地道美语听力播客694: 论文抄袭（双语）

Paul: All done.

保罗：都做完了。

Samantha: You’re done with your paper? How can that be? I’m just getting started.

萨曼莎：你已经做完论文了?怎么可能?我才刚开始。

Paul: I’m just a better student than you are.

保罗：相比你来说，我是个好学生。

Samantha: Let me see that. You didn’t write this.

萨曼莎：让我看看，你没有写这个?

Paul: No, I didn’t. I downloaded somebody’s paper from some website and slapped my name on it. The professor will never know. Wise up. Do you want me to find one for you?

保罗：没有，我从一些网站上下载别人的论文，然后把我的名字放上去。教授不会知道的，需要我帮你找一篇吗?

Samantha: No way! Not only is it cheating, if you get caught, you could flunk the class or get expelled.

萨曼莎：不可能，这样做不仅是欺骗，如果被抓到，你会不及格或者被开除。

Paul: Don’t be such a goody two-shoes. Everybody does it. I know a guy who pays somebody in another state to write all of his papers for him and another guy who lifts his papers from old books. Don’t tell me you’ve never paraphrased ideas from a source and represented them as your own.

保罗：别自命清高了，每个人都这样做。我知道有个男生付钱让另一个州的人代写论文，还有个从些旧书里摘抄。别告诉我你从没有这样做过：从一种原始资料中改述观点，然后作为你自己的观点。

Samantha: Are you kidding me? Borrowing ideas from a book with proper attribution is what you’re supposed to do. You, on the other hand, are plagiarizing your way to your degree.

萨曼莎：你开玩笑吗?从书中借鉴观点，然后标明出处是我们需要做的。从另一方面来说，你按照你的方式在剽窃。

Paul: Damn straight! Look who’s done with his homework and who is still working on hers.

保罗：的确，看谁帮他做工作，谁又在为她做事，我们不得而知。

Samantha: I’d rather earn what I get and know that I didn’t shortchange myself out of an education!

萨曼莎：我会做自己能力范围的事，出于所接受倒的教育，我不会自己欺骗自己。
