译文
Narrator: Listen to a conversation between a student and an employee in the university housing office.
Employee: Hi. Can I help you?
Student: I hope so.
I am taking a class this summer and I need to see about getting campus housing.
Employee: Oh, sorry.
I am afraid the deadline to apply for summer housing in the dormitories has already passed.
I could help you look for something off campus.
Student: Well, see, I only found out yesterday I need to take this course.
It wasn't really my idea.
I mean I was gonna take it in the fall.
It is a course I need for my major in Cognitive Science, Professor Wilson was supposed to teach it but now...
Employee: Oh, right. I heard he is taking a last-minute leave of absence next year.
I hope everything is okay.
Student: Oh yeah. He'll be in Botswana helping develop the new cognitive science program at our sister university there.
Anyway I have to take the course this summer if I want to graduate on time.
I’ve got a note from the dean approving the whole situation.
Employee: Oh, well, in that case I guess we'd better make an exception for you.
Only problem is most of the bedrooms are gone already.
Was there any particular dorm you were interested in?
Student: Well, I’m in Randolph Hall right now, but my roommate's graduating in May so I have signed up for a single in Murphy for the fall, room 206.
I was hoping I might be able to just move in there now.
Employee: Well, let's see what the computer says.
Sorry, that room's scheduled for repainting and maintenance over the summer.
So I can't give it to you.
Student: I don't really care if it's repainted.
I’ll be covering most of the walls with posters anyway.
Couldn't I just take it as is?
Employee: Sorry, no. It is actually a city ordinance.
All rental rooms including dorm rooms have to be painted at least once every five years.
Student: Oh, well, how about if I stay where I’m for the summer?
I’m pretty sure they just painted it a couple years ago.
Employee: Hang on, let me check.
You said Randolph, right?
Student: Room 122.
Employee: Oops. Afraid not.
The entire floor is taken.
Student: Oh, well. Guess I’ll just have to move twice.
Employee: One sec. I've got one more idea.
Here we go. There is a room open in Murphy just down the hall from your new one.
That way come fall, you'd only have to carry your things a few doors down.
Student: Okay, works for me.
Employee: Now, that room is a double.
Right now you have got it to yourself but there's a chance someone else might sign up at the last minute, not likely.
But you could end up with a roommate for the summer.
Would that be okay?
Student: Oh, sure. I can get along with anyone for a couple of months.
Employee: Okay, then, I will get the forms printed up.
They should be ready for you by tomorrow afternoon.
You can stop by and sign them then.
Student: Excellent, thanks.
