托福TPO/Official 49 Con 1听力原文What are the speakers mainly discussing?【新东方在线】

旁白：接下来听一段学生和图书管理员之间的对话。

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

学生：嗨，我需要阅读一些特色馆藏，尤其是英国文学（方面的）。

Student: Hi, I need to get into special collections, in particular the British Literature.

我正着手于威廉•布莱克的一些书籍。

I was working with some of the William Blake books.

图书馆员：那么，你一定知道使用权是受到限制的。

Librarian: Well, then you must know that that access is restricted.

学生：嗯，我曾经参加过Gray教授的研讨会，我们得到她的授权。

Student: Um, I was in a seminar with Professor Gray and she authorized access for us.

图书馆员：哦，如果是这样的话，让我看一下。

Librarian: Oh, if that's the case, let me check.

好的，但貌似授权在上学期末到期了。

Right. Yeah. But it looks like that expired at the end of last semester

学生：但是，我确实需要回到那里。

Student: But I really need to get back in there.

图书馆员：啊哈！事情越来越复杂了。

你知道，这些版本是非常稀有的，要避免不必要的使用。

You see, these editions are rare and shouldn't be handled more than necessary.

你能不能使用一些新的版本或缩微胶片？

Can you work from later editions or microfilm?

事实上，我的项目……嗯，它涉及一些特定版本里的注释。

Actually my project... Well, it involves some annotations in the particular edition here.

它们没有被复制，因为它们不是文本的一部分。

They haven't been reproduced because they are really not part of the text.

你知道，他们一般把这些注释都去除掉。

（新版本里）很难看到这些注释。

图书管理员：通常，手稿的特性已经被记录下来。

Librarian: Well, often the characteristics of the manuscripts have been recorded.

这些外在的标记也可能被记录下来了。

These types of extraneous markings might also be noted.

学生：我不认为这些注释被记录下来了。

它们非常模糊，而且，嗯，我想我对它们有新的诠释。

They are very faint, and, well, I think I have a new angle on them.

在很久以前，有一个关于这些注释的研究，其他人在没有审核的情况下，理所当然地把研究结果作为依据。

There was a study once a long time ago about these notes that everybody else has taken for granted without checking for themselves.

我觉得过去（的研究）可能存在某些错误，这些注释被错误地诠释了。

I think there might have been a mistake in the past, that they were misread.

图书馆员：所以，获得Gray教授的……

学生：嗯……她这学期外出了，我只能请求她给我这个项目延期。

Student: Uh... she's away this semester. I had to beg her to give me extra time on this project.

我还没收到这门课程的分数呢。

I haven't even received a grade in the class yet.

并且，对于我这个专业来说，这门课程是选修其它课程的先决条件。

And this class is a prerequisite for other classes in my major.

我真的需要去读一下那些书，这样我才可以完成这个项目，然后回到正轨，按时毕业。

I really need to see those books so I can finish up this project and get back on course to graduate on time.

图书馆员：每个人都有特殊情况。

Librarian: Everybody has special circumstances.

I just need to look at a few pages with a strong magnifying glass.

图书管理员：在没有教授授权的情况下，我不能让你擅自进入。

Librarian: Well, I can't let you in without authorization from your professor.

学生：也许她会检查她的电子邮件。

Student: Maybe she'd be checking her email.

我真的认为我能在没有她的情况下解决这个问题。

I really thought I would be able to straighten this out without her.

你知道，她给了我很大的帮助，给我额外的时间。

You know, she did me a huge favor by giving me the extra time.

我觉得我和她的关系如履薄冰。

I feel like I'm skating on thin ice with her.

图书馆员：你知道，上学期你有幸获得看书的权利。

Librarian: You know, you were lucky to have had permission to look at the books last semester.

如果我们不秉持我们的政策，它们就会被破坏。

If we don't maintain our policies, they'll disintegrate.

学生：我知道了。只是她的一封电子邮件或电话可以吗？

Student: I know. Would an email from her or a phone call be good enough?

Why is the student unable to use later editions or reproductions of a book he mentions?

Why is the student reluctant to contact Professor Gray?

What does the woman imply about the rules regarding Special Collections?

What does the woman mean when she says this:

1."Student: Hi. I need to get into special collections, in particular the British literature. I was working with some of the William Blake books. 
Librarian: Well, then you must know that access is restricted. 
Student: Um, I was in a seminar with Professor Gray and she authorized access for us. 
Librarian: Oh, if that's the case, let me check. Right. Yeah. But it looks like that expired at the end of last semester. 
Student: But I really need to get back in there. See...I didn't quite finish my project. 
Librarian: Aha! The plot thickens. Well, it's easy enough. Have Professor Gray authorize you again. 
" 
2."Student: You see, these editions are rare and shouldn't be handled more than necessary. Can you work from later editions or microfilm? Not really. Actually my project...Well, it involves some annotations in the particular edition here. They haven't been reproduced because they are really not part of the text. You know, they generally clean them up. They are quite hard to see. 
Librarian: Well, often the characteristics of the manuscripts have been recorded. These types of extraneous markings might also be noted. 
Student: I don't think they are. They are very faint, and, well, I think I have a new angle on them. There was a study once a long time ago about these notes that everybody else has taken for granted without checking for themselves. I think there might have been a mistake in the past, that they were misread. 
" 
3."Librarian: So get Professor Gray... 
Student: Uh...she's away this semester I had to beg her to give me extra time on this project. I haven't even received a grade in the class yet. And this class is a prerequisite for other classes in my major. I really need to see those books so I can finish this project and get back on course to graduate on time. 
Librarian: Everybody has special circumstances. 
Student: Two hours? One hour? I promise to be careful. I just need to look at a few pages with a strong magnifying glass. 
Librarian: Well, I can let you in without authorization from your professor. Can you get in touch with her somehow? 
Student: Maybe she'd be checking her email. I really thought I would be able to straighten this out without her. You know, she did me a huge favor by giving me extra time. I feel like I'm skating on thin ice with her. 
Librarian: You know, you were lucky to have had permission to look at the books last semester. If we don't maintain our policies, they'll disintegrate. 
Student: I know. Would an email from her or a phone call be good enough? 
Librarian: Of course! 
"
