The second class 我的第二堂意大利语课

        上次提到过我在英国游学期间，曾经短修过一些意大利语课。想来也是有趣，就把故事接着讲下去好了。

This week I had my second class of Italian language.

本周迎来了我的第二堂意大利语课。

      Last Thursday I had a 2-hour class of Italian and I did not feel well coz I had a bad cold. Anyway, this kind of Latin language is similar with another one-- French, which I learned a little bit when I was inBelgium. I supposed it would not be very hard for me to learn.

        上周四下午两个小时的学习，因为还有些轻微的感冒，所以第一次课就听得云里雾里的。好在当时觉得它有点像法语，心里总有些似曾相识的亲近感，因此咱也就“不怕不怕拉”。而说实在的，我的法语水平也是极其初级。

      Last Sunday, I was invitied to travel to York by my flatmate, Maria and her colleage, Jackline who drove us there and whose son went together with us. We did some shopping and had a nice coffee in the coffee bar along the river of the city. The gentle breeze there made my cold worse.

        上周日，被同屋的德国室友约着去了趟小城约克。她在大学教德语的同事JACKRINE开车把我们以及她来英国读中学已一年多的儿子ROBIN一起拉到那座小的旅游城市逛街、购物，外带在河边的露天咖啡座喝咖啡。如此一来，本来貌似要从感冒中“康复”过来的，经河边的小风温柔的一阵吹，又有点晕乎了。

      Last night, Maria told me there's still place available in the class at university for Beginers of German language learning. I thought I would take it. However, Thursday morning I was not myself and I had to dismiss the idear. I will attend Italian class regularly and learn German language by myself with the aid of elctronic material sent from my blog friend.

        昨晚，也就是周三的晚上，MARIA还跟我说，德语的初级班可能还有位置，她的同事BETTINA让我直接去他们班，先上着，再去语言部注册交钱，我也很心动。不知道是用“蠢蠢欲动”，还是“磨刀霍霍”来形容自己当时的心情了，反正对于学德语，咱也是跃跃欲试滴。怎奈今天上午一觉醒来，脑袋像罩了个金箍棒似地疼，只好作罢。先一心一意上意大利语吧，德语就用网友给我发的电子材料先自学着。

      This afternoon, I definitely got confused in my Italian class coz the tutor Alice wentthrough the class quickly. Although other students also felt it difficult to catch it occassionaly, they almost could follow the most part of thecourse. They are language students. Now I know, I have to spend 2 hours each day in reviewing the class that I have learned 2 hours a week.

        今天下午的课，咱是60%的晕了。阿丽洽或者叫阿丽切，咱的老师是开始大部分地用意大利语发号施令了。正如我所说，由于同学大部分是学语言专业的，他们虽然偶尔也面露困惑，但大部分时间还是跟得上老师的拍子的，我感觉自己就差点意思了。毕竟，这不是在社区学校学语言，是在大学的语言部，老师不会给学生太多的时间做简单的练习，而是大进度，大步调地往前赶。俺也仿佛明白了许多：要想跟上大家的步伐不丢脸（咱不强求露脸了），一周课上学两个小时，回家后，我至少每天要花两个小时巩固和复习。

      After class I met Alice, our tutor. I told her I might have difficulties in pronounciation and she encouraged me not to give up. I told her I had fallen in love with Italian language since I saw the movie "Cinema Pradizo"

        放学后，在过道里碰到阿丽洽，闲聊了几句。我告诉她发音会是我最大的问题，她则希望我不要放弃。我笑着说我会坚持的，因为意大利语很好听。尤其是看了电影《天堂电影院》后，我开始喜欢上这种语言的语音语调了。

      You won't refuse a kind of language which sounds like song-singing. I also think I may listen to Italian opera along with some red wine and French cheese or some salted olivers. Wow. What lovely life!

        是呀，一种说话像唱歌的语言，很难不喜欢的。我想，有空咱再听听意大利歌剧什么的，偶尔来点红酒，再加几块奶酪和几颗咸水橄榄，生活，不要太美好哦
