Narrator: Listen to a conversation between a student and an employee in the university housing office.

旁白：请听一段学生和大学住宿办公室雇员的对话。

Employee: Hi. Can I help you?

雇员：嗨，有什么可以帮到你的吗？

Student: I hope so.

学生：有的。

I am taking a class this summer and I need to see about getting campus housing.

我这个暑假修了一门课，我需要找学校里的住处。

Employee: Oh, sorry.

雇员：哦，很抱歉。

I am afraid the deadline to apply for summer housing in the dormitories has already passed.

申请学校的宿舍的截止日期已经过去了。

I could help you look for something off campus.

我可以帮你找找校外住宿。

Student: Well, see, I only found out yesterday I need to take this course.

学生：你看，我昨天才发现我得上这门课。

It wasn't really my idea.

这真的不是我故意的。

I mean I was gonna take it in the fall.

我的意思是我本来是秋天修这门课的。

It is a course I need for my major in Cognitive Science, Professor Wilson was supposed to teach it but now...

这是我认知科学的主修专业需要选的一门课，Wilson教授本来是可以秋季来教这门课的，但是现在……

Employee: Oh, right. I heard he is taking a last-minute leave of absence next year.

雇员：哦，对的。我听说他临时决定明年不在校了。

I hope everything is okay.

希望你们一切都好。

Student: Oh yeah. He'll be in Botswana helping develop the new cognitive science program at our sister university there.

学生：哦是的。他要去我们的兄弟学校，在Botswana，去发展那边的新的认知科学项目。

Anyway I have to take the course this summer if I want to graduate on time.

不论如何我必须这个暑假上了这门课，如果我想按时毕业的话。

I’ve got a note from the dean approving the whole situation.

我从院长那里开了一张条子，来帮我一路开绿灯。

Employee: Oh, well, in that case I guess we'd better make an exception for you.

雇员：哦，好的，既然这样我觉得我们要给你破例了。

Only problem is most of the bedrooms are gone already.

唯一一个问题是大多数的宿舍已经有人住了。

Was there any particular dorm you were interested in?

你有什么对于住宿的偏好吗？

Student: Well, I’m in Randolph Hall right now, but my roommate's graduating in May so I have signed up for a single in Murphy for the fall, room 206.

学生：嗯，我现在住在Randolph Hall，但是我的舍友五月就毕业了，所以我要在Murphy申请秋季的单人间，房间号是206。

I was hoping I might be able to just move in there now.

我希望现在就可以搬进去。

Employee: Well, let's see what the computer says.

雇员：让我查一下电脑哈。

Sorry, that room's scheduled for repainting and maintenance over the summer.

不好意思，那间屋子需要在暑期进行粉刷和保养。

So I can't give it to you.

所以我不能把它安排给你。

Student: I don't really care if it's repainted.

学生：我其实不介意它是不是再次粉刷过。

I’ll be covering most of the walls with posters anyway.

我会把大多数的墙壁贴上海报的。

Couldn't I just take it as is?

我可以就这样住进去吗？

Employee: Sorry, no. It is actually a city ordinance.

雇员：抱歉，不行的。这实际上是城市的一条条例。

All rental rooms including dorm rooms have to be painted at least once every five years.

所有出租的房间，包括大学宿舍，至少要每五年粉刷一次。

Student: Oh, well, how about if I stay where I’m for the summer?

学生：好吧，那我可以继续住我现在的宿舍吗？

I’m pretty sure they just painted it a couple years ago.

我很确定它最近几年被粉刷过。

Employee: Hang on, let me check.

雇员：稍等，让我查一下。

You said Randolph, right?

你是说继续住在Randolph，对吗？

Student: Room 122.

学生：房间号是122。

Employee: Oops. Afraid not.

雇员：哦。可能不行。

The entire floor is taken.

整层楼都已经有人住了。

Student: Oh, well. Guess I’ll just have to move twice.

学生：哦好吧，我可能需要搬两次宿舍了。

Employee: One sec. I've got one more idea.

雇员：稍等一下，我有了个主意。

Here we go. There is a room open in Murphy just down the hall from your new one.

你看。有一间Murphy的宿舍可以住，沿着走廊走一段路就是你秋季的新宿舍。

That way come fall, you'd only have to carry your things a few doors down.

这样等你到了秋季开学，你就只需要把东西搬到隔着几间屋的新宿舍就好了。

Student: Okay, works for me.

学生：好的，这个我可以接受。

Employee: Now, that room is a double.

雇员：这间屋是双人的。

Right now you have got it to yourself but there's a chance someone else might sign up at the last minute, not likely.

现在你自己住，但是也可能有人会住进来，这个不一定的。

But you could end up with a roommate for the summer.

你可能最终需要和一个舍友一起住到夏季结束。

Would that be okay?

你可以接受吗？

Student: Oh, sure. I can get along with anyone for a couple of months.

学生：哦，当然了。就几个月，我和谁一起住都行。

Employee: Okay, then, I will get the forms printed up.

雇员：好的，那么，我要打印表格了。

They should be ready for you by tomorrow afternoon.

明天下午你的屋子应该就准备好了。

You can stop by and sign them then.

你可以到时候过来停一下，把要签字的东西签了。

Student: Excellent, thanks.

学生：太棒了，谢谢你。
