托福TPO/Official 1 Con 1听力原文What does the librarian say about the availability of journals and articles in the library?【新东方在线】

旁白：听一段学生和图书管理员的对话。

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

学生：嗨，嗯……我真的希望你能帮我个忙。

Student: Hi, um… I really hope you can help me.

学生：我想写一篇关于心理学课程的文学评论，但是我在找文章的时候遇到了困难。

Student: I’m supposed to do a literature review for my psychology course, but I'm having a hard time finding articles.

甚至我都不知道应该从哪开始找起。

I don’t even know where to start looking.

图书管理员：给心理学做准备，是吧？

Librarian: You said this is for your psychology course, right?

图书管理员：行，你有一个重点，这算是一个很好的开始。

Librarian: Well, you have a focus, so that’s already a good start.

嗯……好，有这么几件事…… 哦，等等……你有没有检查看教授是否给你预留了学习资料？

Hmmm… well, there’re a few things… oh wait… have you checked to see if your professor put any material for you to look at on reserve?

学生：啊哈，这是我知道自己该做的唯一一件事。

Student: Aha, that’s one thing I did know to do.

我刚刚复印了一篇文章，但我还需要从三个不同的期刊里找出三篇关于我主题的文章。

I just copied an article, but I still need three more on my topic from three different journals.

图书管理员：那就让我们一块找这三篇文章呗。

Librarian: Let’s get you going on looking for those then.

在“参考书库区”，我们已经印刷过二十种版本的心理学期刊。

We have printed versions of twenty or so psychology journals in the Reference Section.

These are ones published within the last year.

此外，我想想看……（貌似）有一份 名为《睡眠与梦》的期刊。

Now that I think about it… there’s a journal named Sleep and Dream.

学生：哦，是的，我刚才复印的一篇文章就来自那本期刊，所以我得看看其他资料来源。

Student: Oh, yeah, the article I just copied is from that journal, so I’ve gotta look at other sources.

图书管理员：好的，其实，我们的大部分资料都是在网络上可用的。

Librarian: Ok, actually, most of our materials are available electronically now.

你可以通过图书馆的电脑，你可以接触到心理学数据库或相关电子期刊和文章。同时，如果你想通过搜索标题关键字，如“梦想”一词，输入该词，所有包含“梦想”一词的文章将都出现在屏幕上。

You can access psychology databases or electronic journals and articles through the library’s computers, and if you want to search by title with the word ‘dream' for example, just type it in and all the articles with ‘dream’ in the title will come up on the screen.

哎，可惜我在家的时候不能也这么做。

任何一台连接了学校网络的电脑，都可以用来登入图书馆数据库和电子资源库。

All of the library’s databases and electronic sources can be accessed through any computer connected to the university network.

学生：真哒？我居然不知道这回事！

Student: Really? I can’t believe I didn’t know that.

看来得花点时间来搜索所有的这些信息和数据。

It still sounds like it’s going to take a while though, you know, going through all of that information, all of those sources.

图书管理员：也许吧，你已经把搜索范围缩小到关于“解梦”的文章，所以应该不会花太长时间的。

Librarian: Maybe, but you already narrow your search down to articles on Dream Interpretation, so it shouldn’t be too bad.

你可能也已经注意到（一个问题）：在你复印的那篇文章第一页的顶部有一个摘要。

And you probably notice that there’s an abstract or summary at the top of the first page of the article you copied.

当你进入了数据库和电子资源库，你可以选择性的去读电脑屏幕上显示的文章摘要，然后通过跳读来选择你想读的文章，并且把它剪切下来。

When you go into the databases and electronic sources, you have the option to display the abstracts on the computer screen, skimming those to decide whether or not you want to read the whole article should cut down some time.

浏览摘要肯定使原书更加实用。

They’ll definitely make the project more doable.

我想我应该在离开图书馆之前，尝试下电子搜索，为了以防万一我不会弄。

I guess I should try out the electronic search while I’m still here then, you know, just in case.

图书管理员：有道理，呃……那边那台电脑没人用，还有我今天下午五点前人都会在这里。

Librarian: Sure, er…that computer’s free over there, and I’ll be here till five this afternoon.

学生：谢谢，对于这次作业我现在放心多了。

Student: Thanks, I feel a lot better about this assignment now.

Narrator 
Listen to part of a conversation between a student and a librarian. 
Student 
Hi, um…, I really hope you can help me. 
Librarian 
That’s why I’m here. What can I do for you? 
Student 
I’m supposed to do a literature review for my psychology course, but I’m… having a hard time finding articles. I don’t even know where to start looking. 
Librarian 
You said this is for your psychology course, right? So your focus is on … 
Student 
Dream Interpretation. 
Librarian 
Well, you have a focus, so that’s already a good start. Hmmm… well, there’re a few things… oh wait… have you checked to see if your professor put any material for you to look at on reserve? 
Student 
Aha, that’s one thing I did know to do. I just copied an article, but I still need three more on my topic from three different journals. 
Librarian

Student 
Cool, that’s great! Too bad I cannot do this from home. 
Librarian 
But you can. All of the library’s databases and electronic sources can be accessed through any computer connected to the university network.
Student 
Really?! I can’t believe I didn’t know that. It still sounds like it’s going to take a while though, you know, going through all of that information, all of those sources.
