TUTOR: Hello, can I help you?

BRIAN: I was told to come here, because I'd like to talk to someone about taking a management course.

TUTOR: Right. I'm one of the tutors, so I should be able to help you.

指导老师：好的。我是指导老师之一，所以我应该能够帮到你。

I've decided to enroll on a part-time management course.

A friend of mine took one last year, and recommended it to me.

我的一个朋友去年参加了一个，然后把这个课程推荐给了我。

TUTOR: Right.

指导老师：好的。

BRIAN: Is there anything I should do before the course, like reading or anything?

布莱恩：课前我需要做些什么吗，比如读些什么或者做点什么？

TUTOR: We prefer to integrate reading with the course, so we don't give out a reading list in advance.

指导老师：我们倾向于将阅读整合在课程当中，所以课前我们并不会给出一个书单。

But we like people to write a case study, describing an organization they know.

但我们希望人们可以写一个案例分析，描述他们知道的一个组织机构。

BRIAN: I've already done that, my friends told me you wanted one.

布莱恩：这个我已经写好了，我朋友说你们想看这个。

But would it be possible to sit in on a teaching session, to see what it's like?

有没有可能旁听一节教学课程呢？我想看看课堂内的样子。

I haven't been a student for quite a while.

我已经很长时间没当过学生了。

TUTOR: Fine. Just let me know which date, and I'll arrange it with the tutor.

指导老师：好的。只要告诉我哪天就行，我会跟当天的指导老师安排这个事。

BRIAN: Now, could I ask you about the college facilities, please?

布莱恩：那么我能问问你学校的有关设施吗？

TUTOR: Anything in particular?

指导老师：有具体的方面吗？

BRIAN: Well, the course is one day a week, all day, isn't it?

布莱恩：是这样，课程是每周上一天，全天，对吧？

So presumably it's possible to buy food?

所以我觉得应该可以买到食物吧？

TUTOR: Yes, the refectory's open all day.

指导老师：是的，校餐厅全天开放。

BRIAN: Does it cater for special diets? I have some food allergies.

布莱恩：餐厅能够迎合特殊饮食吗？我有食物过敏。

TUTOR: Provided you warn the refectory in advance, it won't be a problem.

指导老师：只要你提前通知餐厅就行，没什么问题。

BRIAN: Good. What about facilities for young children?

布莱恩：好的。有小孩子相关的设施吗？

I'd like to bring my daughter here while I'm studying.

我学习的时候想带我女儿来。

TUTOR: How old is she?

指导老师：她多大了呢？

BRIAN: Three.

布莱恩：三岁。

TUTOR: Then she's eligible to join the nursery, which is supervised by a qualified Nursery Nurse.

指导老师：那么她是适合来我们托儿所的，这里是由具备认证资质的护理人员管理的。

The waiting list for a place is quite long though, so you ought to apply now.

不过排队的人挺多的，所以你最好现在就申请。

BRIAN: OK.

布莱恩：好的。

TUTOR: I don't know if our careers advice service would be of any interest to you?

指导老师：我想问问你是否对我们的职业规划服务感兴趣呢？

BRIAN: yes, it might help me decide how to develop my career after the course.

布莱恩：是的，这可能会对我在结课后该确定如何发展事业有帮助。

TUTOR: The centre has a lot of reference materials, and staff qualified to give guidance on a one-to-one basis.

指导老师：中心有很多的参考文献资料，而且员工也都具备资质来提供一对一的指导。

BRIAN: I noticed a fitness centre next to the college.

布莱恩：我注意到大学附近有健身房。

Is that for students?

是给学生用的吗？

TUTOR: It's open to everyone, but students pay an annual fee that's much less than the general public pay.

指导老师：那个是对公众开放的，但学生花费的年费比普通公众少很多。

BRIAN: And presumably the college library stocks newspapers and journals, as well as books?

布莱恩：学校图书馆是不是有很多报纸、期刊以及书籍呢？

TUTOR: Yes, and there's also an audio-visual room, for viewing and listening to videos, cassettes, and so on.

指导老师：是啊，而且还有一个视听室用来观看或者收听视频、磁带等等。

BRIAN: Is there also access to computers?

布莱恩：那里有电脑使用吗？

TUTOR: Yes, your tutor will need to arrange with the technical support team for you to get a password, so ask him or her about it when you start the course.

指导老师：有的，你的导师需要和技术支持团队一起为你安排一个密码，所以开课后你问他／她就行。

BRIAN: OK.

布莱恩：好的。
