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.
但我们还有很多研讨会,我发现,太多人都要表达自己的意见了,可真让人有些沮丧。要是少些研讨会就好了。对,我也有同感。
Now listen and answer the question 27 to 30.
现在听录音,并回答第二十七题至第三十题。
Um... How are the students at your place? Well, I haven't really met anyone yet. They all seem a bit quiet.
嗯,那你那边的学生们怎么样?其实我还没认识什么人呢。他们看起来都很安静。
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.
也许他们只是很勤奋。在这儿的学生看上去都不是特别用功,但他们都很友善。我得承认,我上周基本上就是无所事事,到处闲聊。
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,这也挺好的。实际上,我真正聊过天的只有我的导师,他非常平易近人,而且看上去能够理解刚上大学有多困难。
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。他也许还能把你介绍给别的学生。
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.
其实我不太在乎这件事。我注定会认识某些人的,只是迟早问题。要找出我需要做什么,要去往哪里等等,才是真正的问题。我希望他能在这方面帮我一把。
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。我们都还有很多事情要做呢。看上去可真漫长啊,对吧,要学三年呢。
Yes, it does, but I'm sure it'll go quickly. You know, I'm really dreading the first assessment.
没错,但我肯定,时间很快就会过去的。我很担心第一次学业评定。
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?
对,我正在上的这门课要求我们在下个月底交第一篇作业。乔治,真的吗?你知道题目了吗?
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.
还没有,但我们很快就会知道的。我还不确定要写多少字呢,但愿不会太多吧!我明白。再说了,要学习还是很困难的,尤其是考虑到我现在住的地方。
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,你现在住在哪里?我住在学校公寓里。我本以为这会是个好主意,有很多人在这附近,但我发现这里很吵闹。
I can see that I'm going to have problems when I really need to get down to some work.
我能预见到,当我真的要好好干些正事时,这肯定会是个问题。
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,你需要单独住在某个地方?对。我确实喜欢和别人一起住,所以我更希望能和一个家庭一起住,房子最好离学校不远。
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.
那祝你好运了。谢谢,也祝你好运。我得赶紧走了,我十分钟后还有一节讲课。再见。再见。
