But we also have a lot of seminars and I find with so many people expressing their views, it can get quite frustrating. It would be better if we didn't have so many of those. Yes, it's the same for me.
但我們還有很多研討會,我發現,太多人都要表達自己的意見了,可真讓人有些沮喪。要是少些研討會就好了。對,我也有同感。
Now listen and answer the question 27 to 30.
現在聽錄音,并回答第二十七題至第三十題。
Um... How are the students at your place? Well, I haven't really met anyone yet. They all seem a bit quiet.
嗯,那你那邊的學生們怎么樣?其實我還沒認識什么人呢。他們看起來都很安靜。
Perhaps they're working hard. They don't appear to be very studious here, but they are very friendly. I must say I've been doing a lot of sitting around and chatting over the last week or so.
也許他們只是很勤奮。在這兒的學生看上去都不是特別用功,但他們都很友善。我得承認,我上周基本上就是無所事事,到處閑聊。
Well, that's good. The only person I've spoken to really is my tutor. He's very approachable and seems to understand how difficult it can be starting university.
噢,這也挺好的。實際上,我真正聊過天的只有我的導師,他非常平易近人,而且看上去能夠理解剛上大學有多困難。
It's good to have someone you can talk to. And he may help you meet other students.
能有人聊聊天是件好事。他也許還能把你介紹給別的學生。
Actually that doesn't bother me. I'm bound to get to know some people sooner or later. It's more a question of finding out what I need to do, where to go and so on. I hope he can help me with that.
其實我不太在乎這件事。我注定會認識某些人的,只是遲早問題。要找出我需要做什么,要去往哪里等等,才是真正的問題。我希望他能在這方面幫我一把。
Oh, I would have thought so. Well, we certainly have a lot of work ahead of us. It seems like a long time, doesn't it - studying for three years.
我也希望如此。我們都還有很多事情要做呢。看上去可真漫長啊,對吧,要學三年呢。
Yes, it does, but I'm sure it'll go quickly. You know, I'm really dreading the first assessment.
沒錯,但我肯定,時間很快就會過去的。我很擔心第一次學業評定。
Yes, for the course I'm doing we have to hand our first one in at the end of next month. Really, so have you got the topic yet?
對,我正在上的這門課要求我們在下個月底交第一篇作業。喬治,真的嗎?你知道題目了嗎?
No, but we'll get it soon. I'm not sure how much we have to write yet . Not too much, I hope! I know what you mean. And it's hard to study, especially where I am now.
還沒有,但我們很快就會知道的。我還不確定要寫多少字呢,但愿不會太多吧!我明白。再說了,要學習還是很困難的,尤其是考慮到我現在住的地方。
Oh, where are you living? I'm living in a hall of residence. I thought that would be a good idea as there'd be a lot of people around but I'm finding it a bit noisy.
噢,你現在住在哪里?我住在學校公寓里。我本以為這會是個好主意,有很多人在這附近,但我發現這里很吵鬧。
I can see that I'm going to have problems when I really need to get down to some work.
我能預見到,當我真的要好好干些正事時,這肯定會是個問題。
So I guess you need to be somewhere on your own then? Yes. Well, I do like to have some people around me, so I'd prefer to live with a family somewhere in a house not too far from the university.
那么,我猜,你需要單獨住在某個地方?對。我確實喜歡和別人一起住,所以我更希望能和一個家庭一起住,房子最好離學校不遠。
Well, good luck with that. Yes, thanks. And good luck to you as well. I have to dash now. I've another lecture in ten minutes. Bye for now. Bye.
那祝你好運了。謝謝,也祝你好運。我得趕緊走了,我十分鐘后還有一節講課。再見。再見。
That is the end of section 3, you now have half a minute to check your answers.
第三部分結束,你現在有半分鐘時間檢查答案。
