Listen to a part of the conversation between two students.
請聽兩個學生間的對話。
Woman: Hey Steve, did you get that book on the Russian Revolution Professor Harper wants us to read?
女：Steve，你找到了那本Harper教授讓我們讀的叫《俄國革命》的書嗎？
Man: No, none of the bookstores in the campus area had it in stock. They'll get it in about two weeks.
男：沒有。學校附近所有的書店里都沒有現貨了，得大概兩個星期之后才能到貨。
Woman: Hm...so what are you going to do in the meantime? Remember, we're going to be discussing the book starting next Tuesday.
女：那...這期間你打算怎么辦？別忘了，我們下周二就要開始討論這本書了。
Man: Well, I was thinking of placing a rush order with the bookseller on the internet, so I'd have the book in about a day or two.
男：嗯...我有想過要不要在網上給書商下一個急單，這樣就能在一兩天之內拿到書了。
Woman: Yeah, but rush order delivery is expensive. You could easily spend twice as much money for the book that way.
女：可以是可以，但是急單的運費很貴啊。那樣的話你為了這本書很可能要花兩倍的錢。
Man: I know, but what choice do I have?
男：我知道，可是我還有別的選擇嗎？
Woman: Well, since we only have to read a few chapters at a time, you're welcome to share my copy for a few weeks. You know, until you can get yours at the bookstore.
女：嗯...既然我們每次只需要讀幾章，那你這兩周完全可以跟我共用一本書啊，直到你可以在書店買到這本書為止。
Man: You mean...you would read the chapters assigned, give the book to me, I'd read those chapters, then give the book back to you to read the next set of chapters, and so on?
男：你是說，你可以先讀完指定的章節，然后把書給我，我再把那幾章讀完，接著又把書還給你讓你繼續讀之后幾章，就這么傳來傳去？
Woman: Exactly.
女：沒錯。
Man: Thanks! But, what if I don't get the book back to you in time? Wouldn't you get behind in your reading?
男：謝了！不過，萬一我沒及時把書還給你呢？你的閱讀進度不就趕不上了嗎？
Woman: Yeah, maybe. But it should work if we're careful.
女：嗯...可能吧。不過只要我們小心些的話，應該沒問題。
