Narrator：Listen to a conversation between a student and a university administrator.

旁白：听一段学生和大学行政人员之间的对话。

Student：Hi, I have some questions about the dormitory fire inspections.

学生：你好，我有一些关于宿舍消防检查的问题想咨询。

I made an appointment to see you. My name's Marsha Travers.

我预约了见您。我叫玛莎・特拉弗斯。

Administrator：Oh yeah. You're my 10:30. Right.

管理人员：哦，是的。你是我 10 点半的预约。没错。

Fire inspections are going on now. You can check the university webpage to see when your dorm will be inspected.

消防检查现在正在进行中。你可以查看大学网页，了解你的宿舍什么时候会被检查。

Student：Oh. Well, mine was already done.

学生：哦。那个，我的宿舍已经检查过了。

Administrator：Oh, right. I have your information right here, should have looked at it more carefully.

管理人员：哦，对。我这儿有你的信息，本应该更仔细看看的。

Student：Marsha Travers, single room.

学生：玛莎・特拉弗斯，单人间。

Well, I haven't gotten the report yet, but I wanted to explain about my extension cord.

那个，我还没收到报告，但我想解释一下我的延长线的事。

I know it's a violation, but it was just temporary.

我知道这是违规的，但那只是暂时的。

I mean, I was planning to move the furniture around this weekend so the fridge'd be closer to the electrical outlet, and then I was going to get rid of the extension cord.

我的意思是，我本来计划这周末把家具挪一挪，这样冰箱就能离电源插座近一点，然后我就会把延长线处理掉。

Administrator：Yeah. Extension cords are against the rules too.

管理人员：是啊。延长线也是违反规定的。

The inspector must have missed it so, in fact, you have another violation.

检查员肯定是漏掉了，所以，实际上，你还有另一项违规。

Student：Oh, me and my big mouth.

学生：哦，都怪我多嘴。

Administrator：No, I'm glad you mentioned it. This is for your safety and everybody else's too.

管理人员不，很高兴你提到了。这是为了你的安全，也是为了其他人的安全。

There are no shortcuts with the fire codes here.

在这里，消防规范是没有捷径可走的。

The real problem is the refrigerator. The other problems are important too, like the electric kettle, but the most urgent one is the fridge.

真正的问题是冰箱。其他问题也很重要，比如电水壶，但最紧急的是冰箱。

Student：Right. I just heard that kettles are a violation so mine's spending the rest of the semester tucked away in my suitcase.

学生：是的。我刚听说电水壶是违规的，所以我的电水壶这学期剩下的时间都会被藏在我的行李箱里。

But the refrigerator? I just bought it.

但是冰箱呢？我才刚买的。

Administrator：Well, if you'd read the student handbook, you'd have seen that the regulations are very clear.

管理人员：那个，如果你读了学生手册，你就会发现规定写得很清楚。

Students can only bring in models smaller than five cubic feet, and your fridge is twice that size. It must take up half the room.

学生只能带入小于 5 立方英尺的型号，而你的冰箱是那个尺寸的两倍。它肯定占了房间的一半。

Student：Do you have a copy of the handbook? I don't think I ever got one.

学生：你有手册的副本吗？我觉得我从来没拿到过。

Administrator：I'll give you one before you leave.

管理人员：你走之前我会给你一本。

Student：Thanks. But I bought this refrigerator from another student and she'd been using it for years.

学生：谢谢。但我这台冰箱是从另一个学生那里买的，她用了好几年了。

Well, at least two years.

至少两年了。

Administrator：Well, then she didn't live in a standard dormitory.

管理人员：那么，她当时肯定不是住在标准宿舍里。

Student：She lived in Harper Hall.

学生：她住在哈珀楼。

Administrator：Well, Harper Hall is different. All the units there are suites, apartments really, with small kitchens.

管理人员：嗯，哈珀楼不一样。那里所有的单元都是套房，实际上是带小厨房的公寓。

Residents supply their own appliances like microwaves and fridges.

住户自己配备像微波炉和冰箱之类的电器。

Student：Oh, so the dorm rules about appliances don't apply there?

学生：哦，所以关于电器的宿舍规定在那里不适用吗？

Administrator：No, not at Harper Hall.

管理人员：是的，在哈珀楼不适用。

Student：Oh boy, and I was so pleased with my purchase. What do I do now?

学生：哦，天哪，我当时还对买了这台冰箱挺满意的。我现在该怎么办呢？

Administrator：Well, you have two weeks to dispose of the fridge.

管理人员：那个，你有两周的时间处理掉这台冰箱。

You can store it or sell it, but it can't stay in your room.

你可以把它存起来或者卖掉，但不能让它留在你的房间里。

Student：I can't believe this, and I had to rope in all my friends to help me get it up to the third floor. You have no idea.

学生：真不敢相信，我还得拉上我所有的朋友帮我把它搬到三楼。你都想象不到有多费劲。

Administrator：Well, how you got it up there without anyone stopping you, I don't know.

管理人员：那个，真不知道你是怎么把它搬上去而没被人拦住的。

This is a first warning though, so there's no fine.

不过这是第一次警告，所以没有罚款。

If you can't find a buyer who'll pick it up and if you decide to hold onto it, we'll help you move it down stairs to the storage area.

如果你找不到愿意来取货的买家，而且你决定暂时留着它，我们会帮你把它搬到楼下的储物区。
