老友重逢,寒暄叙旧
(李明和张晓雨曾是同班同学,也是社团搭档,毕业后联系较多)

李明: "Hey, Xiaoyu! Wow, it’s been like ten years! You look exactly the same, maybe even more elegant than before." (嘿,晓雨!哇,都十年了!你看起来一点没变,甚至比以前更优雅了。)

张晓雨: "Haha, Ming! You’re such a flatterer! Look at you, still that charismatic guy I knew from college. How have you been? What’s new with you these past years?" (哈哈,明!你真会说话!看看你,还是我大学时认识的那个有魅力的男生,你怎么样?这些年有什么新鲜事吗?)

李明: "Well, you know, I’ve been working in IT as a project manager. It’s been busy but fulfilling. Married two years ago, actually. My wife, she’s also here tonight—do you remember Wang Jia from our department? We reconnected at a alumni event and hit it off." (嗯,你知道的,我一直做IT项目经理,工作很忙但很有成就感,其实两年前结婚了,我妻子今晚也来了——记得我们系的王佳吗?我们在校友活动上重逢,然后走到了一起。)

张晓雨: "No way! Wang Jia? Small world! I heard she moved to the US for a master’s degree. Tell me more about how you guys met! And… do you have kids yet?" (真的吗?王佳?世界真小!我听说她去美国读硕士了,快给我讲讲你们怎么认识的!还有……你们有孩子了吗?)

李明: "Haha, not yet! We’re still enjoying the ‘DINK’ life for now. But we’re talking about it. How about you? Still that independent career woman I remember?" (哈哈,还没有!我们现在还在享受“丁克”生活,不过我们在考虑了,你呢?还是我记忆中那个独立职业女性吗?)

张晓雨: "Pretty much! I’m a lawyer now, specializing in corporate law. Crazy hours, but I love the challenge. Still single, though—dating is tough when you’re buried in case files all day." (差不多!我现在是律师,专攻公司法,工作时间疯狂,但我喜欢这种挑战,不过还是单身——整天埋在案卷里,约会太难了。)


跨行业交流,感慨人生选择
(陈浩,大学时学的是机械工程,现在却成了全职摄影师;王芳,大学时学的是英语,如今在一家外企做HR)

陈浩: "Fang, remember how I used to struggle with engineering drawing? Who would’ve thought I’d end up holding a camera for a living? Last month I shot a wedding in Iceland—frozen, but absolutely magical!" (芳,还记得我以前画工程制图有多痛苦吗?谁能想到我最后会靠相机谋生?上个月我在冰岛拍了一场婚礼——虽然冻坏了,但绝对太神奇了!)

王芳: "Harry, that’s amazing! I still have that photo you took for our college anniversary—the one with the sunset behind the library. You’ve always had an eye for beauty. As for me… well, English major in HR, it’s not as glamorous as I thought. But hey, at least I get to use my language skills when hiring foreign candidates." (浩,太厉害了!我还保留着你为我们校庆拍的那张照片——图书馆后面的日落,你一直对美很敏锐,至于我……嗯,英语专业做HR,没有我想象中那么光鲜,但至少招聘外国候选人时能用上我的语言技能。)

陈浩: "True! And you’re way better at dealing with people than I am. I’m just happy chasing sunsets and mountains now. No deadlines, no bosses… well, except for brides who want ‘perfect’ photos!" (确实!而且你比我擅长打交道,我现在很高兴追逐日落和群山,没有截止日期,没有老板……嗯,除了那些想要“完美”照片的新娘们!)

王芳: "Haha, fair enough! But seriously, it’s great to see everyone pursuing what they love, even if it’s not the ‘traditional’ path. Like Li Na—she was so quiet in college, now she runs a successful chain of bookstores!" (哈哈,说得对!但说真的,看到每个人都在追求自己热爱的事情,即使不是“传统”道路,真的很棒,比如李娜——她在大学时那么内向,现在却成功经营着连锁书店!)


回忆青春,笑谈糗事
(大家的话题转向大学时的趣事,气氛更加轻松)

张晓雨: "Oh my god, remember Professor Li’s finance class? Ming used to fall asleep every time he started talking about stock options. One time he even snored so loudly that the professor stopped and asked if he was ‘meditating’!" (哦天哪,记得李教授的金融课吗?明每次讲到股票期权都会睡着,有一次他打鼾声太大,教授停下来问他是不是在“冥想”!)

李明: "Hey, don’t remind me! That was the 8 AM class, what did you expect? But I still remember how you used to pass me notes with doodles of cats—way more interesting than derivatives." (嘿,别提了!那是早上8点的课,你还想怎样?但我还是记得你给我传的画着猫的涂鸦笔记——比金融衍生品有趣多了。)

王芳: "And who could forget the campus festival? Our band’s performance was a disaster—Harry forgot the lyrics to the second song, and Na dropped her drumstick! But we still got the loudest applause because everyone was laughing so hard." (谁能忘记校园文化节啊?我们乐队的表演是一场灾难——浩忘词了,娜还掉了鼓槌!但我们还是得到了最热烈的掌声,因为大家笑得太厉害了。)

陈浩: "Guilty as charged! But that’s the beauty of college, right? We weren’t perfect, but we were happy. Now we’re all ‘adults’ with mortgages and deadlines… sometimes I miss those carefree days." (罪过罪过!但这就是大学的美好之处,对吧?我们并不完美,但我们很快乐,现在我们都是有房贷和截止日期的“成年人”……有时候我很怀念那些无忧无虑的日子。)

张晓雨: "I know what you mean. But look at us now—we’ve come a long way. Ten years later, we’re still here, catching up like no time has passed. That’s what friendship is all about, isn’t it?" (我懂你的意思,但看看我们现在——我们已经走了很远,十年后,我们还在这里,感觉像时光从未流逝过,这就是友谊的意义,对吧?)
