托福TPO/Official 60 Con1听力原文According to the student, why do some people have their windows open in her building?【新东方在线】

旁白：听一段学生和宿舍管理员之间的对话。

Narrator: Listen to a conversation between a student and a building manager.

管理员：希望你不是又来提窗户的事儿吧。

Manager: I hope you're not here about your window again.

管理员：我还以为之前已经解决了呢。那窗户打不开，对吧？

Manager: I thought we fixed that. It wouldn't open, right?

学生：对。记得有一次一个施工队在我的房间里粉刷墙壁，结果把窗户给漆住了。后来消防检查员说，窗户打不开是违规的。

Student: Right. Remember there was a crew painting my room and they painted it shut and the fire inspector said that a window that doesn't open is a violation?

管理员：但是我昨天派了一名工作人员去查看了，他说他已经修好了。

Manager: But I had one of my staff take a look at it yesterday and he said he'd repaired it.

学生：是啊，你知道这栋宿舍楼供暖不均匀，而我的房间在建筑的朝阳面。

Student: Yeah, I mean, you know how this dormitory doesn't heat evenly, and I'm on the hot side of the building.

白天的时候，房间里会变得特别热。很多人为了平衡室温都会打开窗户让外面的凉气进来。

During the day, it can get really warm. A lot of people open their windows to let cold air in and balance it out.

学生：不管怎样，我只是把窗户打开了一条小缝，但现在它完全卡住了，根本关不上。

Student: Anyway, I opened it just a crack, but now it's completely stuck, and I can't get it closed at all.

就连我的朋友鲍勃也试过帮忙关上窗户，他可是摔跤队的队员，连他都没办法。

Even had my friend Bob tried to close it, and he's on the wrestling team. Even he couldn't get it closed.

管理员：你是说你整晚都开着窗户睡觉？为什么没有打电话给保安人员？

Manager: You mean you slept with an open window all night? Why didn't you call the security staff?

学生：因为我回来得比较晚，实际上已经是深夜了。

Student: Well, I came home kind of late, and frankly, it was like way after hours.

我考虑过打电话给保安，但最后还是算了。不过一晚上这样的寒冷就已经够呛了。

I thought about calling security, then I just let it go. But one night of that cold is enough.

管理员：无论如何，你应该随时联系保安。即使他们自己无法解决问题，也会确保问题得到解决。

Manager: Well, you should always call security. Even if they can't fix the problem themselves, they'll make sure the problem gets solved.

学生：好的，我会记住的。但实际上不只是窗户的问题，我还觉得房间里的暖气设备好像也有问题。

Student: OK, I'll remember that. But actually it's not just the window. I think there's something wrong with the heating thing in my room, the radiator?

看起来好像是裂开了，因为我发现房间里有一滩水。而且现在暖气几乎不起作用了。

It must have cracked or something, because I just noticed a puddle of water in my room. And the heat barely seems to be working now.

管理员：所以你现在告诉我，你的房间里没暖气，窗户也关不上？

Manager: So you're telling me you have no heat and a window that doesn't close?

Manager: Well, this won't be a quick fix, I'm afraid.

那些暖气片都很旧了，修起来不容易，就算我们今天能修好窗户，你也无法住在一间没有暖气的房间里。

Those radiators, they're old and they're not easy to fix, and even if we repair the window today, you can't live in a room without any heat.

学生：你的意思是我要搬出去住？

Student: You mean I'm gonna have to move?

管理员：至少暂时要搬到别处住，直到我们能把暖气片修好或换掉。而这并不是一天两天就能完成的工作。

Manager: At least temporarily, until we can get that radiator fixed or replaced. And that's not a one-day job.

学生：我不这么认为。你能看到水是从哪里渗出来的，而且水看起来有点锈色。

Student: I don't think so. You can kind of see where it's seeping out. And the water looks sort of rusty.

管理员：锈色？嗯，出现锈色可不是好事。这样吧，我现在就去看看

Manager: Rusty? Yeah, rusty isn't good. Tell you what, I'll go look at it right away.

管理员：不如你吃过午饭后再回来？那时我应该就知道修理需要多长时间了。

Manager: Why don't you come back after lunch? By then I should know how long the repairs will take.

学生：你现在能不能给我个大概的时间？我想给一个朋友打电话。她在校外有套公寓。

Student: Can you give me some idea now? I'm gonna call a friend. She's got an apartment off campus.

她让我过去住，但是……我想她想知道大概要忍受我多久。

She'll let me stay there but...I'm sure she'd like some idea of how long she'll have to put up with me.

管理员：明天是周五，如果需要更换暖气片的话——很可能需要——那么零件最早也要到周一才能到货。

Manager: Well, tomorrow's Friday, and if the radiator needs to be replaced, which it probably does, we won't have parts before Monday.

According to the student, why do some people have their windows open in her building?

Why does the student mention her friend Bob?

What does the student imply when she talks about moving to an off-campus apartment?

What does the man imply when he says this:
