These all have to be finalized last week.

Employee: Well, yes. The course enrollment period ended last week.

工作人员：是的。上个星期课程登记就截止了。

But since our office was supposed to get this straightened out for you before then…Let me see what I can do.

但是，既然我们办公室应该在那之前把这个更正过来，让我看看我能做点什么。

Uh…did the university give approval for you to earn four credits for this internship?

学校对于你这个实习获得4个学分这件事许可了吗？

Because the other students at the center for marine research are only getting three.

We'll be collecting data on changes to the seafloor out in the open ocean.

I want to do advanced study in oceanography when I graduate.

我毕业以后打算在海洋学方面做高级的研究。

So I really want to get a sense of what real research is like.

Employee: I see. Now let's try and see if we can…

Oh. OK. I see the problem.

There are two kinds of internships listed here--regular and research.

Student: She is in charge of all the internships.

学生：她负责所有的实习。

Employee: She just needs to send an email so I have an official record.

Then I can switch it.
