B: So tell me, the last time I saw you, you were planning to go abroad to study, weren’t you?快说来听听，我上一次见到你的时候，你正准备去出国留学呢，是不是？
A: Yes, I guess I was. But as it turned out, I changed my mind. I decided not to go after all.是，我想是的。但现在有了变化，我最终还是决定不去了
B: Oh, really? But if I remember correctly, you were intent on going to California. Whatever made you change your mind? I thought you were accepted to Stanford.
哦，是吗？如果我没记错的话，你当时是要去加利福尼亚。是什么使你改变主意的？我记得你是被斯坦福大学录取了
A: Well, it’s a long story, and I don’t want to bore you with all the details. But what it boils down to is that I decided that going to Stanford wasn’t a very good idea. I decided to go to Beijing University instead. I want to save my money and start my own business after graduation.说来话长。那些细节我就不赘述了。最后的结果是，我觉得去斯坦福读书不太明智。我打算去北大。这样，把钱省下来，毕业后可以自己开一家公司
