托福TPO/Official 7 Con 1 听力原答案解析-音频翻译【新东方在线】

旁白：请听一段教授和学生的对话。

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

艾瑞克：嗨，马森教授，能和您聊几句吗？

Eric: Hi, Professor Mason, do you have a minute?

其实我也正有事情想和你谈呢。

I think there was something I wanted to talk to you about too.

艾瑞克：是关于我晚交论文的事吧。

Actually it was my computer that lost it, the first draft of it.

不管怎么样，我昨天还是放在您的邮箱里了。

And, well, anyway, I finally put it in your mailbox yesterday.

教授：哦，我还有没查看我的邮箱呢。

Prof: Oh, and I haven't checked the mailbox yet today.

其实如果您愿意的话，我也可以通过电子邮件给您发送一份。

Say, I can send it to you by email too if you like.

教授：太好了。我还真想看看写的如何。

Prof: Great. I'll be interested to see how it all came out.

艾瑞克：呵呵，那个，我刚听到一些毕业生在讨论，说一些关于为亚当斯院长的晚会？

Eric: Right. Now, um, I just overheard some graduate students’ talking, something about a party for Dean Adams?

教授：退休晚会？是的。所有学生都被邀请参加。

Prof: Retirement party? Yes, all students are invited.

在人类学系的公告栏上难道没有通知吗？

Wasn't there a notice on the Anthropology Department's bulletin board?

艾瑞克：啊，这个我还不知道。

But I want to offer the help out with it.

我上了几次亚当斯院长的人类学课程，简直太好了，让我很有启发。

Dean Adams, well, I took a few anthropology classes with her and they were great, inspiring.

教授：噢，你真是太好了。艾瑞克。但是这次活动比较低调，不会很隆重。

Prof: Oh, that's very thoughtful of you, Eric, but it will be pretty low-key, nothing flashy.

艾瑞克：那就什么都不需要准备了？

教授：我们会准备咖啡啊、饼干啊，可能还会有蛋糕。

Prof: No, we'll have coffee and cookies, maybe a cake.

而几个行政助理已经在着手准备了。

But actually a couple of the administrative assistants are working on that.

你可以问问他们，但是我觉得他们基本能搞定。

You could ask them but I think they've got it covered.

教授：呃，其实这和晚会没啥关系，而且我想你更乐意花时间去做更有意思的事情。

Prof: Well, it's nothing to do with the party and I'm sure there are more exciting ways that you could spend your time.

为人类学教职员工们出版的文章资料库做整合工作。

We’re compiling a database of articles the anthropology faculty has published.

虽说不是什么特别能获得荣耀的事情，我们却真的希望有一些人类学知识背景的人参与进来。

There is not much glory in it, but we are looking for someone with some knowledge of anthropology who can enter the articles.

But I don't suppose this is something you would...

I would like to see what they are writing about.

And there are also some unpublished studies.

你知道亚当斯院长在印度尼西亚做了很多实地考察工作吗？

Did you know Dean Adams did a lot of field research in Indonesia?

教授：呃，她真的是很多才多艺啊。

她刚在印度尼西亚花了几个月的时间研究了社会互动，而且她在生态学也很有影响。

She just spent several months studying social interactions in Indonesia and she's been influential in ethnology.

噢，她还在美国南部做过工作。

Oh, and she's also done work in south of America.

与生物学比较接近，尤其是物种形成。

This is closer to biology, especially with speciation.

艾瑞克：啊，这个我不太了解。

教授：呃，物种是如何形成的？

你知道，两种不同的生物从一个物种进化而来。

You know, how two distinct species form from one.

像当相同生物的种群彼此隔离开来时，然后就会向着两个不同的方向发展，从而形成两种截然不同的生物。

Like when populations of the same species are isolated from each other and then develop into two different directions and end up as two distinct species.

教授：是啊。当她在美国南部的时候，她收集了大量的语言学及声音的信息，简直棒极了。

Prof: Yes, and while she was there in South America, she collected a lot of linguistic information and songs, really fascinating.

艾瑞克：哎，我真的不想她退休。

她还有许多未完成的项目在做呢。

She's got lots of projects that she's still in the middle of.

Why does the man go to see the professor?

How did the man learn about Dean Adams' retirement?

Why does the professor refuse the man's offer to help with a party?

Why does the professor talk about speciation?

Narrator 
Listen to a conversation between a student and a professor. 
Eric: Hi, Professor Mason, do you have a minute? 
Pro: Yeah, of course, Eric. I think there was something I wanted to talk to you about too. 
Eric: Probably my late essay. 
Pro: Ah, that must be it. I thought maybe I’ve lost it. 
Eric: No, I'm sorry. Actually it was my computer that lost it, the first draft of it. And, well, anyway, I finally put it in your mailbox yesterday. 
Pro: Oh, and I haven't checked the mailbox yet today. Well, I'm glad it's there. I will read it this weekend. 
Eric: Well, sorry again. Say, I can send it to you by email too if you like. 
Pro: Great. I'll be interested to see how it all came out. 
Eric: Right. Now, um, I just have overheard some graduate students’ talking, something about a party for Dean Adams? 
Pro: Retirement party, yes, all students are invited. Wasn't there notice on the Anthropology Department's bulletin board? 
Eric: Uh, I don't know. But I want to offer help out with it. You know whatever you need. Dean Adams, well, I took a few anthropology classes with her and they were great, inspiring. That's why I want to pitch in.

Pro: Oh, that's very thoughtful of you, Eric, but it will be pretty low-key, nothing flashy. That's not her style. 
Eric: So there's nothing? 
Pro: No, we'll have coffee and cookies, maybe a cake. But actually a couple of the administrative assistants are working on that. You could ask them but I think they've got covered. 
Eric: Ok. 
Pro: Actually, oh, no, never mind. 
Eric: What's it? 
Pro: Well, it's nothing to do with the party and I'm sure there are more exciting ways that you could spend your time. 
But we do need some help with something. We’re compiling a database of articles the anthropology faculty has published. 
There is not much glory in it, but we are looking for someone with some knowledge of anthropology who can enter the articles. I hesitate to mention it. But I don't suppose this is something you would... 
Eric: No, that sounds kind of cool. I would like to see what they are writing about. 
Pro: Wonderful. And there are also some unpublished studies. Did you know Dean Adams did a lot of field research in Indonesia? Most of it hasn’t been published yet. 
Eric: No, like what? 
Pro: Well, she is really versatile. She just spent several months studying social interactions in Indonesia and she's been influential in ethnology. Oh, and she's also done work in south of America, this is closer to biology, especially with speciation. 
Eric: uh, not to seem uninformed... 
Pro: Well, how species form. You know, how two distinct species form from one. Like when populations of the same species are isolated from each other and then develop into two different directions and end up as two distinct species. 
Eric: Interesting. 
Pro: Yes, and while she was there in South America, she collected a lot of linguistic information and songs, really fascinating. 
Eric: Well. I hate to see her leave. 
Pro: Don't worry. She'll still be around. She's got lots of projects that she's still in the middle of. 
Pro: Well, it's nothing to do with the party and I'm sure there are more exciting ways that you could spend your time.
