Script:
Narrator:Listen to a conversation between a student and an employee at the university art museum.
独白:听下面一段学生和大学艺术博物馆职员的对话。
Student:Hi, is Mason around?
你好,梅森在吗?
Employee:No, sorry he’s gone for the day. Can I help you with something?
雇员:不，抱歉，他今天出去了。我能帮你什么忙吗?
Student:Well, I hope so. See, I’m supposed to start volunteering as a tour guide on Monday. I’m scheduled to give a tour at ten. I did my first volunteer training session with Mason the other day, and I was supposed to have the second session tomorrow afternoon, which is the last one you guys offer this week, right?
嗯,我希望如此。看，我应该在周一开始做导游。我计划10点钟去旅游。前几天我和梅森做了第一次志愿者训练，明天下午我要参加第二场，这是你们这周最后一次参加的活动，对吧?
Employee:Yes, it is. In fact, it’s the last one we have scheduled for this semester.
职员:是的,它是。事实上，这是我们这学期最后一个计划。
Student:Yeah, that’s what I was afraid of. So I don’t know what to do because I’m signed up to give that tour on Monday and it turns out I have to make up a test tomorrow afternoon.
学生:是的，这就是我害怕的。所以我不知道该怎么做，因为我报名参加了周一的旅行，结果我明天下午要做一个测试。
Employee: Well, yes, that is a problem, I’m afraid, because we do require two training sessions before you’re allowed to start giving tours.
雇员:是的，恐怕这是个问题，因为我们需要两个培训课程才能开始参观。
Student:Yeah, I know, I was hoping maybe I could work something out with Mason. He gave us his home number at the original training session, but I am not sure where I put it. Could you possibly give it again?
学生:是的，我知道，我希望我能和梅森一起工作。他在最初的训练课上给了我们他的家庭号码，但我不确定我把它放在哪里了。你能再给我一次吗?
Employee:Well, no. I am not allowed to give out employees’ phone numbers. It wouldn’t do you any good, anyway. Mason can’t waive that training requirement any more than I can. But I can sign you up for the first session next semester and you could start giving tours then.
员工:嗯,没有。我不允许透露员工的电话号码。反正也不会有什么好处。梅森不能放弃我的训练要求。但是我可以在下学期的第一节课上给你签名，然后你就可以开始参观了。
Student:That’s too late. Not that I wouldn’t want to do tours next semester. I mean, I do want to keep doing it. It’s just that, see I really need to start this semester. My art history professor is giving me a chance to bring my grade up. He said that I could get extra credit if I wrote a paper for him and volunteered here at the art museum.
学生:那太迟了。不是说我下学期不想去参观了。我是说，我想继续做下去。就是这样，这学期我真的需要开始了。我的美术历史教授给了我一个提升成绩的机会。他说，如果我为他写一篇论文，并在艺术博物馆自告奋勇，我可以得到额外的学分。
Employee:Is this Professor Tyler’s class?
员工:这是泰勒教授的课吗?
Student:Uh-huh.
学生:嗯。
Employee:Yeah, I thought so. You’re not the first student that he’s sent our way. Look, did he specify that it had to be a tour guide?
职员:是的,我这样认为。你不是他派来的第一个学生。听着，他有没有说明必须是一名导游?
Student:Well, not exactly. I just thought…
嗯,不完全是。我只是觉得…
Employee:Because believe me, we could use you in other capacities.
雇员:因为相信我，我们可以用你的其他能力。
Student:Really?
学生:真的吗?
Employee:Well, it’s not as glamorous as being a tour guide, but we always need people to work in the museum gift shop, or how are you with data entry, data processing, stuff like that?
工作人员:嗯，没有导游的魅力，但我们总是需要人们在博物馆的礼品店工作，或者你如何处理数据录入、数据处理之类的工作?
Student:Pretty good, actually.
Employee:Because we desperately someone right away to help us keep our membership list up to date, work on our monthly newsletter, things like that. Sounds kind of boring I know, but after you’ve had some experience, it could lead to a paid position.
Student:Well, that’d certainly be a plus. Tell you what? Let me just check with Professor Tyler, make sure it’s alright with him and I will get back to you sometime tomorrow, okay?
Employee:Okay, great!
