Discussion About A Professor托福聽力原文翻譯及問題答案

一、Discussion About A Professor 托福聽力原文：

NARRATOR: Listen to part of a conversation between a student and his theater professor.

MALE STUDENT: Hi, Professor Davis. Sorry I missed class yesterday. I was just getting over a cold.

FEMALE PROFESSOR: That's alright, Andrew. Feeling better now?

MALE STUDENT: Oh, yeah. Fine. Um, I had a question, though. For the midterm, um, how much do we need to know, like, about the different acting styles? Since the last few chapters have been on writing our own material—scripts and stuff—well, will the exam be about that, or about stuff from the earlier chapters? Like um—

FEMALE PROFESSOR: Oh! Andrew, before I forget—and, uh I will get to your question, but—now don’t leave without taking the tickets for tomorrow's field trip. I have a last-minute meeting, so I can't make it after all. But since you helped organize the trip, I'll let you hand out the tickets… I’ve got everything you need right here.

MALE STUDENT: Sure, no problem.

FEMALE PROFESSOR: And… uh, you don't need directions to the theater—you've been there before, right?

MALE STUDENT: Yup.

FEMALE PROFESSOR: Good. Oh! Oh, also… please remind everyone about the reception afterward—it’ll be an opportunity to ask Alan Altman about his acting in the play—which, uh, we can discuss in class next week.

MALE STUDENT: OK, I’ll tell them. It’s really something!—I mean, I know our acting professors must be in plays all the time, but it isn't every day you get to see one right here in town.

FEMALE PROFESSOR: Oh, you might be surprised. There's a calendar on the main bulletin board listing all the local productions that faculty are involved in.

MALE STUDENT: Well, it seems like Professor Altman’s a really popular actor. I just read his bio in the local paper. I know the critics, uh, always praise him, but I had no idea he was such a commercial success too! And—and—it said he just won an award last year!— for,… uh, playwriting, wasn’t it?

FEMALE PROFESSOR: Well, there is a general playwriting category, but actually, his award was for script adaptation—he adapted a novel into a play.

MALE STUDENT: Script adaptation…?

FEMALE PROFESSOR: Oh, it’s a very specialized skill—writing a play based on some other written work—novels, short stories… Now we've been studying original plays, which are pretty much based on the writer's imagination. But think about adapting a script…

MALE STUDENT: Yeah… seems like it might be easier, like to start with something that's already written.

FEMALE PROFESSOR: Well, actually… Think about it: transferring that material to a whole different genre. From narration to live dialogue.Imagination is a part of it, sure, but it also requires a lot of technical knowledge—about theater production… acting… and so on. So Professor Altman, for example: he took a novel and made it into a play, dealing with all the different conventions that plays have—you know, like limitations of scene changes… and, uh…—well, it'd be a good thing to ask him about at the reception tomorrow.

MALE STUDENT: Yeah, sounds like an interesting topic.

FEMALE PROFESSOR: Oh—and before I forget—the packet with the tickets has a list of the students'addresses. Since the van is picking you up first, you can direct the driver to the other students'dorms.

MALE STUDENT: Sure, that was the plan.

FEMALE PROFESSOR: OK; good. Now, about the midterm…

二、Discussion About A Professor 托福聽力中文翻譯：

旁白：聽一段學生和他的戲劇教授之間的對話。

男學生：嗨，戴維斯教授。對不起，我昨天沒上課。我剛從感冒中恢復過來。

女教授：沒關(guān)系，安德魯?，F(xiàn)在感覺好些了嗎？

男學生：哦，是的。好的嗯，不過我有個問題。對于期中考試，嗯，我們需要了解多少不同的表演風格？由于最后幾章是關(guān)于編寫我們自己的材料腳本和材料的，考試是關(guān)于這個，還是關(guān)于前面幾章的材料？像嗯-

女教授：哦！安德魯，在我忘記之前，呃，我會回答你的問題，但現(xiàn)在不要不帶明天實地考察的票就離開。我有一個最后一分鐘的會議，所以我終究不能參加。但既然你幫助組織了這次旅行，我就讓你把票發(fā)出去……我這里有你需要的一切。

男學生：當然，沒問題。

女教授：而且……呃，你不需要去劇院的方向，你以前去過，對嗎？

男學生：是的。

女教授：好。哦哦，還有……請?zhí)嵝汛蠹抑蟮恼写龝＿@將是一個向艾倫·奧特曼詢問他在劇中的表演的機會，呃，我們可以在下周的課堂上討論。

男學生：好的，我會告訴他們的。真了不起-我的意思是，我知道我們的表演教授一定一直在演戲，但你不是每天都能在鎮(zhèn)上看到表演教授。

女教授：哦，你可能會感到驚訝。主公告板上有一個日歷，列出了所有教員參與的本地制作。

男學生：嗯，看起來奧特曼教授是個很受歡迎的演員。我剛剛在當?shù)貓蠹埳献x了他的簡歷。我知道評論家們，呃，總是稱贊他，但我不知道他在商業(yè)上也是如此成功！而且上面說他去年剛獲獎因為……呃，寫劇本，不是嗎？

女教授：嗯，有一個一般的劇本創(chuàng)作類別，但實際上，他的獎項是劇本改編獎。他把一部小說改編成了一部劇本。

男學生：劇本改編…？

女教授：哦，根據(jù)其他書面作品小說、短篇小說創(chuàng)作劇本是一項非常專業(yè)的技能……現(xiàn)在我們一直在研究原創(chuàng)劇本，這些劇本基本上都是基于作者的想象力。但是考慮一下改編劇本…

男生：是的……看起來可能更容易，比如從已經(jīng)寫好的東西開始。

女教授：嗯，實際上……想想看：把這些材料轉(zhuǎn)移到一個完全不同的流派。從敘述到現(xiàn)場對話。想像力當然是其中的一部分，但它也需要很多關(guān)于戲劇制作……表演……等等的技術(shù)知識。例如，奧爾特曼教授：他把一本小說改編成了一部戲劇，處理了你所知道的所有不同的戲劇慣例，比如場景變化的限制……還有，呃…-嗯，在明天的招待會上向他詢問一下是件好事。

男生：是啊，聽起來是個有趣的話題。

女教授：哦，在我忘記帶票的包裹之前，還有一張學生地址的清單。既然貨車先來接你，你可以把司機引向其他學生的宿舍。

男學生：當然，這就是計劃。

女教授：好的；好的現(xiàn)在，關(guān)于期中考試…
