托福TPO/Official 3 Con1听力原文Why was the woman's physics class canceled?-新东方托福官方网校手机版

旁白：听一段新学期第一天学生和教务室接待员之间的对话。

Narrator: Listen to a conversation between a student and a receptionist at the Registrar's Office on the first day of the semester.

学生：打扰一下,我本应该去理科楼听物理课的，但是教室里没有人。

Student: Excuse me, I'm supposed to be having my physics class in the science building, but no one's in the classroom.

你能告诉我他们在哪里上课吗？

接待员：在咱这办公室外的布告栏上有教室安排告示。

Receptionist: Well, there's a room assignment sheet on the bulletin board outside this office.

学生：是的，我知道，但上面没写物理课（在哪个教室）。

Student: Yeah, I know, but my class isn't listed there.

There must be some kind of mistake or something.

接待员：嗯……好吧，我看一下电脑。

Receptionist: Hmmm…ok, let me check on the computer.

接待员：呃，不好意思，这里显示该课已经取消了。

Receptionist : Er, I'm sorry, but it says here that it was cancelled.

教务室应该通过信件通知你了的。

You should have got note letter from the registrar's office about this.

学生：不会吧？我从来没有收到过。

但电脑显示信已经于一周前发出。

Cause it says on the computer that the letter was sent out to students a week ago.

学生：真的？那我应该收到了才对。

Student: Really? I should have got it by now.

我有可能不小心将它同垃圾邮件一块清除了。

I wonder if I threw it away with all the junk mail by mistake.

接待员：好的，嗯……Woodhouse，我看看……嗯，这里显示的是我们已经寄送到你中心大街的公寓。

Receptionist: Ok, hmmm…Woodhouse, let me see…ah, it says here we sent it to your apartment on er Center Street.

学生：哦，那是我先前住的地方。

接待员：我想你应该没有变更你在（学生）管理办公室的邮寄地址。

Receptionist: Well, and I suppose you haven't changed your mailing address at the administration office.

学生：是的，我想问题可能就出在这里。

But how can they cancel the class after offering it.

如果一开始我就知道会有这回事，我上个学期就报班了。

If I'd known this was going to happen, I would have taken it last semester.

我明白这对你十分不方便，我非常理解，但是……如果没有足够的学生报名这个课程，学校就不会开放这个课程。

Receptionist: I know, it's really inconvenient for you, I understand that, but er…if we don't have enough students signed up for the course, the college can't offer it.

其实，这是一个现实的问题，比如班里只有几个同学的话就没有老师来上课。

You know, it's a practical issue, like we can't have an instructor when there're only a few students in the class.

学生：明白，但是现在我不知道我应该选什么课。

Student: I guess, but now I don't know what course I should take instead.

你有没有下一个学期要学的课程？

Do you have any courses you are going to take next semester?

如果有的话，你还是现在就开始学同时报物理403的课下学期学。

If you do, you might want to take them now and sign up for physics 403 next semester.

学生：是的，我想也只能这样。

你知道得有多少人报名课程才不会被取消吗？

Do you know how many people have to be enrolled in order to keep a class from being cancelled?

接待员：这个得看是什么课，但对于那个课程，至少得……我想想，通常至少得十个人，既然这学期取消了，下学期人更少的情况下也会开班。

Receptionist: Well, it depends on the class, but for that class, you have to have er…let's see, usually it'd be at least ten people, but since it was cancelled this semester, they might even do it with less.

在下学期开始的前几周给物理系打个电话。

Give the physics department a call a couple of weeks before the semester starts.

他们能够告诉你他们是否开课。

They will be able to tell you if they're planning to go through with it.

接待员：不客气。物理课的事很是抱歉。

Receptionist: No problem. Sorry about the class.

哦，你现在更改一下邮寄地址。

Oh, why don't you to go change a mail address now.

Student: Oh, oh, sure, I will do that right way.

What happened to the letter the university sent to the woman?

Why was the woman's physics class canceled?

What does the man suggest the woman do before the beginning of next semester?

What does the man imply when he say this:

Narrator 
Listen to a conversation between a student and a receptionist at the Registrar’s Office on the first day of the semester. 
Student 
Excuse me, I’m supposed to be having my physics class in the science building, but no one’s in the classroom. Could you tell me where the class is? Physics 403 — has it been moved? 
Receptionist 
Well, there’s a room assignment sheet on the bulletin board outside this office. 
Student 
Yeah, I know, but my class isn’t listed there. There must be some kind of mistake or something. Could you look it up, please? 
Receptionist 
Hmmm... ok, let me check on the computer. It’s physics, right? Wait, did you say physics 403? 
Student 
Yeah. 
Receptionist 
Er…I’m sorry, but it says here that it was cancelled. You should have gotten a letter from the registrar’s office about this. 
Student 
What? I’ve never got it. 
Receptionist 
Are you sure? ‘Cause it says on the computer that the letter was sent out to students a week ago. 
Student 
Really? I should have gotten it by now. I wonder if I threw it away with all the junk mail by mistake. 
Receptionist 
Well, it does happen. Er… let me check something. What’s your name? 
Student 
Woodhouse, Laura Woodhouse. 
Receptionist 
Ok, hmmm…Woodhouse, let me see… ah, it says here we sent it to your apartment on er… Center Street. 
Student 
Oh, that’s my old apartment. I moved out of there a little while ago. 
Receptionist 
Well, and I suppose you haven’t changed your mailing address at the administration office. Well, that would explain it. 
Student 
Yeah, I guess that’s it. But how can they cancel the class after offering it. If I’d known this was going to happen, I would have taken it last semester. 
Receptionist 
I know, it’s really inconvenient for you, I understand that, but er… if we don’t have enough students signed up for the course, the college can’t offer it. You know, it’s a practical issue, like we can’t have an instructor when there’re only a few students in the class. You see what I mean? 
Student 
I guess, but now I don’t know what course I should take instead. 
Receptionist 
Ok, let’s see. Do you have any courses you’re going to take next semester? If you do, you might want to take them now and sign up for physics 403 next semester. 
Student 
Yeah, I guess I could do that. I just hope it won't be cancelled again. Do you know how many people have to be enrolled in order to keep a class from being cancelled? 
Receptionist 
Well, it depends on the class, but for that class, you have to have er… let’s see, usually it’d be at least ten people, but since it was cancelled this semester, they might even do it with less. But do you know what you should do? Give the physics department a call a couple of weeks before the semester starts. They’ll be able to tell you if they’re planning to go through with it. It's their decision, actually. 
Student 
Oh, ok, I will do that. Thanks for the info. 
Receptionist 
No problem. Sorry about the class. Oh, why don’t you go change your mailing address now. It’ll only takes a minute. 
Student 
Oh, oh, sure, I will do that right way. 
Student 
Excuse me, I’m supposed to be having my physics class in the science building, but no one’s in the classroom. Could you tell me where the class is? Physics 403 — has it been moved? 
Receptionist 
Well, there’s a room assignment sheet on the bulletin board outside this office.
