托福TPO/Official 43 Con 1听力原文What does the man offer to do?【新东方在线】

旁白：请听学生和一个计算机实验室管理员的对话。

Narrator: Listen to a conversation between a student and a computer lab administrator.

学生：打扰一下。请问你知道学生中心所有的打印机已经坏了吗?

Student: Excuse me. Do you know that all the printers over in the student center have stopped working?

管理员：有八个连接到电脑的打印机。

Administrator: There are eight printers connected to the computers there.

学生：是的，我刚从那里回来。

很多课程的论文都是今天下午截止，同一时间，所有人都在尝试打印自己的东西。

So many classes have papers due this afternoon that everyone is trying to print out their stuff at the same time.

这些打印机已经超额工作了，现在他们都有卡纸或其他问题。

Those printers got overworked and now they all have paper jams or some other problem.

大多数我们的的技术人员其实是兼职这份工作的学生。

Most of our actual technicians are students who take the job on the side.

管理员：大部分在计算机实验室研究工作的学生在工程学院学习，不幸的是，他们今天都休假。

Administrator: Well, most of the students who work at the computer labs study at the engineering school, and unfortunately they all took the day off.

I think they have some big exams tomorrow.

学生：学期内这么重要的截稿日，怎么能没有在岗的技术人员呢？

Student: How can there be no technicians working on the biggest deadline day of the semester?

管理员：嗯，有一个技术员在艺术建筑楼的计算机实验室工作。

Administrator: Well, there is one technician working at the computer lab in the arts building.

实际上，他刚刚发给我一封电子邮件说，他不知道为什么那里有一大群人。

Actually, he just sent me an email message saying there was a huge crowd there, and he could not figure out why.

学生：因为人们需要打印他们的论文。

Student: Because people need to print their papers.

一定有什么是你可以做的事情。

人们需要这些打印机正常工作。

管理员：好吧，我们订购了新的打印机，下个月我们就要用一套全新的打印机替换学生中心里旧的打印机了。

Administrator: Well, we just ordered new printers and next month we are replacing the old printers over the student center with a brand new set of printers.

学生：但是提交文件的最后期限就只剩下两个小时了。

Student: But the deadline for submitting papers is just two hours away.

管理员：恐怕没有什么是我能做的。

Administrator: I'm afraid there's nothing I can do.

也许最好的办法就是去艺术建筑楼，在那里排队。

Your best bet is to probably head to the arts building and get in line there.

学生：但这是如何再次发生的？

上学期，当所有的打印机坏了时，校长都已经介入了。

Last semester when the all printers broke down, the president of the college got involved.

他发出一个电子邮件给所有的学生说，他会亲自做一些事情确保这个情况得到解决。

He sent out an email message to all the students saying that he was going to personally do something to make sure that the situation was resolved.

当我们在学期的开始开预算会议时，校长在那里。

When we had our budget meeting at the beginning of the semester, the president was there.

通常他不会做这样的事情的，但是他想确保我们订购新打印机。

That's not something he usually does, but he wanted to make sure we ordered the new printers.

学生：下个月将有新的打印机吗？

Student: The new printers that are coming next month?

管理员：是的，预算被批准下来时我就采购了它们。

Administrator: Yeah, I ordered them as soon as the budget was approved.

但是采购过程就是这样的……你知道吗？

But the purchasing process being what it is... You know what?

有可能一些打印机故障是因为他们没有墨水了。

It's possible some of the printers are malfunctioning because they ran out of ink.

我不是一个技术员，但是如果是这个问题的话，我可以解决。

I'm not a technician, but if that's what's wrong I could fix it.

我想我会拿一些墨盒，去学生中心检查一下。

I guess I'll grab some ink cartridges and go over to the student center and check.

我不能保证，对不起，但可能解决这个问题。

No guarantees, sorry, but it might fix the problem.

Why does the man mention the engineering school?

Why does the man mention the president of the college?
