托福TPO/Official 20 Con 1听力原文What is the woman trying to explain when she mentions students who have lost their borrowing privileges?【新东方在线】

旁白：听一段学生和图书馆管理员之间的对话。

Narrator: Listen to a conversation between a student and a library employee.

学生：打扰了，我收到一封要求我归还一本我9月份时候借出的书的信，这本书叫做《现代社会问题》。

Student: Excuse me, I received a letter that I am supposed to return a book that I checked out back in September, it’s called Modern Social Problems.

但我正在写我的论文，所以，我当时觉得我可以占用这本书一整个学年。

But I am writing my senior thesis, so I thought I was allowed to keep the book for the whole academic year.

管理员：那你完成延期续借的程序了吗？

Librarian: So you signed up for extended borrowing privileges?

管理员：这样的话，我们还在要求你把书还回来？

Librarian: And we are still asking you to bring the book back?

学生：嗯，对。我真的要把书还回去吗？

管理员：好吧，我上网查一下。

Librarian: Well, let me check the computer.

这本书名字叫……叫《现代社会问题》？

The title was ... Modern Social Problems?

只要没有人要求借走它，你在将来的一整个学年都可以占用它，但不巧的是，有人要借，而且这个人好像还是社会学系的某一位教授。

You can keep it all year as long as no one else requests it, but someone else has, it looks like one of the professors in the sociology department.

你可以在几周后，它被重新归还时再借出去。

You can check it out again when it is returned in a couple of weeks.

学生：但是要是那个人又续借了呢？

还是，你只需要这本书的某一部分？

Or is there a certain section or chapter you are working with?

学生：嗯，我要用的是书里的一章，这有用吗？

Student: Well, there’s one chapter of the book in particular I am working with, but why?

管理员：嗯，我们一般来说都不会这么做的，但因为在这种情况下我们可以为你扫描你要的那章，所以我这样问你。

Librarian: Well, we normally don’t do this, but because of the circumstances we can photocopy up to one chapter for you.

你为何不把你要用的那章马上扫描下来呢？

Why don’t you do that for the one you are working with right now?

等到你需要这本书的别的内容的时候，没准那时候书已经还回来了。

And by the time you need the rest of the book, maybe it’ll have been returned.

学生：嗯……没有，书在我的寝室里。

Student: Eh... no, it’s in my dorm room.

These are books I want to check out today.

Is it OK if I bring that by in a couple of days?

管理员：事情是这样的，明天是这本书归还的截止日期。

Librarian: Actually, the due date is tomorrow.

在此之后，就会有每天两美金的罚款。

After that, there’ll be a two dollar per day fine.

而且你必须今天就把书还回来，如果你还想借书出去的话。

But you need to return it today if you want to check out any books today.

管理员：嗯，其实有很多学生不知道是这么回事情。

Librarian: Yeah, not a lot of people realize that.

每一学期我们都能碰到一些学生因为没能按期还书而丧失了外借资格的。

In fact, every semester we get a few students who've had their borrowing privileges suspended completely because they haven’t returned books.

他们现在只能在图书馆里面看。

They are allowed to use books only in the library.

他们因为没有还书，不能外借任何书籍。

They are not allowed to check anything out because of unreturned books.

我想我应该现在就回宿舍一趟。

I guess I should head back down to the dorm right now.

管理员：你走之前，要做的事情是把这张要求两周之内还书的表填了。

Librarian: But before you go, what you should do is fill out a form requesting the book back in two weeks.

这样的话，那位借书人就不能借完之后续借它了。

Then the person who requested it won’t be able to renew it.

Why does the man go to talk to the woman?

What is the woman trying to explain when she mentions students who have lost their borrowing privileges?

How does the man probably feel at the end of the conversation?

Narrator 
Listen to a conversation between a student and a library employee. 
Student 
Excuse me, I received a letter that I am supposed to return a book that I checked out back in September , it’s called Modern Social Problems. But I am writing my senior thesis, so I thought I was allowed to keep the book for the whole academic year. 
Librarian 
So you signed up for extended borrowing privileges? 
Student 
Yeah. 
Librarian 
And we are still asking you to bring the book back? 
Student 
Uh-huh. Do I really have to? 
Librarian 
Well, let me check the computer . The title was ... Modern Social Problems? 
Student 
Yeah. 
Librarian 
Eh... Ok, yeah. It’s been recalled. You can keep it all year as long as no one else requests it, but someone else has, it looks like one of the professors in the sociology department. So you have to bring it back. You can check it out again when it is returned in a couple of weeks. 
What if the person renews it? And I really need it right now. 
Librarian 
All of it? Or is there a certain section or chapter you are working with? 
Student 
Well, there’s one chapter in particular I am working with, but why? 
Librarian 
Well, we normally don’t do this, but because of the circumstances we can photocopy up to one chapter for you. Why don’t you do that for the one you are working with right now? And by the time you need the rest of the book, maybe it’ll have been returned. 
Student 
Oh, that would be great. 
Librarian 
Do you have it with you? 
Student 
Eh... no, it’s in my dorm room. These are books I want to check out today. Is it OK if I bring that one by in a couple of days? 
Librarian 
Actually, the due day is tomorrow. After that, there’ll be a two dollar per day fine. But you need to return it today if you want to check out any books today. That’s our policy. 
Student 
Oh, I see. 
Librarian 
Yeah, not a lot of people realize that. In fact, every semester we get a few students who would have their borrowing privileges suspended completely because they haven’t returned books. They are allowed to use books only in the library. They are not allowed to check anything out because of unreturned books. That’s not good. I guess I should head back to the dorm right now.
