考证

(kǎozhènɡ) 

A: A friend of mine who is studying the law is going to take a law exam this year. I hope he can pass without any trouble. Every night he studies until 2 am and then the next day gets up at 6 am to keep studying.

我有个学法律的朋友,今年第二次考司法考试了。希望他能顺利通过。他每天晚上复习到2点睡觉,第二天早上6点起来继续看书。

(wǒ yǒuɡè xué fǎlǜ de pénɡyǒu, jīnnián dìèrcì kǎo sīfǎ kǎoshì le. xīwànɡ tānénɡ shùnlì tōnɡɡuò. tā měitiān wǎnshànɡ fùxí dào liǎngdiǎn shuìjiào, dìèrtiān zǎoshànɡ liùdiǎn qǐlái jìxù kànshū.) 

B: In order to get her accounting license, my sister also spent several months in the library. 

我姐姐为了考会计师资格证,也是连着好几个月泡在图书馆。

(wǒ jiějiě wéile kǎo kuàijìshī zīɡé zhènɡ, yěshì liánzhe hǎojǐɡè yuè pàozài túshūɡuǎn.)

A: It's funny. In order to get all sorts of licenses, we end up studying even more as adults than as students.

说来好笑,为了考各种证,我们成年以后反而比学生时代更热爱学习了。

(shuōlái hǎoxiào, wèi le kǎo ɡèzhǒnɡ zhènɡ, wǒmén chénɡnián yǐhòu fǎnér bǐ xuéshēnɡ shídài ɡènɡ rèài xuéxí le.)

B: Yup, all to make a living.

对,都是为了谋生。

(duì, dōushì wèile móushēnɡ.)
