托福TPO/Official 36 Con 2听力原文Why does the student mention an internship at a professional radio station?【新东方在线】

旁白：请听一段学生和项目管理员之间关于学校广播站的对话。

Narrator: Listen to a conversation between a student and the program manager of the university radio station.

学生：嗨，我是Jim，我就是那个想开设新的节目的学生。

Student: Hi I'm Jim, the guy who's trying to get a new show.

学生：我的申请被拒绝了……嗯……我不清楚为什么。

Student: My application got turned down and...um...I am not sure why.

所以我想你是不是可以解释一下……

管理员：我很高兴你来找我了，Jim。

实际上你的申请让我印象深刻。

I was actually quite impressed with your application.

管理员：但问题是，我们这里是音乐站，不是聊天站。

Manager: But the thing is, we run a music station here, not a talk station.

我们从建站一开始就是音乐站了，一直这样。

We've been a music station since the beginning, since the station's inception.

学生：这就是我不明白的地方，因为上个月的大学新闻报纸上有篇文章提到了大选……

Student: This is where I get confused because of the article in last month's campus newspaper about the poll...

学生：我的意思是，很多学生说他们觉得广播站很久没有变化了，需要新鲜力量。

Student: I mean, a majority of students said they felt the station was stale, that it needed a breath of fresh air.

如果紧闭门扉的话，怎么吸收新鲜建议呢？

Well, um, how are we supposed to get fresh air if you keep all the windows closed?

我只是尝试着为大家打开一些门路。

I was just trying to open some windows for people.

管理员：我知道你对这个很有热情，但是我真的不确定这是个好的主意。好吧。

Manager: I can tell you have a lot of passion for this, but I'm really not convinced it's a good idea. Okay.

第一个原因是，再说一遍，这是个音乐站。

The first thing is, again, this is a music station.

如果我们开设了听众来电环节，这就和我们的定位不符了。

If we just have that one calling show, it just doesn't fit in with what we are doing.

也有研究表明，混合节目的广播站不如单一的成功……

And studies have showed that mixed format stations just aren't as successful as...

你看，我们是想创新的，但是还是不能太出格。

Look. We do want to innovate, but within the format.

如果有了一个听众来电的节目，一件事，你可能不能预料观众会说什么，不知道最后能怎么收尾。

And with a live calling show, for one thing, you have no idea what the caller is going to say, no idea what you could end up broadcasting.

学生：我明白。但是对于可以让学生有机会向公众讲话，让他们在关心的话题上互动，这个风险是小小的。

Student: I understand, but that seems like a small risk to take in exchange for giving students a chance to talk publicly, interactively about issues they care about.

我真的认为他们会想要一个可以对于大学、对于近期发生的事情畅所欲言的地方。

I really think they'd like to have a place where they can air their views about current events, about the university.

管理员：但是学校里有这样的场所。

Manager: But the university already has that.

我们有一月一次的面向全部学生的会议，就是来谈论你在申请里提到的那些事情的。

There's a monthly meeting open to all students to discuss issues like the ones you mentioned in your application.

还有几个学生社团也是有关新鲜事情的。

And there are several student clubs on campus that discuss current events.

但是不论是哪个，我们都不想做出改变。

But either way we have no plans to change the format.

那么，如果你现在有关于新的音乐项目的新想法的话……

Now, if you had an innovative idea for a new music program...

学生：嗯……那一个包括了听众来电的音乐项目怎么样？

Student: Well...how about a music program that includes taking calls from listeners?

管理员：你对于来电环节很执着嘛，嗯？

Manager: You really are determined to have a calling show, huh?

学生：我是通信专业的，我希望得到城里一个专业电台嘉宾热线节目的实习机会。

Student: Well, I'm a communications major, and I'm hoping to get an internship at a professional talk radio show in the city next year.

我觉得如果我能在学校里积累点相关经验的话，可能会有帮助吧。

I thought a little experience with the college station might help.

管理员：我要告诉你，离申请截止还是有一段时间的。

Manager: Tell you what, there's still some time before the application deadline.

不如你重新提交一份关于音乐节目的新申请？

Why don't you submit a new application with the music show idea that you just proposed?

然后我们可以看看能不能做出点什么来。

Then we will see if we can work something out.

What are the woman’s objections to a call-in radio show?

Why does the woman mention the university’s monthly meetings?

Why does the student mention an internship at a professional radio station?

What does the woman imply about the student’s idea to mix a music show with a call-in show?
