托福TPO/Official 48 Con 2听力原文Why is the student interested in the professor's class?(Click on 2 answers.)【新东方在线】

旁白：听一段一个学生和一个教授之间的对话。

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

学生：嗨教授，我想问你几个关于你下学期的波兰戏剧的课程。

Student: Hi professor, I was hoping to ask you a few questions about the class you're teaching next semester, the course on Polish drama.

教授：嗯，那是一个高年级课程。

Professor: Well, that's an upper division course.

教授：好的，你在斯拉夫语言系部门还上过其他课程吗，无论是在这里还是其他地方？

Professor: Ok, have you had other classes in the Slavic languages department, here or somewhere else?

我只是在想，无论课程是否以波兰语教授，我的波兰语水平需要达到多好。

I was just wondering how good my Polish would have to be whether the class is taught Polish or not.

教授：嗯，你得有一些关于波兰语的知识。

Professor: Well, you'd have to have some knowledge of it.

达到这个水平，很多学生都很流利，另外，系里有一些波兰语为母语的学生。

By that level a lot of students are quite fluent, plus there're some native speakers in the department.

我们本来不是这么计划的，但是讨论中一会儿用英语一会儿用波兰语，还是很常见的，这可能会让人难以跟上。

And we don't plan for it to happen, but it's pretty common for the discussions to kind of move in and out of English and Polish and it can be difficult to follow.

那么，你说波兰语到底说得怎样呢？

你知道，波兰的历史，波兰的文化，加上我正在学习戏剧。我可能会主修这个方向。

You know, Polish history, Polish culture, plus I'm studying drama. I'll probably major in it.

我喜欢戏剧。所以我认为你的课程可能是完美的。

I love plays. So I thought your course might be perfect.

教授：嗯，老实说，你必须意识到，我们会看表演的视频。

Professor: Hmm, to be honest with you, you have to realize that we'll be watching videos of performances.

或许，如果我们能行的话，甚至会看一场现场演出，而那些可能都没有翻译。

And maybe if we can swing it, even watch a live performance and those won't necessarily be in translation.

此外，文本，文本有时可能是翻译过的。

Also, texts, texts are sometimes available in translation.

但即使这样，一些参考文献是原版的。

But even then some references will be to the original.

我希望你对阅读这些要有自信。

I'd hope you'd be fairly confident in reading.

学生：嗯，老实讲，我感觉有点懵。

Student: Hmm, to be honest, it sounds totally over my head.

教授：你知道吗？我相信他们会提供一个关于波兰文学的概况课程。

Professor: You know what? I believe they'll be offering a survey course on Polish literature.

让我看看。是的，是有这样的课程，Jowaski教授教它。

Let me check here. Yes, I thought it was being offered this time, Professor Jowaski is teaching it.

让我想想。它涵盖了主要的作品，史诗浪漫的诗歌，小说，它确实包括一部或两部戏剧。

Let's see. It covers the major works, you know, epic romantic poetry, the novels, and it does cover one or two plays.

教授：是的，你阅读的大部分是英文翻译，讨论也是用英语进行的。

Professor: Yes, you'll be reading mostly English translations and the discussions will be in English.

教授：它们会为你提供这些戏剧的宏大的历史背景。

Professor: They'll provide you with a great historical context for the plays.

所以可以说，当你开始接触到这些戏剧的时候，你真的会感受到他们生活的时代的情况。

So when you do get to them, you're gonna really have a feel for the times they lived in, so to speak.

再加上这个课程也可能会给你动力去学习更多的波兰语，你知道，达到你将要学习的其它课程所需要达到的水平。

Plus this course might also give you the impetus to learn more Polish, you know, get it to the level where you'd be ready for the other class.

M: Hi Professor, I was hoping to ask you a few questions about the class you're teaching next semester, the course on Polish drama. I was thinking of taking it. 
W: Well, that's an upper division course. You don’t look familiar to me. Are you students in this department? 
M: No, actually I'm not. 
W: Okay. Have you had other classes in a Slavic languages department, here or somewhere else? 
M: No, that’s the thing. I was just wondering how good my Polish would have to be whether there’s a classes taught Polish or not. 
W: Well, you'd have to have some knowledge of it. By that level, a lot of students are quite fluent, plus there are some native speakers in the department and we don't plan for it to happen, but it's pretty common for the discussions to kind of move in and out of English and Polish, and it can be difficult to follow. So how well do you speak Polish? 
M: Not so great. It's just my father’s from there, so I'm interested in learning about, you know, Polish history, Polish culture, plus I’m studying drama. I’ll probably major in it. I love plays. So I thought your course might be perfect. 
W: To be honest with you, you have to realize that we’ll be watching videos of performances and maybe if we can swing it, even want to live performance and those won't necessarily be in translation, also texts… texts are sometimes available in translation, but even then some references will be to the original. I’d hope you be fairly confident in reading. 
M: To be honest, it sounds totally over my head. 
W: You know what, I believe they’ll be offering a survey course on Polish literature. Let me check here. Yes. I thought it was being offered this time. Professor Jaworski's teaching it. Let’s see, it covers the major works, you know, epic romantic poetry, the novels and it does cover one or two plays. 
M: And this is in English? 
W: You’ll be reading most English translations and the discussions will be in English. 
M: Em… Now is in poetry. 
W: They’ll provide you with the great historical contexts for the plays, so when you do get to them, you're going to really have a feel for the time they lived in, so to speak. Plus, this course might also give you the envisage to learn more Polish. You know, getting to the level where you’ll be ready for the other class 
M: Em…
