托福TPO/Official 60 Con2听力原文What does the professor complain about when the student arrives?【新东方在线】

旁白：听一段学生和她的法语教授之间的对话。

Narrator: Listen to a conversation between a student and her French professor.

教授：你好，南希，让你久等了，真抱歉。嗯，可真是糟糕的一天！

Professor: Hello, Nancy, sorry to keep you waiting. Hmmm, but what a morning!

我几周前就向媒体中心提交了一份电影请求，要一份《法国革命》的拷贝，我是说，真正的电影胶片，你知道吧。

I put in a film request to the Media Center weeks ago for a copy of the French revolution, I mean, the actual film reels, you know.

我以为我已经表达得很清楚了，但他们就是不明白我说的是什么。

I thought I'd made myself very clear, but they just didn't get it, what I was saying.

今天早上他们打电话告诉我，我的录像带已经准备好可以取了，录像带，真是难以置信。

So this morning they called me to say that my copy of the videotape is ready for pickup, the video, unbelievable.

学生：你是说录像带和电影胶片不一样？

Student: You mean the videotape isn't the same thing?

教授：电影？在大屏幕上用投影仪播放的实际电影胶片？

Professor: As the film? The actual film reel run on a projector shown on a large screen?

这就像白天和黑夜的区别。不，不，不，这是完全不同的体验，在大屏幕上观看原始电影与在电视上观看完全不同。

It's like day and night. No, no, no, it's a totally different experience to watch the original film on a large screen rather than on a television.

但这就像是听交响乐的录音带对比现场听乐团演奏一样。

But no, it's like listening to a tape recording of a symphony compared to hearing a live orchestra.

但我终于让媒体中心的人明白了我需要实际的电影胶片，因为我希望我的学生们能有完整的体验。

But I finally managed to make the media center people understand that I need the actual film because I’d like my students to have the full experience.

不过这并不容易，他们得从另一所学校借来，但值得庆幸的是我们周五就能拿到。

It wasn't easy though, they'll have to borrow it from another school, but thankfully we will have it by Friday.

话说回来，对不起，我们刚才说到哪儿了？你找我是为了……

Anyway, I'm sorry, where were we? You wanted to see me about?

学生：嗯，其实是为了那部电影，因为这个周五下午，也许您没意识到，这部电影被安排在家长周末期间放映。

Student: Eh, actually about that film, because this Friday afternoon, well, maybe you didn't realize it, but the film is scheduled to be shown during Parents’ Weekend.

学生：对，您知道的，家长们来看看我们的校园生活。

Student: Parents’ weekend, you know when our parents come to see what campus life is like.

教授：哦，真的吗？这个周末家长会来？不，我没听说过，但这有问题吗？

Professor: Oh really? This is the weekend parents come? No, I hadn't heard that, but is that a problem?

学生：嗯，时间有点不太巧。我的意思是那天下午我们很多人都会和父母在一起度过，而这部电影……

Student: Well, it's kind of bad timing. I mean a lot of us will be spending time with our parents that afternoon and this film...

教授：好的，但是仅仅因为你们的家长来访，并不意味着课程暂停。

Professor: Okay, but classes aren't suspended just because your parents happen to be visiting.

学生：当然不会，但我们班通常周五不上课。

Student: No, of course not. But our class doesn't usually meet on Fridays.

教授：听着，《法国大革命》是法语207的必看影片。

Professor: Look, the film is required viewing for French 207.

因为我无法在我们常规的50分钟课堂时间内安排一部一小时的电影，我知道这是临时通知，但我只有几天的时间可以使用这部电影。

And since I couldn't schedule a one-hour film during our regular 50-minute class, I know it's at short notice, but I'll only have the film for a few days.

学生：只是我已经告诉了我的父母。

Student: It's just that I already told my parents.

教授：家长周末并没有列在学术日历上。

Professor: You know, Parents’ Weekend isn't listed on the academic calendar.

教授：实际上我甚至不知道具体日期。我知道这对你们来说可能不太方便，但我不能重新安排电影放映时间。

Professor: I actually wasn't even aware of when it was. I understand this may not be convenient for you, but I couldn't possibly reschedule the film.

整件事情已经给我带来了很多麻烦。我不得不提前几周预定这部电影，而且他们还是搞错了。

The whole thing has given me enough trouble already. I had to reserve the film weeks in advance and they still got it wrong.

学生：但如果有些人来不了怎么办？还有其他时间可以看这部电影吗？

Student: But what if some of us can't make it? Is there any other time we can watch it?

教授：录像带是可以用的，但这真的很遗憾。

Professor: The videotape is available, but well, that would be a shame.

嘿，为什么不邀请你的父母和我们一起观看呢？有很多空位子。

Hey, why not invite your parents to join us? There are plenty of extra seats.

学生：但是电影不是用法语讲的吗？

教授：是的，但配有英文字幕。

Professor: Yes, but with subtitles in English.

学生：这样的话，可能会行得通。

Why does the student have a scheduling conflict on Friday?

What does the professor complain about when the student arrives?

Why does the professor mention an orchestra?

Why is the professor not aware that Parents' Weekend is scheduled for the end of this week?

What is the professor's attitude toward the student's problem?
