So,let's look at some new targets.
那么,看看新的目標。
We'll start by having a chat about your Chapter One.
我們從你寫的第一章說起。
I very much enjoyed reading it.
我讀起來很喜歡。
Your written style is very clear and you've included lots of interesting descriptions of education in your target area.
你的寫作風格很清晰,而且你描述了很多教育方面有趣的事。
I've just got a couple of suggestions for some additional work.
我只是對一些額外的工作有幾點建議。
Of course.Could I just ask - what do you think I should call it?
好的。我能問一下,你覺得我應該怎么命名它嗎?
Well,I'd go for something like Context Review.What do you think?
我覺得叫背景回顧怎么樣?
Well,short and to the point.Exactly.Now,as regards specific areas to work on,I'd be quite interested to have a few more statistics about the schools in the different zones.
簡潔又切題。沒錯。現在至于一些特殊的地方,我希望有更多關于學校不同方面的數據。
Oh,that wouldn't be a problem.I can get them from the Internet.
這不是問題,我可以從網上找到。
Great,and although you did make a reference to quite a few different writers,I think you should aim to cite more works written later than 2000.
太好了。盡管你參考了不少作家的文章,但是我認為你應該更多的引用2000年以后寫的文章。
OK.That's more difficult,but I can try.
好的,這有點難,但是我會努力。
When do you want that done by?
你希望什么時候完成呢?
Oh,it's not urgent.Um I should aim for the end of term.
不著急。我的目標是在期末完成。
But in the meantime,I think you should also be thinking about Chapter Two.
但是同時,我認為你還應該考慮一下第二章。
Should I be drafting it already?
我現在就該起草了嗎?
No,but I think you should note down its main sections.
不用,但是我想你應該記下它的主要部分。
Yes.You know,I always find that the hardest part.
是的,我總覺得那是最難的部分。
I always find it helpful to put some ideas on index cards. Yeah.
把一些想法寫在索引卡上總是很有幫助。是的。
Um...and then you can sort them,and even lay them out on the floor.It's a real help.
你可以將它們分類,甚至碼放在地板上。真的很有幫助。
Well,I'll certainly try it!
我肯定會試試的。
When would the deadline be for that?
這個截止日期是什么時候?
My advice would be to get it done before you embark upon the research.
我的建議是在你著手研究之前完成。
You can always change it later if you need to.
如果你需要的話可以在之后隨時修改。
OK.I'll get going on that then.
好的。我會這么做的。
