托福TPO/Official 68 Con1听力原文What reason does the student give for missing an appointment with his professor?【新东方在线】

旁白：请听一段学生和历史系行政助理的对话。学生：嗨！我是Randy Beecham，我真的需要和Clark教授马上谈一下。您能帮我找一下她吗？

Narrator: Listen to a conversation between a student and an administrative assistant in the History department. Student:Hi i'm i'm, i'm, Randy Beecham. I really need to speak with professor Clark right away. Could you get me into see her?

助手：她现在正主考口语考试，我不能打扰她。考试是今天早八点开始的，而且要进行一天。

Assistant:Well, she is conducting oral exams right now, I can't interrupt her. The exams began at 8:00 this morning and are scheduled to go on all day.

学生：但是我应该参加今天早九点的考试，我不晓得发生了什么事情，我的闹铃没响，我睡过头了。

Student:But I was supposed to take my oral at 9 this morning, and well I don't know what happened, my alarm clock didn't go off for some reason and I overslept.

学生：我知道很令人尴尬，当我睁眼已经9:30了，我用最快的速度赶到这。

Student:I know it's like, really embarrassing, when I open my eyes and saw with already 9:30 I just got here as fast as I could.

助手：因为你没有按规定时间出现，教授很可能考虑你缺勤。

Assistant:Well，since you didn’t show up your schedule time. The professor would probably consider it an unauthorized absence.

恐怕会自动导致你的这部分考试不及格。

I’m afraid that it will translate into an automatic failing grade for that portion of the exam.

学生：噢，不。我准备的很好，熬一整夜来复习。有没有可能我重新预订考试时间？

Student:Oh no, and I was so prepared, I stayed up all night studying. Is there any way I can maybe reschedule it？

助手：我不晓得该如何跟你讲Randy。如我刚才所讲，Clark教授会一直主考到今天下午四点钟，明天也会考一整天，而且周末也如此。

Assistant:I don't know what to tell you Randy. As I said professor Clark will be examining students to four o'clock today and all day tomorrow, then it’s the weekend.

学生：周一早上，我第一个考试怎么样？

Student:What about like, first thing Monday morning？

助手：不，周一不可能。明天考试周就结束了，主任是按照学校规定要求此事的，教授没这个权限。

Assistant:No, Monday is not possible, exam week ends tomorrow when the dean, it's the dean who says the university’s rules on these matters, you know, not the professors.

主任在特殊情况下，给予考试延期这件事上是非常严格的。

The dean is very strict about granting extensions except under extraordinary circumstances.

学生：我猜闹钟坏了应该不属于特殊情况。

Student:Um, so, I guess the defect of alarm clock wouldn’t account as extraordinary, huh.

助手：我们谈的是生病或者无法避免的冲突时间，例如你在相同时间有另外一科的考试。

Assistant:I'm afraid we’re talking something more on the order of illness or if you had an unavoidable conflict, like an exam in another class schedule for the same time.

但是你知道，考试周还尚未结束，也许和克拉克教授谈谈是值得的，她或许能找到解决办法。

But you know, since exam week isn't over yet, it probably would be worthwhile trying to speak with professor Clark, she might be able to find a solution.

学生：您看，口试只有半小时的时间，你认为她今天下午愿意留晚一点，或者明天早一点来吗?

Student:You now, the oral part of the exams only an half hour long, do you think she’d be willing to stay later this afternoon or coming a little early tomorrow ?

助手：我确信她这样做最好，但是我不能代表她讲话。

Assistant:I'm sure should do her best. But I can't speak for her of course.

学生：但我不能整天等着她。你认为她会休息去吃午饭吗?

Student:But I can't just stick around all day waiting for her. Do you think she will be breaking for a lunch.

助手：为了她好，希望如此。让我再查一下她的日程安排。

Assistant:Well, I hope so for her sake, let me check her schedule again.

她到中午能拿到学生的时间表，然后下午考试开始前她有一小时的休息时间。所以，是的，她显然打算休息一下吃个午饭。

Well, she's got student’s schedules to noon, then she has one hour break before the afternoon exams schedule begins. So yes, she apparently does plan to break for lunch.

学生：好的，我中午再回来，如果你能见到她，请告诉她我来过，而且非常抱歉考试迟到。

Student:Okay, why don't I come back at noon then, but if you happen to see her in the meantime, would you please say I was here and that I'm really sorry I was late for my exam.
