  Tammy: A student there lost a bet on the NBA finals and then ran naked across the football field.

  Bruce: Good for him. At least he lived up to his end of the bet, right?

  Tammy: True enough, but the university head seems to value image over honesty.

  Bruce: So he got into big trouble?

  Tammy: Yep. Two major demerits and two minor demerits.

  Bruce: Does that go on his report card or something?

  Tammy: No, but if he makes one false move, he could be expelled from the university just like that.

  Bruce: Maybe we should organize a naked protest.

  Tammy: That sounds like a good way to get yourself deported.

  塔米:那里的一个学生赌输了NBA总冠军赛的赌注,然后就裸奔跑足球场。

  布鲁斯:真有他的。至少他实践了赌输的承诺,对吧?

  塔米:的确如此,但是那所大学的校长似乎把形象看得比诚信还重。

  布鲁斯:所以他惹上大麻烦?

  塔米:对呀。两大过两小过。

  布鲁斯:那会记录在他的成绩单上或诸如此类吗?

  塔米:不会,但是万一他出错一次,他就可能会直接被那所大学退学。

  布鲁斯:或许我们应该组织一个裸体抗议。

  塔米:那听来是个让你自己被驱逐出境的好方法。

  重点解说:

  Good for him. 真有他的。他真行。

  live up to 实践

  head 校长,领导人。university head就是大学校长

  value A over B 把A的价值看得比B还高

  demerit 过失

  report card 成绩单

  false 错误的

  just like that 就像那样,指直接了当,一下子
