托福TPO/Official 28 Con 1听力原文Why is the student late for his meeting?【新东方在线】

旁白：听一段学生和教授之间的对话。

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

学生：我很抱歉我晚了，Mills教授。

Student: I am so sorry I am late. Professor Mills.

I just finished at the student medical center.

今天早上我在踢足球的时候扭到了脚踝。

I twisted my ankle playing soccer this morning.

It took longer than I expected to see the doctor.

关于你写的John Dewey的政治哲学的论文，我有一些问题想要说一下。

Your paper on John Dewey's political philosophy has a few issues I'd like to cover.

在一开始，你写了一段很棒的传记。

You gave a great biographical sketch in the beginning. Okay.

但是，随后当你进入到他政治哲学部分的时候，我认为，你没有充分地将他的哲学和那个时代联系起来。

But then as you get into his political philosophy, I don't think you've done enough to situate his philosophy within the time period.

换句话说，你没有将Dewey的哲学和同时代的其他知识分子的想法联系起来。

In other words, you haven't connected Dewey's philosophy to the thinking of other intellectuals of the time.

学生：所以，我没抓住最关键的影响，他政治思想最重要的影响？

Student: So I haven't captured the most critical influences, the influences that were most significant to his political thinking?

好的，现在，我们回头看看这个部分，那个你写的关于Dewey对于个体化的看法的部分。

OK. Now, look back up at the section here, where you wrote about Dewey's view of individuality.

但是你没有很系统地呈现这些信息。

But you haven't presented the information in a systematic way.

我真的认为关于个体化的这个部分应该放在后面，在你那段Dewey对于知识分子影响的后面。

I really think this portion on individuality needs to come later, after your paragraphs on Dewey's intellectual influences.

学生：放在我修改过的，什么会影响他们的那段后面。

Student: After my revised paragraphs on what influenced them.

教授：是的。修改过的。让我问问你。

当你写完之后，你有没有问头看看，问问你自己这些材料真的相关吗？

Uh. When you were finished writing, did you go back and ask yourself if all of the material was relevant?

教授：我认为有些地方可以被去掉。

Professor: I do think there are areas that can be cut.

我想我说的是你的段落没有呈现地很有逻辑。

I guess what I am saying is that your paragraphs aren't really presented in a logical order.

你论证的方向并没有十分清楚。

The direction of your argument isn't crystal clear.

并且当中有很多非必要的内容。

And there's some unnecessary material getting in the way.

学生：好的，听上去我要做很多事情。

Student: OK. Sounds like I have a lot to do.

教授：再做件事，你有没有把部门关于索引、引用、参考文献的格式的文档打印出来？

Professor: And one more thing, do you have a copy of the department's document on the correct format for index, citations and references?

学生：没有。我的意思是，我在完成这个任务的时候是参考网上的。

Student: No. I mean, I look at it online when I was working on this assignment.

教授：你真的应该把它打印出来。

Professor: You really should print it out.

对于你在政治科学部门的所有论文，你都应该这么做。

You are going to need it for every paper you write in the political science department.

看上去你好像把它和另外一个参考系统搞混了。

It looks like you are getting it mixed up with another referencing system.

学生：是的，在高中的时候我用的是不一样的。

Student: Oh. Yeah. I used something different in high school.

对于用新系统我感到非常困惑。

It's so confusing switching to a new system.

教授：我明白。但是记住，当开始引用的时候，所有的东西必须保持一致。

Professor: I know. But remember, everything needs to be consistent when it comes to referencing.

在学术惯例中，这是非常重要的。

It is a very important academic convention.

并且，我想问你……你会参加星期六的政治科学俱乐部的会议吗？

Oh, also, I wanted to ask you…Will you be at the political science club meeting Saturday?

学生：当然。那天的话题就是John Dewey.

Student: Definitely. The topic is John Dewey.

教授：是的。你有兴趣主导一下部分的讨论么？

Professor: Yes. Are you interested in leading part of the discussion?

Tom Hayward is looking for someone to help out.

What revisions does the student need to make to his paper?

Why does the professor mention the political science club?

Narrator Listen to part of a conversation between a student and a professor. Student I am so sorry I am late. Professor Mills. I just finished at the student medical center. I twisted my ankle playing soccer this morning. It took longer than I expected to see the doctor. Professor That’s okay. Don’t worry about it. David. So let’s get started. Your paper on John Dewey’s political philosophy has a few issues I’d like to cover. You gave a great biographical sketch in the beginning. Okay. But then as you get into his political philosophy, I don’t think you’ve done enough to situate his philosophy within the time period. In other words, you haven’t connected Dewey’s philosophy to the thinking of other intellectuals of the time. Student I am so sorry I am late. Professor Mills. I just finished at the student medical center. I twisted my ankle playing soccer this morning. It took longer than I expected to see the doctor. Student So I haven’t captured the most critical influences, the influences that were most significant to his political thinking? Professor Exactly. OK. Now, look back up at the section here, where you wrote about Dewey’s view of individuality. This is all good content. But you haven’t presented the information in a systematic way. I really think this portion on individuality needs to come later, after your paragraphs on Dewey’s intellectual influences. Student After my revised paragraphs on what influenced them. Professor Yes. Revised. Let me ask. Uh. When you were finished writing, did you go back and ask yourself if all of the material was relevant? Student Well, no. Professor I do think there are areas that can be cut. I guess what I am saying is that your paragraphs aren’t really presented in a logical order. The direction of your argument isn’t crystal clear. And there’s some unnecessary material getting in the way. Student OK. Sounds like I have a lot to do. Professor And one more thing, do you have a copy of the department’s document on the correct format for index, citations and references? Student No. I mean, I look at it online when I was working on this assignment. Professor You really should print it out. You are going to need it for every paper you write in the political science department. It looks like you are getting it mix up with another referencing system. Student Oh. Yeah. I used something different in high school. It’s so confusing switching to a new system. Professor I know. But remember, everything needs to be consistent when it comes to referencing. It is a very important academic convention. Oh, also, I wanted to ask you… Will you be at the political science club meeting Saturday? Student Definitely. The topic is John Dewey. Professor Yes. Are you interested in leading part of the discussion? Tom Hayward is looking for someone to help out. I think you’ll have a lot to contribute. Student That’ll be fun. I will give him a call. Professor Yes. Revised. Let me ask. Uh. When you were finished writing, did you go back and ask yourself if all of the material was relevant? Student Well, no. Professor I do think there are areas that can be cut. I guess what I am saying is that your paragraphs aren’t really presented in a logical order. The direction of your argument isn’t crystal clear. And there’s some unnecessary material getting in the way.
