托福TPO/Official 29 Con 1听力原文Why does the man tell the woman that Japanese classes are popular?-新东方托福官方网校手机版

旁白：听一段学生和注册办公室工作人员之间的对话。

Narrator: Listen to a conversation between a student and an employee at the registrar’s office.

工作人员：早上好啊。我能帮你些什么？

学生：我对我的时间表有点困惑。

Student: Well, I am kind of confused about my schedule.

But one of the classes I registered for is missing.

工作人员：好的。让我看看到底怎么了。

Employee: OK. Let’s see if we can figure this out.

工作人员：好的。我从电脑上找到了你的时间表。

Employee: Alright. I am bringing up your schedule on the computer.

额……看上你你注册了天文学入门、美国文员研究和政府与政治入门。

Hmmm…It looks like you’re registered for Introduction to Astronomy, Survey of American Literature, and Introduction to Government and Politics.

学生：是的，但是我也注册了一门语言学课程——日语一级。

Student: Well, yes, but I also registered for a language class--Level One Japanese.

他们有没有……我不知道，取消了这门课？

Did they…I don’t know, maybe cancel it?

但还是让我看看这学期日语课的清单。

But let’s take a look at the list of Japanese classes being offered this semester just to make sure.

Student: I don’t remember the section number.

工作人员：哦，那就是第5单元。

Employee: Ah! That would be section five.

Well, according to this, the class is completely full.

你确定，你网上注册过了，是吗？

Are you sure…you, um, you registered online, right?

工作人员：你收到确认信息了吗？

Employee: Did you get a confirmation message?

工作人员：当你一旦成功注册一门课之后，电脑上就会有一条信息告诉你你注册了。

Employee: Well, once you’ve successfully registered for a class, the computer gives you a message saying you are in.

学生：哦。你的意思是在屏幕下方显示的你现在注册了这门课的那个？

Student: Oh. You mean that message at the bottom of the screen that says you’re now registered for this class?

我只收到了“需要导师签名”。

I got one that said “instructor’s signature required.”

我认为，我只要在上课的第一天去得到教授的签名就课可以了。

I thought I just needed to get to professor’s signature on the first day of class.

工作人员：你可以这样。但是，教授很可能不会签的。

Employee: Well, you do. But the professor might no sign it.

这个取决于这个课又多满以及教授愿意让多少额外的学生加入进来。

It depends on how full the class is and how many additional students the professor is willing to let in.

学生：所以这就是说我没有注册这门课。

Student: So that means I am not registered for the class.

至少在教授签字让我加入之前。

工作人员：我给你那张教授要签字的表格。

Employee: Let me give you the form the professor needs to sign.

在上课第一天去到那里，早点去，你可以在课程开始前和教授谈谈。

Go to the class on the first day, get there early, so you can talk to the professor before class starts.

Find out if he or she is willing to let you in.

如果是这样，把这张表带过来，然后我们就可以帮你注册这门课程了。

If so, bring the signed form back here and we’ll register you for the class.

如果不愿意，你不得不找其他课程了。

If not, well, you’ll have to find a different class.

我现在开始帮你找备选，以防万一。

I’d start looking for alternatives now, just in case.

学生：你觉得我能拿到这门课的几率有多大？

Student: What do you think my chances are of getting into this class?

工作人员：当学期开始以后，就会有学生加课或者退课了，所以很有可能会多一个位子。

Employee: Students often add and drop classes once the semester begins, so there is a real chance a seat would open up.

学生：我只是需要一门语言课程去毕业，而那门课是唯一一个符合我时间表的。

Student: It’s just that I need a language class to graduate and that’s the only Japanese class that fits my schedule.

工作人员：是的。但是根据你的记录，你现在才第一年。

Employee: Yes. But according to our records, you are only in your first year here.

如果你这学期拿不到这门课，你还有时间。

If you can’t take the class this semester, you still got time.

学生：我知道，我只希望我能够尽早满足我的要求。

Student: I know. I was just hoping to take care of my requirements earlier rather than later.

工作人员：我能够理解。我只是想让你知道你还有的选择。

Employee: I understand. I just wanted to make sure you know you had options.

Why does the man tell the woman that Japanese classes are popular?

Why does the man ask the woman if she registered for classes online?

What does the man imply when he points out that the woman is a first-year student?

Narrator Listen to part of a conversation between a student and an employee at the registrar’s office. Employee Morning. How can I help you? Student Well, I am kind of confused about my schedule. I printed it out this morning. But one of the classes I registered for is missing. Employee OK. Let’s see if we can figure this out. What’s your name? Student Lisa Johnson. Employee Alright. I am bringing up your schedule on the computer. Hmmm…It looks like you’re registered for Introduction to Astronomy, Survey of American Literature, and Introduction to Government and Politics. Student Well, yes, but I also registered for a language class—Level One Japanese. Did they…I don’t know, maybe cancel it? Employee I doubt it. The Japanese classes are quite popular. But let’s take a look at the list of Japanese classes being offered this semester just to make sure. Um… what section did you register for? Student I don’t remember the section number. But it’s the one that meets at eleven. Employee Ah! That would be section five. Well, according to this, the class is completely full. Are you sure…you, um, you registered online, right? Student Yeah. Employee Did you get a confirmation message? Student What do you mean? Employee Well, once you’ve successfully registered for a class, the computer gives you a message saying you are in. Student Oh. You mean that message at the bottom of the screen that says you’re now registered for this class? Actually, I didn’t get that message. I got one that said “instructor’s signature required.” I thought I just needed to get to professor’s signature on the first day of class. Employee Well, you do. But the professor might no sign it. It depends on how full the class is and how many additional students the professor is willing to let in.Student So that means I am not registered for the class. Not unless the professor signs me in. What, uh, what should I do now? Employee Let me give you the form the professor needs to sign. Go to the class on the first day, get there early, so you can talk to the professor before class starts. Find out if he or she is willing to let you in. If so, bring the signed form back here and we’ll register you for the class. If not, well, you’ll have to find a different class. I’d start looking for alternatives now, just in case. Student What do you think my chances are of getting into this class? Employee Students often add and drop classes once the semester begins, so there is a real chance a seat would open up. But of course there are no guarantees. Student It’s just that I need a language course to graduate and that’s the only Japanese class that fits my schedule. Employee Yes. But according to our records, you are only in your first year here. If you can’t take the class this semester, you still got time. Student I know. I was just hoping to take care of my requirements earlier rather than later. Employee I understand. I just wanted to make sure you know you had options.
