Well, we have a website and the best way to enter is to complete the entry form online. We also have more details of the competition on the site. Shall I give you the web address? Yes, please.
我們有個網站，報名的最佳方式就是在線上填好報名表。我們在網站上也有關于比賽的更多細節信息。需要我給你網站地址嗎？好的，謝謝。
And that's the number four not the word four. OK, thanks. I've got that. So I can complete the entry form online, but how do I send the story? Do I print it out and send it to you?
4是數字4，而不是單詞4。好的，謝謝，我記下了。我可以在線上填好報名表，但我怎么投遞我的故事呢？我需要打印出來寄給你嗎？
Well, you may want to print the story out, so you can review it, but don't post it to us. When you've finished your story, you will need to email it to us. The email address is on the website I gave you. OK, that's fine.
你可能想把故事打印出來供你審閱，但不要寄給我們。你寫完故事以后，需要把它通過電子郵件發給我們。電郵地址在我給你的網站上有。好的，沒問題。
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you will have some time to look at the question 7 to 10.
在你聽到其余對話內容之前，你有時間看看第七題至第十題。
Now listen and answer the question 7 to 10.
現在聽取錄音，并回答第七題至第十題。
Um... can you tell me a bit about how the competition is judged and what the prizes are? Yes, of course.
你能透露一下這個比賽是如何評分的嗎？還有獎品都是些什么？當然。
Well, once we have all the entries, I send them to all the judges. Our competition is quite popular, so we are lucky to be able to use famous authors who are very interested in the competition.
一旦我們收集到了所有的參賽作品，我會發給所有的評委。我們這個比賽知名度很高，所以我們很幸運，能夠請到著名作家做評委，他們都對比賽很感興趣。
That's fantastic. It's great to know that someone famous will be reading my story! Yes, that's right. It takes them quite a while to read through the entries but eventually they decide on the top five stories.
太好了。知道會有名人閱讀我的作品，真是太棒了！沒錯。要看完所有的參賽作品，他們得花上好一段時間，但最終他們會決出最佳的五篇。
I see... And what happens then? Well, they will be published online, so everyone can read them. They will not be in any order at this point. They will just be the five stories that the judges think are the best.
我明白了。接下來會怎么樣呢？他們會在網上發表這些作品，大家都可以閱讀。此時五篇作品不分排名先后，它們就是評委一致認為最好的五篇小說。
And do all the top five stories get prizes? No, it's just the top story and the runner-up.
那這五篇作品都會獲獎嗎？不，只有冠軍和亞軍。
So how is the top story decided? Well, once the top five stories are available, it will be the public who will vote for their favorite story.
那怎么決定哪篇故事最好？一旦五篇作品都放在網上，就由公眾投票決定他們最喜愛的作品是什么。
Right, I see. So I need to get all my friends to vote for me then! Er, yes, that's a good idea.
好的，我明白了。那我得讓我所有的朋友都投我一票了！這是個好辦法。
And what is the prize? Well, the runner-up gets a prize of ￡300, but the winner gets a trip to Spain to attend a workshop for writers.
獎品是什么？亞軍將獲得300英鎊獎金，冠軍將獲得去西班牙旅游的機會，在那兒參加一個作家研討會。
Wow, that's brilliant! I'd better get writing straight away. Yes, good luck! Thanks.
哇，太棒了！我最好馬上開始寫作了。對，祝你好運！謝謝。
