托福TPO/Official 58 Con 1听力原文What is the student's main concern about his job?【新东方在线】

旁白：听大学勤工俭学办公室中学生和员工之间的对话。

NARRATOR: Listen to a conversation between a student and an employee in the university work-study office.

MALE STUDENT: Hi, I’m, uh, Paul Bensen.

员工：保罗·本森？ 可巧了，博物馆长正好发了一份关于你的传真，关于你两个月的工作回顾。

FEMALE EMPLOYEE: Paul Bensen? Oh! That’s a coincidence. The museum director sent a fax about you… your two-month review, um, your job review.

学生：好吧，我们可以先做这个。

MALE STUDENT: Oh, OK. I-I guess we can do that first.

员工：好的。 让我们看看。总地来说，你做得不错，我必须承认。

FEMALE EMPLOYEE: Alright. Uh, let’s see… overall, you’re doing a good job. I have to stress that.

但博物馆长注意到你在工作时间邀请朋友过来。

But the director did note that you invited friends over during working hours.

你并没有尽职责接待访客，并回答有关户外雕塑花园的问题，而是在与你的朋友交谈。

Instead of greeting visitors and answering questions about the outdoor sculpture garden, like you were supposed to, you talked with your friends.

学生：只有一次而已，他们才刚刚出现。 我没有邀他们来。我和馆长解释过了。

MALE STUDENT: It was only that one time. And they just showed up. I-I did not invite them. I straightened it out with the director.

员工：好的。 但是，你仍应该要表现得专业一点，做你该做的。

FEMALE EMPLOYEE: OK. But, of course, you’re still expected to behave professionally, do your job.

学生：是的，我懂。但实际上我真的很想在其他地方工作。

MALE STUDENT: Yeah, I know. But actually, uh, the fact is, I’d really like to work somewhere else.

也许去图书馆，或者做个辅导老师什么的？我希望你能帮我。我带了更新的简历。

Maybe in a library, or as a tutor somewhere? I was hoping you could help. I, uh, I brought my updated résumé.

员工：嗯，我不知道……你申请博物馆是因为你是美术专业的。你在面试中显然给馆长留下了很好的印象。

FEMALE EMPLOYEE: Well, I don’t know—you applied at the museum because you’re a fine-arts major. And you apparently made a very good impression on the museum director at your interview.

记录里说，关于雕塑你问了一些很好的问题还做了笔记。

You asked good questions about the sculptures and took notes, it says here.

这也是为什么他们雇你还愿意付钱给你。博物馆通常使用志愿者干活.

That’s why they hired you and why they were willing to pay you. Museums normally use volunteers, you know.

学生：我确实很喜欢研究雕塑。

MALE STUDENT: I did enjoy learning about the sculptures.

员工：那很好，你的工作就是与公众分享这些信息。

FEMALE EMPLOYEE: Good, and your job is to share that information with the public.

学生：是的，我知道，但我总是担心会提供错误的信息。

MALE STUDENT: Yeah, I know. But I’m always worried I’ll give out wrong information.

如果我回答不出问题来，那可太尴尬了。

And if I can’t answer a question, it’s embarrassing, you know?

员工：所以问题就是这份工作的性质？要与公众互动？

FEMALE EMPLOYEE: So the problem is the public nature of your work?

学生：是的，我一开始并没意识到这样做会有多不舒服。我在那里申请是因为我想有一天成为博物馆馆长。

MALE STUDENT: Yeah. I didn’t realize how uncomfortable I’d feel doing this. I applied there because I’d like to be a museum curator someday.

员工：嗯，有些博物馆工作不涉及与公众互动。在幕后工作。

FEMALE EMPLOYEE: Well, there are museum jobs that don’t involve interacting with the public. You know, working behind the scenes.

你可以帮着设展，记录新的收入展品，或者担任策展人办公室的助理。

You could help set up exhibits, document new acquisitions, maybe work as an assistant in the curator’s office.

你大可去询问那里有没有其他机会，这也无妨。

It wouldn’t hurt to ask about other opportunities there.

学生：你能打电话问问，我可不可以和策展人一起工作，像你说的那样？

MALE STUDENT: Would you call and ask if I could, like you said, work with the curator? I’ve only met her a couple times, but she…

员工：我认为你应该打电话告诉馆长，跟她讲讲你刚才讲的，再问问他们能帮上什么忙。

FEMALE EMPLOYEE: You know, I think you should call. Tell the curator what you told me, and ask if they could use any help.

员工：嗯，你还是可以问问她对你未来有帮助的信息，比如你应该修什么课程，成为策展人需要什么样的工作经验。

FEMALE EMPLOYEE: Well, you could still ask for information that might help you in the future, like what courses you should take and what kind of work experience is necessary to become a curator.

学生：是的，那肯定有用。但是你愿意帮我找找别的工作吗？

MALE STUDENT: Yeah, that would definitely help. But then would you be willing to help me find a job somewhere else?

员工：如果是这样的话，我是可以。

FEMALE EMPLOYEE: I suppose, if it came to that.

但是，如果你对雕塑花园有了更多了解，那么你会获得更多的信心，也许会更喜欢你现在的工作。

But you know, if you just educated yourself more about the sculpture garden, then you’d gain more confidence—and maybe enjoy your current job more.

MALE STUDENT:Yeah, I guess you’re right.
