托福TPO/Official 23 Con 1听力原文What does the man suggest the student do?-新东方托福官方网校手机版

旁白:请听一段学生与校园活动主任之间的对话。

Narrator: Listen to a conversation between a student and the director of campus activities.

学生：我来是……呃，我有件事我不太明白。

Student: I'm here 'cause... well, there's something I don't understand.

但是今天早上我查询校园网站的事件栏。

And this morning I checked the events section of the university's website.

主任：你是什么时候提交的申请？

Director: And when did you summit this request?

I followed the instructions very carefully.

我确定是上个周三，因为我知道声明必须在公布之日的三个工作日之前提交。

I am sure it was Wednesday, because I know announcements have be submitted three business days ahead of the posting day.

是我们一直想要联系的一位法国作家。

It is an author from France we have been trying to get for a while.

现在他终于同意要来了，却没人去参加。

And now that he's finally agreed to come, no one will be there.

主任：哇，他真的大老远的法国来啊？

Director: Wow. This person is really coming all the way from France?

学生：哦，不是。他在法国教的很好，今年他要来纽约授课。

Student: Oh, no. He is teaching in New York City this year.

我们可以通过许诺他，会有一个很大一群人来推荐他的想法。

We were able to sell him on the idea by promising there will be a nice size crowd.

我们十分有信心能够将他推荐给广大的读者，因为我们的团体中对他十分推崇。

I felt confident about that because I know how enthusiastic our group is.

学生：呃？我们的团体比较松散，就是法语系的一些对法国文学感兴趣的学生。

Student: Um? Well, it is kind of a loose group, you know, just a bunch of students in the French department who are interested in French literature.

我想你可以叫我们法国文学阅读俱乐部。

I guess you could call us the French Literature Reading Group.

主任：好的。你们的团体是认证团体吗？

Director: OK. And it is a recognized group?

学生：但是如果我们承担所有的外勤工作，法语系会为我们赞助。

Student: But the French Department is funding this, on the condition that we do all the legwork.

好了，看来我们的确在上个星期三接到了你的声明。

Well, it looks like we did receive your announcement last Wednesday.

但是估计是编辑决定不把你们的活动登在本周的目录中。

Uh, looks like the editors must have decided not to include your event in this week's listings.

主任：是这样的，我们并不是自动发表的。

Director: Well, we don't post things automatically.

我们有许多要求，所以不能发表所有的项目。

We get so many requests that we couldn't possibly post them all.

所以那些被认为太过于专业化，不具有广泛吸引力的活动就……

So events that are thought to be too specialized, without the potential for really wide appeal...

学生：哇，我不得不说我很惊讶。

Student: Wow, I've gotta say, that does surprise me.

我的意思是，他的确是十分有名。

我真的觉得除了我们的团队还会有很多人真正对此有兴趣。

I really do think there would be a genuine interest beyond my group.

如果是因为宣传不够而没有人参加，那将会是个遗憾。

It would be a shame if no one showed up because there wasn't enough publicity.

主任：我认为那也不会有什么用，因为我们已经开始做下个星期的计划了。

Director: I don't think that would do you much good since we are already working on next week's schedule.

但是你或许可以让法语系的网站发一个声明。

But maybe you could ask the French department to post the announcement on its website.

你还可以跟其它系联系一下，跟这个有关系的系。

And maybe you could approach some other departments as well, you know, relevant ones.

学生：我就知道我应该做一个海报。

Student: I knew we should have done a poster.

但大家都说，哦，你只要在网上宣传就可以了。

But everybody was like, oh, you can just post it online.

What is the cause of the student's problem?

What did the student's group have to promise the author in order to get him to visit the university?

What does the man imply about the editors of the university's web site?

What does the man suggest the student do?

Listen again to part of the conversation. Then answer the question. Why does the student say this:

Narrator: Listen to a conversation between a student and the director of campus activities. 
Student: I'm here 'cause... well, there's something I don't understand. I set an announcement for an event. And this morning I checked the events section of the university's website. And nothing, there is no mention of it. 
Director: And when did you summit this request? 
Student: Last Wednesday. I followed the instructions very carefully. I am sure it was Wednesday, because know announcements have be submitted three business days ahead of the posting day. 
Director: And what's it for? 
Student: A reading. 
Director: A reading? 
Student: Yes. A poetry reading. 
Director: Oh, OK. When is it? 
Student: In three days. It is an author from France we have been trying to get for a while. And now that he has finally agreed to come, no one will be there.
Director: Wow. This person is really coming all the way from France? 
Student: Oh, no. He is teaching promising there will be in New York City this year. We were able to sell him on a nice size crowd , felt confident about that. Because the idea by I know how enthusiastic our group is. 
Director: And your group ? do you have a name? 
Student: Um ? it is kind of a loose group, you know, just a bunch of students in the French department who are interested in French literature. There's no formal structure or anything. I guess you could call us the French Literature Reading Group. 
Director: OK. And it is a recognized group? By the university, I mean. 
Student: No 
Director: OK. 
Student: But the French Department is funding this, on the condition that we do all the legwork. 
Director: All right. Hold on a second while I check. Well, it looks like we did receive your announcement last Wednesday. Uh, looks like the editors must have decided not to include your event in this week's listings. 
Student: Not included? Why? 
Director: Well, we don't post things automatically. We get so many requests that we couldn't possibly post them all. So events that are thought to be too specialized, without the potential for really wide appeal... 
Student: Wow, I got to say that does surprise me. What am I going to do now? I mean, he really is quite famous. I really do think there would be a genuine interest beyond my group. It would be a shame if no one shows up because there isn't enough publicity. Is there anyone else I can talk to? 
Director: I don't think that would do you much good since we are already working on next week's schedule. But maybe you could ask the French department to post the announcement on its website. And maybe you could approach some other departments as well, you know, relevant ones. 
Student: I knew we should have done a poster. But everybody was like, oh, you can just post it online. In any event, thanks for your help. It's something to consider. 
Student: Um ? it is kind of a loose group, you know, just a bunch of students in the French department who are interested in French literature. There's no formal structure or anything. I guess you could call us the French Literature Reading Group. 
Director: OK. And it is a recognized group? By the university, I mean. 
Student: No 
Director: OK. 
Student: But the French Department is funding this, on the condition that we do all the legwork.
