托福TPO/Official 27 Con 1听力原答案解析-音频翻译【新东方在线】

旁白：听一段在图书馆服务台的对话。

Narrator: Listen to part of a conversation at the information desk in the library.

图书管理员：我可以帮你点什么？

学生：除了在电脑上，我还可以去哪里找关于新西兰的书？

Student: Where do I go, besides the computers, to look for books on New Zealand?

图书管理员：好的。你的意思是你不想使用电脑？

Librarian: OK. You mean you don't want to use the computer?

学生：我在这里的电脑上运气着实不佳。

Student: Well, I haven't had any luck on the computers here.

图书管理员：好的，我问你的原因是你还是很需要通过电脑去发现书是在哪里的。

Librarian: OK. I mean the reason I am asking is you pretty much have to go to the computer to find out where a book is.

如果你喜欢的话，我可以用电脑帮你查一下。

But I can help you find it on the computer if you like.

我刚花了半小时，但是我什么也没找到。

I just spent half an hour and I couldn't find anything.

图书管理员：我知道你是怎么感觉的。

当我第一次在这里工作的时候，我也什么东西都找不到。

When I first started working here, I couldn't find anything either.

所以，你是在找关于新西兰的信息，对吗？

So you are looking for information on New Zealand, is that right?

图书管理员：你找的是类似旅游信息的内容吗？

Librarian: Is it like travel information that you are looking for?

学生：不。我找的是新西兰火山的信息。

Student: Uh, no. Actually what I am looking for is information on a volcano in New Zealand.

图书管理员：好的。因为我认识一个在新西兰和澳大利亚专注于观光的旅行社。

Librarian: Oh. OK. Because I know a travel agency that specializes in tours in New Zealand and Australia.

学生：哦，我很想去。我听说那里很漂亮。

Student: Oh. I'd love to go. I heard it's beautiful.

图书管理员：好的，让我看看……

如果你想在图书馆藏中找，但是不知道作者的名字或者具体的书名或文章的标题，你必须设置一个关键字查询。

If you want to search the library holdings and don't know the author's name or the exact title of the book or an article, you have to set up a keyword search.

然后你能够打一些关键字，让电脑来搜索。

Then you can just type in some keywords and let the computer do the search.

图书管理员：好的。噢，我们搜索一下火山和新西兰怎么样？

Librarian: OK. Oh, how about if we search for volcanoes and New Zealand?

图书管理员：这是为地质学课程找的？

图书管理员：那你肯定是上辛普森教授的课。

Librarian: Ha! You must be from Professor Simpson's class.

图书管理员：好吧，他是个火山专家，所以我认为他可能教授你的课。

Librarian: Oh. Well, he is a volcano expert, so I thought he might be teaching your class.

学生：不，尽管我听说过他真的很棒。

Student: No, I've heard he is really good though.

图书管理员：是的，每个人都那么说。

Librarian: Yeah. That's what everyone says.

图书管理员：你可以拼写一下吗？

图书管理员：好的，鲁阿佩胡火山。让我看看。

图书管理员：让我猜猜，你必须要上科学课程，但是你不想上生物、化学、物理学之类的课。

Librarian: Let me guess, you have to take a science course and you don't want to have to deal with biology, chemistry or physics.

学生：是的。但是它还是一个挺有意思的课程。

Student: Exactly. But it's actually turned out to be a pretty interesting class.

学生：不一定是说，随便哪一个都可以。

Student: Mhmm, no, either one would be fine.

图书管理员：好的，这里有一篇期刊论文。

Librarian: OK. Well, here's a journal article.

让我查查我们有没有这篇论文，

OK. We have the article, but it is from 2001.

Student: Well, I'd like to have a look at it.

我的重点其实是在过去5年的喷发，但是它可能是一些有用的背景资料。

The focus is really on eruptions in the last five years, but it might have some useful background material.

图书管理员：好的，让我看看我们还能找到些什么。

Librarian: OK. Well, let's see what else we can find.

Why does the woman go to the information desk?

Why does the man assume that the woman is in professor Simpson's class?

What can be inferred about the geology courses the woman is taking?

What topic does the woman need information on?

What does the man imply about the article when he says this:

Conversation1-In the Library 
Narrator 
Listen to part of a conversation at the information desk in the library. 
Librarian 
Hi. Can I help you? 
Student 
Where do I go, besides the computers, to look for books on New Zealand? 
Librarian 
OK. You mean you don’t want to use the computer? 
Student 
Well, I haven’t had any luck on the computers here. 
Librarian 
OK. I mean the reason I am asking is you pretty much have to go to the computer to find out where a book is. But I can help you find it on the computer if you like. 
Student 
That would be great. I just spent half an hour and I couldn’t find anything. 
Librarian 
I know how you feel. When I first started working here, I couldn’t find anything either. So you are looking for information on New Zealand, is that right? 
Student 
Yes. 
Librarian 
Is it like travel information that you are looking for? 
Student 
Uh… No. Actually what I am looking for is information on a volcano in New Zealand. 
Librarian 
Oh. OK. Because I know a travel agency that specializes in tours in New Zealand and Australia. 
Student 
Oh. I’d love to go. I heard it’s beautiful. 
Librarian 
Yeah. 
Student 
Maybe someday. 
Librarian 
Yup. OK. Let’s see … OK. If you want to search the library holdings and don’t know the author’s name or the exact title of the book or an article, you have to set up a keyword search. It is a special function. Then you can just type in some keywords and let the computer do the search. 
Student 
I see. 
Librarian 
OK. Oh, how about if we search for volcanoes and New Zealand. 
Student 
Sounds good. 
Librarian 
It’s for a geology class? 
Student 
Mhmm. 
Librarian 
Ha! You must be from Professor Simpson’s class. 
Student 
No. 
Librarian 
Oh. Well, he is a volcano expert, so I thought he might be teaching your class. 
Student 
No, I’ve heard he is really good though. 
Librarian 
Yeah. That’s what everyone says. Do you know the name of the volcano? 
Student 
Mount Ruapehu. 
Librarian 
Can you spell that? 
Student 
Sure. It is R-U-A-P-E-H-U. 
Librarian 
OK. Mount Ruapehu. Let’s see. So are you a geology major? 
Student 
Hem. Hardly. 
Librarian 
Let me guess, you have to take a science course and you don’t want to have to deal with biology, chemistry or physics. 
Student 
Exactly. But it’s actually turned out to be a pretty interesting class. 
Librarian 
Well, that’s good. Um… does it have to be a book? Or could you use a journal article? 
Student 
Mhmm… no, either one would be fine. 
Librarian 
OK. Well, here’s a journal article. Let me check to see if we have it. OK. We have the article, but it is from 2001. Is that OK, you think? 
Student 
Well, I’d like to have a look at it. The focus is really on eruptions in the last five years, but it might have some useful background material.

OK. Well, let’s see what else we can find.
