托福TPO/Official 54 Con 1听力原文Why does the man go to see the woman?【新东方在线】

旁白: 请听一段学生和大学历史图书馆雇员之间的对话。

Narrator: Listen to a conversation between a student and an employee in the university's historical library.

女雇员：早上好！我能帮你找些什么吗？

Female employee: Morning! What can I help you find?

男学生：嗯，我在网上看到学校图书馆有当地餐馆的菜单和其他东西，比如春田小餐厅。

Male student: Well, I saw on the Internet that the university library has menus and things from local restaurants--like The Springfield Eatery.

女雇员：是的，许多当地的企业都已向我们的收集中心捐赠了很多的材料了，包括那家餐厅。

Female employee: Right. A lot of local businesses have donated materials to our collection, including that restaurant.

我非常确定我们已经有10到15箱那里捐赠的材料了。

I'm pretty sure we have, uh, ten or fifteen boxes of materials from there.

男学生：好的，我原以为你在主图书馆，所以我先去了那里，他们让我来这儿了。

Male student: Good. I thought you were located in the main library, so I went there first and they sent me here.

我还不知道这个大学有一个独立的历史图书馆。

I hadn't realized the university had a separate historical library.

我认为你正在做的事情是很好的，收集当地的文档和照片，对该地区做好记录。

I think what you're doing is great-collecting local documents and photos-keeping a record of the region.

女雇员：我很开心你看到了它的价值。现在我们已经收集到了70年的材料了。

Female employee: I'm glad you see the value in it. We've been collecting materials for going on seventy years now.

去年，我们办了一个展览，是关于镇子的广场在过去50年的时间里发生了怎样的变迁。

Last year we had an exhibition that showcased how the town square has changed over the past 50 years.

这个展览帮助起到了一点宣传的作用，但是，你是对的，许多的学生不知道我们的存在。

So that got the word out a little...but you're right-a lot of students don't know we exist.

除非修历史专业的。所以，你正在寻找一些上课要用的资料吗？

Well, unless they're majoring in history. So, you're looking for something for a class?

男学生：不是的。我奶奶在这个大学读书过，并且那个时候，她做过服务生。

Male student: Not exactly. My grandmother went to this university, and while she was here, she worked as a waitress.

Female employee: At The Springfield Eatery?

男学生：是的，并且她是在那里遇见我爷爷的！

Male student: Yes, and that's where she met my grandfather!

他们今年要庆祝他们的第50个纪念日。并且，我发现在网上你们有一些餐馆以前的菜单。

So, they're celebrating their fiftieth anniversary this year, and I noticed online that you have old menus from some of the restaurants.

我一直在想，我能够找到他们相遇的那一年的餐馆菜单并且印一份出来给他们。

I was thinking I could find one from the year they met and frame a copy for them.

女雇员：想法很独特！你正在找哪一年的？

Female employee: What a unique idea! What year are you looking for?

女雇员：我知道我们有几份20世纪50年代的餐单，但是你自己要确认一下,

Female employee: I know we have a few menus from the 1950s, but you'll have to check,

这期间有些空白，有几年是我们没收到新的材料，也有时候餐馆很长一段时间都不会改变他们的菜单。

there are some gaps, some years we didn't receive any new materials, and sometimes restaurants go a while without changing their menus.

男学生：噢，不！我真的想要给他们准备一些特别的东西。

Male student: Oh no! I really wanted to give them something special.

女雇员： 呃，不如这样？我们也有很多的照片，所以有可能你能发现一张你奶奶的照片，或者甚至可能发现一张你爷爷奶奶两个人的照片。

Female employee: Well...how about this? We also have a lot of photos, so maybe you could find one of your grandmother-or maybe even one with both of your grandparents.

女雇员：唯一的问题是大部分的材料仍然在箱子里，没有人有时间去整理它们，所以筛选起来需要费些时间。

Female employee: The only thing is, most of our materials are still in boxes-no one's ever taken the time to organize them, so it-it might require a fair amount of sifting.

男学生：嗯，我接下来将会有几个小测验，但是如果可以的话，我能快速的浏览一下。

Male student: Hmm, I have a couple of tests coming up, but I can take a quick look, if that's ok.

我知道一些图书馆对于处理精美的或者老的材料会有一些特别的规定。

I know some libraries have special rules for handling delicate or old materials.

女雇员：呃，它们事实上并不特别古老。只有一些正常的规定，不能带食物和饮料。

Female employee: Well, these aren't particularly old. Just the usual rules apply, no food or drinks.

男学生：好的。谢谢你的帮助。

What does the woman say about an exhibition the library held last year?

What does the woman imply about the menus?

What does the woman suggest that the man consider doing?
