Cosa hai studiato all’università? 

 What did you study at university?
Ho studiato ingegneria. 

 I studied engineering.
Davvero? Era difficile? 

 Really? Was it difficult?
Sì, era molto difficile. 

 Yes, it was really difficult.
Meno male che ce l’hai fatta. Ti piace essere un ingegnere? 

 Thanks god that you did it. Do you like being an engineer?
A dire il vero non mi piace. Volevo essere un dottore. 

 To be honest I don't like it. I wanted to be a doctor.
E perché non hai scelto medicina? 

 Why didn't you choose medicine?
Non sono stato accettato. E tu? 

 I wasn't accepted. And you?
Io non ho studiato all’università. Non volevo diventare un ingegnere o un dottore o qualcosa del genere, quindi non avevo una buona ragione per spendere tempo e soldi nel farla. 

 I didn't study at university. I didn't want to become an engineer or a doctor or anything like that, therefore I had no good reason to spend time and money on doing it.
Capisco. Di sicuro avevi i tuoi buoni motivi. 

 I see. Surely you had your good reasons.
