托福TPO/Official 2 Con 2听力原文Why does the man talk to the woman about the "Poetry Kitchen"?-新东方托福官方网校手机版

旁白：请听一段两名学生关于选课场景的对话。

Narrator: Listen to a conversation between two students.

They are both studying to be English teachers.

女生：下个学期的课你登记了没？

Girl: Did you register already for your classes next semester?

男生：嗯……当代文学，英语文体，嗯……教研会议，我同时还要兼顾自己的教学。

Boy: Um… contemporary literature, English style, um…the teaching seminar, and I still have to do my student teaching.

I'm gonna help teach a writing class of the junior high.

男生：是的，我真的会很忙，同时我还在上理论课。

Boy: Yeah, it will be really busy and I'm also taking a theory class.

但是我会几个星期停止工作，因为事儿真是太多了。

But I have to quit my job a couple of weeks cause it will be just too much.

男生：在Buster咖啡店，但是这个月底就不做了。

Boy: Buster's coffee shop, but just till the end of the month.

女生：事实上也是一场教学研讨会。

And I will have to start writing my thesis.

你知道，我要开始准备读硕士了。

You know, I'm also going for my master degree.

男生：那么你没有在写任何诗歌是吧，我猜。

Boy: So you are not writing any poetry, I imagine.

女生：没有，事实上，我正在考虑修改我写的一些诗歌，然后送去某些出版社出版。

Girl: No, I was actually thinking about revising some of my poems and sending them into places for publication.

嗯，你有听过一个新开的诗歌俱乐部吗，叫做诗歌厨房？

Um, did you hear about that new poetry club, The Poetry Kitchen?

男生：嗯，只是7点到9点而已。

男生：每个月的最后一个星期天。

这个月不清楚，因为感恩节临近了，所以他们可能提前。

I don't know about this month, cause it's probably a little too close to Thanksgiving, so they might move it up.

我不知道他们要做什么，但是时间非常合适，而且很有乐趣，诗歌阅读让人记忆深刻。

I don't know what they are gonna to do, but it's a good time, it's fun, some really impressive readings.

女生：都有谁参加？我们班的人吗？

Boy: Some people from our class are reading.

他们中很多人会去，有时甚至教授也去。

A lot of them go, sometimes even the professor.

女生：真的吗？我真不知道老师在那儿我还能读出来吗？

Girl: Really? I don't know if I would want to read in front of her.

男生：你不需要读出来，你看就好了。

Boy: You wouldn't have to read, you can just watch.

第一次去的时候我只是看，但我想不管怎样，那里的环境非常适合阅读。

I just watched the first time, but it is a good environment to read them, I think anyway.

女生：我很可能要写一些新的东西，所以可能夏天的时候可以去，现在我真抽不了空。

Girl: I probably have to write something new, so maybe during the summer, I just can't now.

男生：好的，我们不会在那里读一些老掉牙的东西。

Boy: Yeah, it wouldn't be the same just reading old stuff.

这是第二个我必须上课的暑假了。

This is the second summer I'll have to take classes.

我要走了，我选的莎士比亚课二十分钟后就开始了。

I gotta go now, my Shakespeare class starts in twenty minutes.

What does the man plan to do at the end of the month?

Why does the man talk to the woman about the "Poetry Kitchen"?

What is the woman's attitude toward participating in the poetry club?
