bet the scene must be magnificent.

B:你说得对。无论在耶鲁还是在哈佛，体育场都是人山人海。学生们都有自己的庆 祝方式，如挥旗、唱歌，或舞动标语。两支球队都有自己的队服和队歌。

A:我对法律感兴趣，想成为一名律师。

B: The law schools of the two universities enjoy a big fame. However, according to the rank of law schools issued by U.S. News and World Report, Yale tops most of the time partly due to her bringing up of the recent three presidents.

B:两所大学的法学院都赫赫有名，但是根据《美国新闻与世界报道》的排名，大多 数时候都是耶鲁排第一，可能是因为最近三位美国总统都出自耶鲁吧。

B:是真的，老布什、克林顿、小布什都毕业于耶鲁法学院。耶鲁可以说是总统的摇 篮啦。

A: Many newspapers say Harvard has a great potential in the cultivation of law students. One law professor from the University of Chicago once compared it to a sleeping lion but now it has waken up. He said that Yale Law School is going downhill for most of its professors are over 60. To keep its edge, Yale has to resort to recruiting the new stars in Harvard.

A:许多报纸都说哈佛在培养法律专业的学生方面有很大的潜力。芝加哥大学的一位 法律系教授曾把哈佛法学院比作一头睡狮，但现在觉醒了。他认为，耶鲁法学院由于教授大多超过60岁，正在走下坡路。为了保持优势，耶鲁不得不挖走哈佛 的法学新星。

B: They are involved in a rat race!

B:它们的竞争真是激烈啊。

A: You got it! Yale was originally founded to compete with Harvard. If you take a walk in the campus of Yale, you may find the tombstones in the closet of shops which read: “Lay silence, Harvard!”

A:是啊!耶鲁当初建校的目的就是与哈佛相抗衡。在耶鲁的校园里随便走走，你就 会看到商店的橱窗里摆放的墓碑，上面刻着“安息吧，哈佛”。

B: That sounds quite interesting.

B:听起来很有趣。

A: As far as I am concerned，where there is competition, there is progress.

A:我认为，有压力便会有进步。

B: I can’t agree with you any more. Maybe you can refer to more sources and take various factors into consideration. You know, going abroad needs a lot of money which many of us ill afford to pay.

B:我非常赞成你的观点。你可以再查阅一些资料，统筹考虑各方面的因素。要知道， 出国需要不少钱的，许多家庭都负担不起。

A: It’s true. The tuition fee is also my concern. Both universities offer favorable preferences. Since 2008, Yale has cut down the tuition fee by a large margin ensuring the admittance of more outstanding students. However, nearly at the same time Harvard also offer tempting scholarships. I find myself in a dilemma.

A:是的,学费也是我的一个顾虑。两所大学都实行了一些优惠政策。从2008年开始， 耶鲁大幅度削减学费以保证录取优质学生，差不多同时，哈佛也宣布提供诱人的 奖学金。我现在真是左右为难。

B: Anyway, both universities are of first class. No matter where you are, what you have learned matters most.

B:不管怎样，两所大学都是一流的。不论你去哪儿，学到的知识才是最主要的。

A: Right, I will think twice before I make the decision. Thanks for your tips.

A:对，我好好考虑考虑再做决定。谢谢的建议。

B: Wish you a bright future. I will be there if you need a helping hand.
