On my way back from your place yesterday, Jiao Tong called.

Then this kid’s hopes flared up again.
然后这个小朋友又燃起了熊熊的希望
He wants to ask you: since it’s still dentistry, is it okay to go study dentistry at Jiao Tong?
他问你，一样是学牙医，去学交大的牙医行不行?
Hmm, how are the entry scores for the first year of Jiao Tong’s dentistry program? Is it one of the most competitive majors at Jiao Tong, or middle to lower?
嗯，这个交大的一大一算是分数怎么样？在这个交大的专业里面是特别靠前呢，还是中游那儿靠后?
The medical school has the lowest entry scores among all Jiao Tong’s majors.
医学院在交大所有的专业里面是最后的
I think his score is too risky to get into Jiao Tong’s main campus, but getting into the medical school should be no big problem.
他这个分数进交大本部我觉得很危险，
但是进医学院，我觉得是没什么大问题
The Jiao Tong teacher called again.
交大的老师又打电话来了

What did they say?
说啥
Client
It’s confirmed. They told us to apply for their natural sciences program. I’ll go back and look into it.
打好了，让我们去报他们的自然科学，
我回去研究一下
I’ll go back and look into it. I don’t know yet either.
我回去研究一下，我也不知道
Zongyuan
Alright. Sounds like a mix of biology and medicine.
行 听着像是生物和医疗结合的
Client
From what he said, there’s no subject group restriction — both arts and science students can apply. He told us to apply for the unrestricted subject group.
听他的意思，就不限组，就是文理都
能报的。他让我们报不限速
组
Because the science and engineering programs have higher score requirements.
因为理工科的分数比较高
I’ll go back and look into it.
我回去研究一下
Zongyuan
Got it.
