Narrator: Listen to a conversation between a student and a facilities supervisor. Student:Hi. I know it's Friday afternoon and all, but this is kind of an emergency.

旁白：听一段学生和设施主管之间的对话。学生：嗨。我知道现在是周五下午，但这是紧急情况

Supervisor:Oh, what kind of emergency exactly?

管理员：那到底是什么样的紧急情况呢?

Student:Well, I mean, there's no danger or anything. It's like a personal emergency. It's about my apartment.

学生: 我是说，不是危险什么的。是个人紧急情况，关于我的公寓。

Supervisor:Well, I really only deal with dormitories. The apartment facilities supervisor's office is next door, room 208, ask for Jim.

管理员: 我只负责宿舍的事。公寓设施，监工，办公室，隔壁208房间，找Jim。

Student:I just came from there. They sent me to you. It's a problem with my stove.

学生: 我刚从那里回来。他们让我来找你。我的炉子出现了问题

Supervisor:And they sent you here. All right. Now, what's the problem?

管理员: 他们让你到这里。好吧。现在，问题是什么?

Student:My stove isn't working at all. It won't even turn on.

学生: 我的炉子完全坏了。根本打开不了。

Supervisor:It's electric?

管理员: 是电的?

Student:Yes.

学生：是的。

Supervisor:Okay, our electrician is out today, his daughter is getting married tomorrow. So realistically he probably won't get to it until Monday afternoon. Perhaps Tuesday.

管理员: 好吧，我们的电工今天不在，他女儿明天要结婚了。所以实际上，他可能要到周一下午才能开始做这件事。也许星期二。

Student:Really, we have to go without a stove for a whole weekend, possibly more?

学生: 真的吗，我们整个周末都不能用炉子了，甚至可能要更久?

Supervisor:Yes, as you pointed out, this is not a dire emergency, so it's going to be handled under the normal maintenance schedule, which is Monday through Friday.

管理员：是的，正如你所指出的，这不是一个可怕的紧急情况，所以它将在正常的维护计划下处理，也就是周一到周五。

And I know for a fact that Monday is already pretty tight, the electrician will have a lot to catch up on. So when I say possibly Tuesday, I'm just trying to be realistic.

而且我知道周一已经很紧了，电工有很多事情要赶。所以当我说可能周二的时候，我只是想从实际出发一点。

Student:But I really rely on that stove. I don't have any kind of on campus dining arrangement or contract.

学生: 但我真的很依赖那个炉子。我没有任何校内用餐安排或合同。

Supervisor:Well, I understand, but …

管理员: 我明白，但是…

Student:And it's not even the whole problem. I'm expecting a bunch of people to show up tomorrow night.

学生: 这甚至不是问题的全部。我想明晚会有很多人来。

I'm going to be hosting a meeting of the editorial staff of the school paper. And a dinner was scheduled.

我要主持一次校报编辑部的会议。晚餐已经安排好了。

Supervisor:Now I see which you meant by a personal emergency, but all I can really do is put in a work request. I'm sorry.

管理员: 我知道你说的私人紧急情况是什么意思了，但我能做的只有提交一份工作申请。我很抱歉。

Student:I just got finished shopping for all the food for the meeting. Ah. I guess, I'll just have to call it off.

学生: 我刚买完会议用的食物。啊。我想，我只能取消了。

Supervisor:Why would you cancel the meeting?

管理员: 你为什么要取消会议?

Student:Well, I mean, I could do it next week.

学生: 我是说，我可以下周再召开。

Supervisor:Couldn't you like use a neighbour or something?

主管: 你就不能用邻居什么的吗?

Student:Ew...I don't think so. I mean, the only neighbors I really know well enough to ask are the guys next door, if you saw the state of that kitchen, you'd understand.

学生: 噁... 我是不会这样做的。我是说，我唯一真正认识并且熟到可以询问借厨房的邻居就是住在隔壁的家伙们，如果你看到他们厨房的状况，你会明白为什么我不愿意去借用的。

I'm not sure I could find the stove under all the mess.

我不确定能不能在这么乱的地方找到炉子。

Supervisor:I see. Well, we could try to set you up in one of our conference rooms in the Johnson building.

管理员: 我明白了。我们可以试着把你安排在约翰逊大楼的一间会议室里。

Student:Really? I thought that student groups couldn't book the rooms in Johnson.

学生: 真的吗? 我以为学生团体不能在约翰逊大楼订房间。

Supervisor:Well, normally they can't. However, given your situation, I can try to put in a word with some people and see if we can make an exception here.

管理员: 嗯，通常是不能。不过，考虑到你的情况，我可以试着和一些人谈谈，看看我们能不能破例。

There is also a full kitchen in the Johnson building, so you'd be covered there.

约翰逊大楼还有一个完整的厨房，所以你可以在那里做饭和用餐。

Student:Okay. Yes. That definitely would work.

学生: 好吧。是的。这肯定有用的。

Um. Do you have any idea when you know if you can make this happen or not? Because I'll need to let people know.

嗯。你知道什么时候能做到吗？因为我需要让大家知道。

Supervisor:Yeah, I understand people need to know what's going on. Um. Let me get back to you in an hour or so on this. Can you leave me your phone number?

管理员: 是的，我理解人们想知道发生了什么。嗯。我一小时后再给你答复。你能给我留下你的电话号码吗?

Student:Sure. Thanks.

学生: 当然。谢谢。
