托福TPO/Official 38 Con 1听力原文What can be inferred about Professor Wilson?【新东方在线】

旁白：请听一段学生和大学住宿办公室雇员的对话。

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

雇员：嗨，有什么可以帮到你的吗？

我这个暑假修了一门课，我需要找学校里的住处。

I am taking a class this summer and I need to see about getting campus housing.

申请学校的宿舍的截止日期已经过去了。

I am afraid the deadline to apply for summer housing in the dormitories has already passed.

I could help you look for something off campus.

学生：你看，我昨天才发现我得上这门课。

Student: Well, see, I only found out yesterday I need to take this course.

我的意思是我本来是秋天修这门课的。

这是我认知科学的主修专业需要选的一门课，Wilson教授本来是可以秋季来教这门课的，但是现在……

It is a course I need for my major in Cognitive Science, Professor Wilson was supposed to teach it but now...

雇员：哦，对的。我听说他临时决定明年不在校了。

Employee: Oh, right. I heard he is taking a last-minute leave of absence next year.

学生：哦是的。他要去我们的兄弟学校，在Botswana，去发展那边的新的认知科学项目。

Student: Oh yeah. He'll be in Botswana helping develop the new cognitive science program at our sister university there.

不论如何我必须这个暑假上了这门课，如果我想按时毕业的话。

Anyway I have to take the course this summer if I want to graduate on time.

我从院长那里开了一张条子，来帮我一路开绿灯。

I’ve got a note from the dean approving the whole situation.

雇员：哦，好的，既然这样我觉得我们要给你破例了。

Employee: Oh, well, in that case I guess we'd better make an exception for you.

唯一一个问题是大多数的宿舍已经有人住了。

Only problem is most of the bedrooms are gone already.

Was there any particular dorm you were interested in?

学生：嗯，我现在住在Randolph Hall，但是我的舍友五月就毕业了，所以我要在Murphy申请秋季的单人间，房间号是206。

Student: Well, I’m in Randolph Hall right now, but my roommate's graduating in May so I have signed up for a single in Murphy for the fall, room 206.

I was hoping I might be able to just move in there now.

Employee: Well, let's see what the computer says.

不好意思，那间屋子需要在暑期进行粉刷和保养。

Sorry, that room's scheduled for repainting and maintenance over the summer.

学生：我其实不介意它是不是再次粉刷过。

Student: I don't really care if it's repainted.

我会把大多数的墙壁贴上海报的。

I’ll be covering most of the walls with posters anyway.

雇员：抱歉，不行的。这实际上是城市的一条条例。

Employee: Sorry, no. It is actually a city ordinance.

所有出租的房间，包括大学宿舍，至少要每五年粉刷一次。

All rental rooms including dorm rooms have to be painted at least once every five years.

学生：好吧，那我可以继续住我现在的宿舍吗？

Student: Oh, well, how about if I stay where I’m for the summer?

我很确定它最近几年被粉刷过。

I’m pretty sure they just painted it a couple years ago.

你是说继续住在Randolph，对吗？

学生：哦好吧，我可能需要搬两次宿舍了。

Student: Oh, well. Guess I’ll just have to move twice.

雇员：稍等一下，我有了个主意。

Employee: One sec. I've got one more idea.

你看。有一间Murphy的宿舍可以住，沿着走廊走一段路就是你秋季的新宿舍。

Here we go. There is a room open in Murphy just down the hall from your new one.

这样等你到了秋季开学，你就只需要把东西搬到隔着几间屋的新宿舍就好了。

That way come fall, you'd only have to carry your things a few doors down.

学生：好的，这个我可以接受。

现在你自己住，但是也可能有人会住进来，这个不一定的。

Right now you have got it to yourself but there's a chance someone else might sign up at the last minute, not likely.

你可能最终需要和一个舍友一起住到夏季结束。

But you could end up with a roommate for the summer.

学生：哦，当然了。就几个月，我和谁一起住都行。

Student: Oh, sure. I can get along with anyone for a couple of months.

雇员：好的，那么，我要打印表格了。

Employee: Okay, then, I will get the forms printed up.

明天下午你的屋子应该就准备好了。

They should be ready for you by tomorrow afternoon.

你可以到时候过来停一下，把要签字的东西签了。

What can be inferred about Professor Wilson?

Why is the woman willing to make an exception for the student?

Why does the student request a specific room in Murphy Hall?

At the end of the conversation, what has not yet been determined about the student's living situation over the summer?
