Peter：Mark Twain himself was a self-educated man. And it shows. In my opinion, the smartest and most interesting people tend to be self-taught. 馬克吐溫他自己本身就是個自學者。這點很明顯。依我看來，最聰明、最有趣的人往往都是靠自學。
Cindy：But Peter,experience is no substitute for getting a degree. In this world, if you don't have the credentials,you can't even get in the door. 不過，彼得，經驗並不能取代學歷。在這世界上，如果你沒有文憑的話，你根本一點機會都沒有。
Peter： I have a different viewpoint. Look at Tom Sawyer. He hardly ever went to school, and look at all of the things that he learned. 我有不同的看法。看看頑童湯姆，他幾乎都沒去上學，而你瞧他學了那麼多東西。
Cindy：I see your point, but you need to remeber that Tom Sawyer was written over a hundred years ago. Life is different now. 我了解你的意思，但是你不要忘了湯姆歷險記是一百年以前寫的。現在的生活方式已經大不相同了。
