托福TPO/Official 5 Con 2听力原答案解析-音频翻译【新东方在线】

独白：请听一段学生和教授间的对话。

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

学生：您好，我在想是不是能跟你讨论关于电影理论课作业的问题呢？

Student: Hi, I was wondering if I could talk with you about the assignment in the film theory class.

学生：似乎基本上班上每个人都知道他们应该做什么，但是我不太肯定。

Student: It seems that pretty much everyone else in the class gets what they are supposed to be doing but I’m not so sure.

教授：嗯，这节课主要是针对那些真把电影当回事的学生而开的。

Professor: Well, the class is for students who are really serious about film.

学生：是的，高中的时候，电影鉴赏。

Student: Yeah, in high school, film appreciation.

教授：嗯，我不认为那就够了。

Professor: Hmmm…I wouldn't think that would be enough.

你有没有主要集中在电影的内容和形式上呢？

Did you concentrate mainly on form or content?

学生：哦，当然，主要是内容。

我们课上看过蝇王这部电影，然后进行讨论。

We’d watch, say Lord of the Flies, and then discuss it.

教授：哦，是以这种方式的啊。将电影当做是文学作品，不要管电影独有的因素。

Professor: Oh, that approach, treating film as literature, ignoring what makes it unique.

学生：不管怎样我喜欢这种方式。

好吧，你感到有点摸不着头脑，不感到惊奇。

Well, I'm not surprised that you are feeling a little lost.

你知道，在上该门课之前，你要上两外两门入门课程。一门是关于电影艺术，技术，技术队伍，另一门是关于电影历史的。

You know, we have two introductory courses that are supposed to be taken before you get to my course, one in film art, techniques, technical stuff and another in film history.

因此跟你一起上课的学生在电影研究上应该有一定的底子了。

So students in the class you are in should be pretty far along in film studies.

事实上，这样的系统经常让那些试图上这门课却不应该来的学生止步，还有那些没有按照学校要求提前上这几门课的学生。

In fact, usually the system blocks anyone trying to sign up for a class they shouldn't be taking, who hasn't taken the courses you are required to do first as prerequisites.

学生：嗯，这方面是有点问题，但是我已经跟您的一个同事谈过了，她允许我这么做。

Student: Well, I did have a problem with that but I discussed it with one of your office staff, and she gave me permission.

教授：当然。无论我跟他们强调多少次，他们都会这么做的……

Professor: Of course. No matter how many times I tell them, they just keep on…

好吧，为了你好，我真的建议你回到原点，从平常阶段开始。

Well, for your own good, I'd really suggest dropping back and starting at the usual place.

学生：是。但是我也上这门课已经上了4个星期了。

Student: Yes. But I've already been in this class for 4 weeks.

我真的不想现在放弃，特别是因为我现在发现这么课很不同很有趣。

I'd hate to just drop it now especially since I find it so different, so interesting.

说实话，我不敢相信你居然待这么久。

Frankly I can't believe you've lasted this long.

课上说的都是颇有深度的理论，我们一直在讨论，而你到目前都做得还好。

These are pretty in-depth theories we've been discussing and you've been doing OK so far, I guess.

但是，还是那句话，该项课程一直以来都是为了让学生在某一阶段后能取得进步而设置的。

But still, the program's been designed to progress through certain stages.

就像其他专业训练一样，我们都要有先前的知识作为底子。

Like any other professional training we build on pervious knowledge.

学生：那么也许你可以给我推荐一些课外阅读，让我能，能赶上别人的进度。

Student: Then maybe you could recommend some extra reading I can do to… catch up?

教授：你打算将电影作为你的主要科目吗？

Professor: Well, are you intending to study film as your main concentration?

学生：不，不，我只是感兴趣。

事实上我主修市场营销，但是两者之间似乎有点关联。

I'm actually in marketing, but there seems to be a connection.

教授：哦，好吧，这样的话，如果你仅是出于兴趣而选这门课，我还是强烈推荐你参加这个课程，但是同时，尽量跟上课程进度也没有什么坏处。

Professor: Oh…well, in…in that case, if you’re taking the course just out of interest, I mean I still highly recommend signing up for the introductory courses at some point, but in the meantime, there is no harm I guess in trying to keep up with this class.

呃，你可以看一些以前的入门讲座，而不是立即去做课外阅读，

Eh, instead of any extra reading just now though, you could view some of the old introductory lectures.

That would give you a better handle on the subject.

这要求还是很高，我们进度还会很快，所以你真的要一直跟上进度。

It's still a pretty tall order, and we will be moving right along, so you will really need to stay on top of it.

学生：好的，我收到您的警告了。

那么现在我可以告诉你关于此次作业的看法吗？

Now, could I tell you about my idea for the assignment?

What is the professor's attitude toward the student's high school film course?

Why was the student permitted to sign up for the professor's film theory course?

Why does the professor decide to allow the student to remain in his class?

What does the professor advise the student to do in order to keep up with the class she is in?

Narrator 
Listen to a conversation between a student and a professor. 
Student 
Hi, I was wondering if I could talk with you about the assignment in the film theory class. 
Professor 
Of course, Jill. 
Student 
It seems that pretty much everyone else in the class gets what they are supposed to be doing but I’m not so sure. 
Professor 
Well, the class is for students who are really serious about film. You must have taken film courses before. 
Student 
Yeah, in high school, film appreciation. 
Professor 
Hmmm…I wouldn’t think that would be enough. Did you concentrate mainly on form or content? 
Student 
Oh, definitely content. We’d watch, say Lord of the Flies, and then discuss it. 
Professor 
Oh, that approach, treating film as literature, ignoring what makes it unique. 
Student 
I liked it, though. 
Professor 
Sure, but that kind of class. Well, I’m not surprised that you are feeling a little lost. You know, we have two introductory courses that are supposed to be taken before you get to my course, one in film art, techniques, technical stuff and another in film history. So students in the class you are in should be pretty far along in film studies.

Student 
Yes. But I’ve already been in this class for 4 weeks. I’d hate to just drop it now especially since I find it so different, so interesting. 
Professor 
I guess so. Frankly I can’t believe you’ve lasted this long. These are pretty in-depth theories we’ve been discussing and you’ve been doing OK so far, I guess. But still, the program’s been designed to progress through certain stages. Like any other professional training we build on pervious knowledge. 
Student

Professor 
Well, are you intending to study film as your main concentration? 
Student 
No, no. I am just interested. I’m actually in marketing, but there seems to be a connection. 
Professor 
Oh…well, in…in that case, if you’re taking the course just out of interest, I mean I still highly recommend signing up for the introductory courses at some point, but in the meantime, there is no harm I guess in trying to keep up with this class.

The interest is clearly there. Eh, instead of any extra reading just now though, you could view some of the old introductory lectures. We have them on video. That would give you a better handle on the subject. It’s still a pretty tall order, and we will be moving right along, so you will really need to stay on top of it. 
Student 
OK, I’ve been warned. Now, could I tell you about my idea for the assignment?
