托福TPO/Official 8 Con 1听力原文Why does the man mention his classmates?-新东方托福官方网校手机版

旁白：请听一段学生和教务主任的对话。

Narrator: Listen to a conversation between a student and a registrar.

学生：嗨，我来递交我的毕业表格。

Student: Hi, I‘d like to drop off my graduation form.

我知道你们需要这个来评估我的文凭。

I understand you need this in order to process my diploma.

你走之前让我来在电脑上核对一下。

Before you leave, let me check our computer.

看上去你毕业是没有问题的。但是我这有一张关于你的学术记录的警告单。

Ur, looks like you are ok for graduation, and actually, I am getting a warning flag on your academic record here.

主任：是啊。让我看看是什么。

Registrar: Yeah. Let's see what‘s what.

你对你的毕业要求标准熟悉吗？

OK. Are you familiar with our graduation requirements?

主任：那么你就知道你需要专业内的48个学分以及中等及更高水平课程的至少24个学分。

Registrar: Well, then you know you need 48 credits in your major field to graduate and at least 24 credits at the intermediate level or higher.

而且，大二以后，你还需要见你的系主任来为剩下的时间做计划大纲。

Also, after your second year, you have to meet with your department chair to outline a plan for the rest of your time here.

以前，我们还在学生大四的时候发信告知他们需要上什么样的课程，但是现在我们不这么做了。

In the past, we also issue letters before students’ final year began to let them know what they needed to take in the final year to be ok, but we don't do that anymore.

学生：我两年前绝对是见了我们的系主任了。

Student: I definitely met with my chairperson 2 years ago.

他告诉我说我在接下来的两年里需要上8个中等或以上水平的课程。

He told me that I needed 8 more courses at the intermediate level or higher in the last 2 years to be ok.

主任：不幸的是，这儿电脑的信息基本都是很可靠的。

Registrar: Unfortunately, the computer is usually pretty reliable.

学生：可能是我上了2个基础课程，但是这两个都带有相应的实习工作。

Student: It could be that I have taken 2 basic courses but coupled both of them with, uh, field experiences.

学生：我只能上介绍课程，因为没有关于那些特别话题的中级水平的课程。

Student: Well, I could only take intro courses because there were no intermediate level courses available for those particular topics.

我的系主任告诉我说，如果我针对每个课程的科学工作做出独立的实地调查，那么就算是我上了中级水平的课程。

My chair person told me that if I did independent field research in addition to the assigned work in each course, they would count as intermediate level courses.

我的同学，我的几个同学，就是通过这种方式来达到中级课程的要求的，但是我就是在这些话题的基础上更深入的挖掘了。

My classmates, um, some of my classmates, did this for an easy way to meet their intermediate course requirement, but I did it to get the kind of depth in those topics I was going for.

而结果我发现我很喜欢实地工作。

As it turned out I really enjoyed the field work.

这为单单是坐在课堂里听课做了很大的弥补。

It was a nice supplement to just sitting and listening to lectures.

主任：那倒是。尽管有实地工作，但是电脑上也没有显示基础水平的课程。

Registrar: I am sure that's true, but the computer is still showing them as basic level courses despite the field work.

学生：我真的不知道怎么办了。

难道我需要取消我的毕业晚会吗？

I mean, should I cancel my graduation party?

Registrar: No, no reason to get worried like that.

你马上和你的系主任联系就好。

Just contact your chair person immediately, ok?

然后告诉他尽快给我打电话来核实你的实地工作安排并把你的学分立即核查好。

Tell him to call me as soon as possible so that we can verify your field work arrangement and certify those credits right away.

It‘s not like there is an actual deadline to date or anything.

如果说几周后还没有核实好的话，我们就真有问题了，那将很难及时调整并让你顺利毕业。

But if more than a few weeks go by, we might have a real problem that would very difficult to fix in time for you to graduate.

事实上，那样的话我们可能就无能为力了。

In fact, there probably would be nothing we could do.

Why does the man go to see the registrar?

According to the registrar, what step is currently taken to ensure that students fulfill their graduation requirements?

Why does the registrar tell the man to contact his chairperson immediately?

Listening again to part of the conversation. Then answer the question. Why does the registrar imply when she says this:

Narrator 
Listen to a conversation between a student and a registrar. 
Stu: Hi, I’d like to drop off my graduation form; I understand you need this in order to process my diploma.
