克里斯托尔：相比于当老师来说，我更喜欢做学生。

George: Why?

乔治：为什么？

Crystal: Because I think being a student is more fun rather than being a teacher such as ... examples as in classes if you're a student you can have the right to go to class or skip but if you're a teacher you have the responsibility to teach so you have to go to class.

克里斯托尔：因为我认为做学生比当老师更有乐趣，就上课来说，学生有权去上课或逃课，但是如果是老师，因为承担着教学责任，所以必须去上课。
