Conversation2
原文
NARRATOR: Listen to a conversation between a student and her academic adviser.
MALE PROFESSOR: Thanks for stopping by, Shelly. Professor Miller sent me an email,
and I thought we’d better have a little chat.
FEMALE STUDENT: Professor Miller, the art history professor?
MALE PROFESSOR: Yes. I’m concerned because midterm grades are due in a couple
of weeks, and he says you haven’t completed a single assignment for his course. And
he didn’t want to turn in a failing grade without making sure that—
FEMALE STUDENT: Wait, I’m not taking his course—I dropped it.
MALE PROFESSOR: You did? Well according to the registrar’s office, you’re still
enrolled in it. I pulled up your file. Your schedule shows that you are officially
enrolled in Introduction to Art History with Professor Miller, Islamic art with
Professor Campbell… well, here, you look at it, you’re registered for 5 courses.
FEMALE STUDENT: But I’m enrolled in only 4 courses this semester. I mean, I did sign
up for Introduction to Art History initially, but when Professor Campbell gave me
permission to enroll in his Islamic art course, I dropped Professor Miller’s course. Or
at least, I intended to. I had to—they meet at the same time.
MALE PROFESSOR: I see. So your admission to the Islamic art course was not
contingent on your completion of the art history course?
FEMALE STUDENT: Well, Professor Campbell waived the prerequisite in my case
because he felt that I had enough background in art history to handle his course. But
you know, now that I think about it, maybe I just added Professor Campbell’s course
and forgot to drop Professor Miller’s course.
MALE PROFESSOR: I guess it’s possible. Still, I’m surprised we didn’t catch it earlier
in the semester. Didn’t you and I meet at the end of the second week of classes to
finalize your course selections?
FEMALE STUDENT: No…Uh, I mean I remember getting an e-mail about setting up a
meeting with my adviser, but I thought it was only for people who had an enrollment
problem or something they needed to work out. I didn’t realize it was a
requirement.
MALE PROFESSOR: Well, it’s strongly recommended that students meet with their
advisers early in the semester… and now you can see why! But there’s no real
harm done. However, don’t forget to file a formal withdrawal from introduction to
art history with the registrar’s office by Friday, when the withdrawal period ends.
And you might want to apologize to Professor Miller as well.
FEMALE STUDENT: Oh, I’ll definitely make a point of dropping by his office to explain
what happened. I was just so focused on getting admitted into the Islamic art course,
and so happy when Professor Campbell said I could take it, that I kind of forgot about
everything else.

译文
旁白：听一个学生和教授之间的对话。
男教授：谢谢你过来，雪莉。米勒教授给我发了封电子邮件，我想我们最好谈谈。
女学生：米勒教授，艺术史教授？
男教授：对。我很担心，因为期中成绩将在几周内到期，而他说你还没有完成他的课程中的一项作业。他不想在不确定的情况下交不及格的分数-
女学生：等等，我不上他的课-我不修了。
男教授：你有吗？根据登记处的资料，你还在登记。我查到了你的档案。你的课程表显示，你正式注册了米勒教授的艺术史导论，坎贝尔教授的伊斯兰艺术……嗯，在这里，你看看，你注册了5门课程。
女学生：但我这学期只上了4门课。我的意思是，我最初确实报名了艺术史导论，但当坎贝尔教授允许我参加他的伊斯兰艺术课程时，我放弃了米勒教授的课程。至少，我是刻意做过的，因为他们的课在同一时间。
男教授：我懂了。那么你是否能进入伊斯兰艺术课程并不取决于你是否完成了艺术史课程？
女学生：嗯，坎贝尔教授录取我的前提条件，因为他觉得我有足够的艺术史背景来应付他的课程。但你知道，现在我想了想，也许我只是加了坎贝尔教授的课，忘了放弃米勒教授的课。
男教授：我想这是可能的。尽管如此，我还是很惊讶我们在这学期的早些时候没有赶上。我们不是应该在第二周的课程结束时碰面确定你的课程选择吗？
女学生：不……呃，我记得我收到一封电子邮件，说要和我的顾问开个会，但我想这只针对那些有入学问题或他们需要解决的问题的人。我没意识到这是个要求。
男教授：好吧，强烈建议学生在学期初与他们的顾问会面…现在你知道为什么了！但并没有造成真正的伤害。不过，别忘了在星期五，也就是退出期结束之前，向注册处提交一份正式的《艺术史导论》撤回申请。你也可以向米勒教授道歉。
女学生：哦，我一定会去他的办公室解释一下发生了什么事。我当时正全神贯注地上伊斯兰艺术课，当坎贝尔教授说我可以接受时，我非常高兴，以至于我忘记了其他一切。
