托福TPO/Official 61 Con2听力原文Why does the student mention a friend who lives in another dormitory?【新东方在线】

旁白：听一段学生与住宿办公室员工之间的对话。

Narrator:  Listen to a conversation between a student and an employee in the housing office.

员工：准备退房了吗？只需要交回钥匙就行了。

MALE EMPLOYEE: Ready to check out? I'll just need your key.

学生：实际上，遇到了点问题，所以我现在还没退房。

FEMALE STUDENT: Actually, there was a problem, so I'm not checking out yet.

员工：好的。记得你必须在今天下午4点前搬离宿舍。

MALE EMPLOYEE: Ok.Remember you have to clear out of your dorm by 4 pm today.

学生：好的，但问题是，我刚从住宿办公室收到了几张罚款单，说我需要支付这些罚款。

FEMALE STUDENT: Ok, but the thing is, I just got a couple of fines from the housing office that I'm supposed to pay.

员工：是的，我们昨天下午才进行了检查。

MALE EMPLOYEE: Yeah, we just did inspections yesterday afternoon.

学生：好的。但我并不完全同意这些罚款。

FEMALE STUDENT: Ok. But I don't really agree with the fines.

所以我想来这儿看看您能否帮我理解到底发生了什么。以及我真的需要支付它们吗？

So I wanted to come here and see if you can help me understand what's going on. And if I really need to pay them.

员工：好的，也许我能帮忙。那么，具体是因为什么原因被罚款呢？

MALE EMPLOYEE: Ok, maybe I can help. So why exactly were you fined?

学生：嗯，一方面，我有个非常邋遢的室友，所以我们的宿舍状况并不是很好，所以……

FEMALE STUDENT: Well,for one thing, I had a really messy roommate, so the dorm room wasn't exactly in great condition, so…

员工：我知道这可能看起来不公平，但是政策规定两位室友都要对宿舍的状态负责。

MALE EMPLOYEE: I know it may seem unfair, but the policy is that both roommates are responsible for the condition of the dormitory room.

学校制定这项政策是因为过去有很多情况，双方都不承认损坏，导致我们难以解决这些问题。

The university has this policy because there were so many cases in the past where neither person would admit to damages, making it hard for us to resolve these situations.

双方都需承担责任。即使你的室友才是那个把房间弄乱的人。

Both parties are responsible. So even if your roommate was the one who messed the room up.

学生：好吧。虽然我不认为这是世界上最公平的政策，但它确实有道理。我会支付那笔罚款的。没问题。

FEMALE STUDENT: Ok. Well, I'm not sure that's the fairest policy in the world, but it makes sense. So I'll pay that fine. No problem.

员工：好的。还有其他问题吗？

MALE EMPLOYEE: Ok. So was there something else?

学生：对，真正的问题是另一张关于丢失家具——一把椅子的罚款。

FEMALE STUDENT: Right. The real problem is with another fine for a piece of missing furniture, a chair.

员工：如果有件家具不见了，学校会向你收取费用的。

MALE EMPLOYEE: Well, yeah. If there's a piece of furniture missing, the university is going to have to charge you for that.

学生：但是实际情况是，我从未有过一把椅子。我从休息室借了一把用了一年，并且昨天早上还回去了。

FEMALE STUDENT:But the thing is, I never had a chair. I borrowed one from the lounge for the year and then returned it yesterday morning.

我有个住在另一栋楼的朋友，他的宿舍也少了一把椅子，但他并没有收到罚款。

You know.  I have a friend who lives in another building and his dorm room also had a chair missing, but he didn't get a fine.

员工：好的，但你们的情况可能有所不同。

MALE EMPLOYEE: Okay. But there might be differences between your situation and your friends'.

您有没有告诉您的楼层管理员您的宿舍缺少一把椅子？

Did you let your floor supervisor know that you had a missing chair?

学生：我在搬进来的那天就告诉过她。

FEMALE STUDENT: I told her about it the day I moved in.

员工：她填写表格了吗？你应该会收到一份副本。

MALE EMPLOYEE: Did she fill out a form about this? You would have gotten a copy.

员工：好的，我认为这就是为什么会出现这个问题的原因了。

MALE EMPLOYEE: Ok. I think this is why we're having a problem here.

我们需要有关于您的宿舍缺少一把椅子的书面记录。仅仅告知楼层管理员是不够的...

We need to have a paper record that your dorm room was missing a chair. Just telling the floor supervisor...

学生：但老实说，我怎么知道这点？有人必须填写表格？

FEMALE STUDENT: But honestly, I was expected to know that? That someone had to fill out a form?

员工：实际上，当你告知楼层管理员您的宿舍缺少一把椅子时，应该是她的责任将表格提供给您。

MALE EMPLOYEE: No, actually it was the responsibility of the floor supervisor to get that form to you when you informed her that your dorm room was missing a chair.

学生：啊，好的。那这个罚款呢？

FEMALE STUDENT: Ah, ok. So what about the fine?

员工：好吧，我得跟我的经理谈谈，但我想你可能不需要支付这笔罚款。

MALE EMPLOYEE: Well, I'm gonna have to talk to my manager, but I guess you're not going to have to pay that fine.

别把这个写死，但我估计你应该不用交这个罚款，楼层管理员也有他们的职责。

Don't write this in stone, but i'd imagine you're going to be okay. Floor supervisors have responsibilities, too.
