托福TPO/Official 20 Con 2听力原文What does the professor say he will do for the student?【新东方在线】

旁白：听一段学生和教授之间的讲话。

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

学生：詹宁斯教授，我希望我没有打扰到您，您想见我？

Student: Professor Jennings, I hope I am not interrupting, but you wanted to see me?

我想见你，是因为你上次在课上给我们做了关于语言项目的报告很不错，我觉得你很适合去竞争系主任本科生研究经费。

The reason I wanted to talk to you was that while you were presenting your linguistics project in class the other day, well, you know, I was thinking you are a perfect candidate for the  Dean's Undergraduate Research Fund.

学生：嗯……教授，我想我不太明白那个叫……是什么？

Student: Um ... Professor, I am really sure what the... um ... dean ....

教授：本科生研究项目是…这是个挺绕口的名字。

Professor: Undergraduate Research Fund is ... It is a mouthful I suppose.

学校每年都会抽出来一部分经费，支持本科生研究项目。

Every year the school has a pool of money to fund a number of research projects of undergraduate students.

正如你也能想到，深度研究当然会需要经费的支持。

Because as you can imagine, in-depth research often requires monetary support.

学生：我当然愿意把我的研究推进下去。

Student: I would like to expand on my research.

教授：好。首先，一个由教授组成的委员会将会预览竞争经费的项目。

Professor: Good. First a panel of professors reviews the applications for the grant.

之后再决定哪些项目获得支持。

And then they decide on which research should be funded.

分配下来的经费可以被用作差旅费，比如参加学术会议的费用，或者做研究所必需的资源，诸如物料，研究设备。

The allotted money could be used for travel expenses, to attend a conference for example, or for things like supplies, research equipment, resources that are necessary to conduct the research.

教授：好的。我认为你应该申请这笔经费。

Professor: Right. And I think you should apply for this grant.

如果你有必要的资源，你可以扩展它。

And you could expand it if you have the necessary resources.

所以，这听上去是让你觉得有趣的事儿么？

So, does it sound like something you would be interested in?

学生：哦，是的，听上去很不错。

我觉得我现在做的项目很有趣，并且它和我的语言学专业是对口的。

I thought the topic I work on was very interesting, and it is certainly relevant to my linguistics major.

我想，这个项目应该会为我进入研究生院增光添彩吧。

I assume it will also look good when I try to get into graduate school.

不过，我要怎样才能申请到这笔钱？

首先，对你提议的项目简要描述，估计预算。

A brief description of your proposed project, and an estimated budget.

即你会在那些事情上花钱，花多少。

How much you'd need to spend and what you intend to spend it on.

同时，如果能够从语言学教授那儿送一封推荐信过去的话也会有帮助，这件事情我乐意效劳。

Also a glowing letter of recommendation from a linguistics professor wouldn’t hurt, which I’d be more than happy to write up for you.

我现在已经很了解我要怎样进行我的项目，但我不清楚哪里能找到更多的相关资讯。

I am pretty clear on how to carry out my project, but I am not sure where I can find more information on the subject.

Professor: Well, I have already thought of that.

波士顿有个大学里有一家私人图书馆，

There’s this private library at a university in Boston.

顺便说一下，我是从那儿毕业的，我可以帮你进去。

By the way, because I graduated from that school, I can get you access to it, no problem.

那儿保存了许多尚未公布但与你研究领域相关的资料。

You see, the library houses lots of unpublished documents that are relevant to your topic.

学生：这样的话，我能把这条信息也写到经费申请表里面去，之后，我就能够把我将会在那儿使用资料的费用以及来往的差旅费放到预算里了？

Student: So I could put that in the application for the grant, that I plan on using material from that library for my research and figure a trip to Boston into my budget?

教授：对。我已经从你的课堂作业和你项目的相关性和清晰性预测了一下，你拿下这笔钱的机会很大。

Professor: Exactly. I really think judging from your work in class, and the relevance and clarity of this project, you really have a good chance of getting the funding.

Student: OK.！I’ll definitely apply then！

Good Luck! And I’ll get that letter written up right away.

Why does the professor want to talk to the student?

According to the professor, what information should be included in the student's application?

Why does the professor mention a university in Boston?

What does the professor say he will do for the student?
