托福TPO/Official 24 Con 1听力原文How does the man react to the information the woman gives him about where computer science books are sold?-新东方托福官方网校手机版

旁白：请听一段学生与店员在书店中的对话。

Narrator: Listen to a conversation between a student and a clerk in the bookstore.

学生：你好，您能告诉我在哪里能找到《新兴科学》吗？是斯黛芬沃尔夫莱曼写的。

Student: Hi. Can you tell me where to find New Kind of Science? by, uh, by Stephen Wolfram.

学生：……呃，我找不到这本书。

店员：好的，我在电脑里查询一下。

Clerk: OK. Let me look it up on the computer for you.

学生：嗯, 斯黛芬沃尔夫莱曼。

店员：好的，我们看一下……恩……没有显示……呃……我没有看到。

Clerk: OK. Let's see...Hmm...no, it's not coming up. Hmm...I am not seeing it

店员：你买这书是为了我们大学的课程，是吗？

Clerk: This is for a class here at the university, right?

学生：是的，这是我上的一门课的指定参考书目。

Student: Yeah, it's assigned reading for a class that I am taking.

店员：是为了这个学期，是吧？

You are not buying it in advance for next year or anything?

学生：不，不。是为我现在上的课买的。

Student: No, no. It's for a class I am taking now.

我的意思是我是本科生，我只是在研究生部上这一门课，所以……

I mean, I am an undergrad, but I am just taking this one class in the graduate department, so...

但是，恩……让我看看……有可能是……大概是输入条目的人将题目或作者的名字拼错了，所以我现在在电脑上找不到，就无法告诉你这本书是不是卖光了。

But, hmm...let me see...maybe it's just...it could be that whoever that entered it misspelled the title or the author's name, so I can't find it on the computer and I can't tell if it's sold out.

但是如果卖光了的话，我们会在一个星期左右收到新货的。

But if it's sold out, we would probably be getting a new shipment within about a week or so.

学生：哦，但是我希望能早点买到，因为作业已经布置给我们了，我想我可以从图书馆借到这本书。

Student: OK. Well, uh, I was hoping to get it sooner because like we already have assignments and you know, I mean, I guess I can get it from the library.

如果我们增订了的话，在电脑里应该能查到订购的信息。

If we've ordered more, then that back orders information should be in the computer too.

让我看看啊，延期交货……沃尔福莱曼，史黛芬……不，我没有查到。

Let's see...back order...Wolfram, Stephen...no, I am not seeing it.

我可以试着在数据库中查询一下他的课程。

I could try searching for his or her classes in the database.

学生：嗯……好的。是凯恩教授。

学生：不对，是凯恩教授。K-A-Y-N-E。

Student: No. It's professor Kayne. K-A-Y-N-E.

店员：哦，是计算机科学的教材，是吧？

Clerk: Oh. It's for a computer science course, is it?

计算机科学图书在对面的计算机书店里可以买到。

Computer science books are sold across the street in the computer store.

Student: Oh, are there signs up anywhere?

学生：或许他们应该做一些提示。

这样就能为我们节省不少时间了。

店员：是啊，我也认为是这样。

Clerk: Yeah. Well, anyway, I'll bet that's the problem.

如果没有，你可以再回来，我们帮你从其它地方找一下。

But if not, come back, and I'll help you find it somewhere else.

我可以打听一下其它的书店，他们说不定会有。好吗？

I can call around to see if other bookstores might have it. OK?

Why can the man NOT find the book he needs?

What are two possible reasons that the speakers consider for why the man cannot find the book?

What does the woman offer to do for the student?

How does the man react to the information the woman gives him about where computer science books are sold?

Listen again to part of the conversation. Then answer the question.

Narrator: Listen to a conversation between a student and a clerk in the bookstore. 
Student: Hi. Can you tell me where to find New Kind of Science? By, uh, by Stephen Wolfram. 
Clerk: OK 
Student: ...uh, I couldn't find it 
Clerk: OK. Let me look it up on the computer for you. Who would you say the author was? 
Student: It's a Stephen Wolfram. 
Clerk: OK. Let's see... Hmm... no, it's not coming up. Hmm..,. I am not seeing it 
Student: Um...hmm. 
Clerk: This is for a course here at the university, right? 
Student: Yeah, It's assigned reading for a class I am taking. 
Clerk: It's for the semester, right? You are not buying it in advance for next year or anything. 
Student: No, no. It's for a class I am taking now. 
Clerk: Hmm... 
Student: Oh, oh, you know what? Um, it's for a graduate class. Would that maybe make a difference? I mean, I am an undergrad, but I am just taking this one class in the graduate department, so... 
Clerk: No, no. I don't think that's it. That shouldn't make any difference. But, hmm... let me see... maybe it's just...it could be that whoever that entered it misspelled the title or the author's name, so I can't find it on the computer and I can't tell if it's sold out. But if it's sold out, we would probably be getting a new shipment within about a week or so. 
Student: Well, uh, I was hoping to get it sooner because like we already have assignments and you know, I mean, I guess I can get it from the library. 
Clerk: Right, of course. But I am trying to check. If we've ordered more, then that back orders information should be in the computer too. Let's see... back order... Wolfram, Stephen..,. no, no. I am not seeing it. I am sorry. We just don't seem to carry it. 
Student: Uh-huh. 
Clerk: This is odd though. What is...what's your professor's name? I could try searching for his or her classes in the database. That might help 
Student: Um...OK. It's professor Kayne. 
Clerk: K-A-N-E? 
Student: No. It's professor Kayne, K-A-Y-N-E. He's in the computer science department. 
Clerk: Oh. It's for a computer science course, is it? 
Student: Yeah. 
Clerk: Well, that must be it. Computer science books are sold across the street in the computer bookstore. 
Student: Hi. Can you tell me where to find New Kind of Science? By, uh, by Stephen Wolfram. 
Clerk: OK 
Student: ...uh, I couldn't find it

Student: Yeah. 
Clerk: Well, that must be it. Computer science books are sold across the street in the computer bookstore. 
Student: Are there signs up anywhere? 
Clerk: I don't know. 
Student: Maybe they should put some up. It could have save us both some time. 
Clerk: Yeah. Well, anyway, I'll bet that's the problem. Check across the street. I’ll bet they have it. But if not, come back, and I'll help you find it somewhere else. I can call around to see if other bookstores might have it. OK? 
Student: OK. Thanks a lot. Bye 
Clerk: Bye
Clerk: Oh. It's for a computer science course, is it? 
Student: Yeah.
