NARRATOR:Listen to a conversation between a student and her environmental science professor.

旁白:听一段学生与环境科学教授的对话。

FEMALE STUDENT:You know, the DVD we watched yesterday on ways we can protect the environment was really eye-opening…

女学生:你知道的,我们昨天看的关于我们可以如何保护环境的DVD,真的让人大开眼界呀!

MALE PROFESSOR:Well, I’m glad to hear that. Sometimes a DVD like this can bring to life concepts that my lectures can’t.

男教授:哦!我很高兴听到这个。有时,像这样的 DVD 可以使我的讲座无法实现的概念变得栩栩如生。

Of course lectures are important, but other forms of presentation—like DVDs—help get across the concepts I want you to understand, too.

当然,讲座很重要,但 DVD 等其它形式的展示也有助于理解我希望你们明白的概念。

FEMALE STUDENT:I agree. And the DVD got me thinking about the project you assigned.

女学生:我同意。DVD 让我想起了你布置的项目。

Now, I know we’re not supposed to work with anyone else for this assignment, but two of us think we have a really good idea.

现在我知道我们不应该与其他任何人一起完成这项作业,但我们俩都认为我们有一个非常好的主意。

MALE PROFESSOR:OK, I’m listening.

男教授:好的,我在听。

FEMALE STUDENT:Well, the student from class who I wanna work with—it’s Jessica Smith—you see, she has a part-time job at the hotel on campus… uh… where parents and people who are here for conferences stay?

女学生:好,我想一起合作的同学是Jessica Smith。你知道的,她在校园里的酒店有一份兼职工作,家长和来这里参加会议的人都住在那里。

MALE PROFESSOR:Ah, yes. The environmental science department just hosted a conference not too long ago, and we had several attendees who stayed there.

男教授:哦,是的。前不久环境科学系刚刚举办了一次会议,我们有几个与会者住在那里。

They really enjoyed staying at that hotel.

他们真的很喜欢住在那家酒店。

FEMALE STUDENT:I’m sure. Jessica says it’s really nice, but it’s not so environmentally friendly.

女学生:没错。Jessica 说那个酒店特别好,但不太环保。

MALE PROFESSOR:Hmm… I see. Well, hotels may be reluctant to make changes to protect the environment if it could be perceived as negatively affecting the comfort of hotel guests.

男教授:我明白了。好吧,如果人们认为会对酒店客人的舒适度产生负面影响的话,那么酒店可能不太愿意做出改变来保护环境。

FEMALE STUDENT:Well, that has to do with our idea for the project.

女学生:嗯,这就和我们的这个项目的想法有关了。

Uh… Jessica and I wanna do an assessment of the hotel and see what they can do to save energy, and create less pollution—without interfering with the positive experience of patrons.

Jessica和我想对酒店进行评估,看看他们可以做些什么来节省能源和减少污染,同时不影响顾客的积极体验。

And I figured since she works there, it’d be easier for us to do the project together.

我想既然她在那里工作,我们一起做这个项目就会更容易。

Plus she already ran the idea by the hotel manager, and he’s on board with it.

此外,她已经由酒店经理提出了这个想法,他也同意了。

He was even telling her how he can use our work to apply for a grant from a local environmental foundation for money to make energy-saving upgrades and stuff!

他甚至告诉她,他可以如何利用我们的工作向当地的一个环境基金会申请拨款,以进行节能升级之类的东西!

So we’d make recommendations, then he’d use our findings to make real changes.

所以我们建议他利用我们的发现做出一些真正的改变。

MALE PROFESSOR:That’s certainly a compelling idea—and it definitely fits within the general guidelines of the project.

男教授:这当然是一个令人信服的想法,而且它确实符合项目的总体方针。

OK. Just give me an outline of what you plan to do, and, well, I’m a little worried.…

好吧,给我一个你们计划做的内容的大纲,呃,我还是有点担心。

I’ll still need you to submit the paper in the format we discussed in class, not whatever format the hotel manager might want.

我仍然需要你按照我们在课堂上讨论的格式提交论文,而不是酒店经理可能想要的任何格式。
