托福official58听力conversation2 Film Class Misunderstanding原文解析+翻译音频

[00:00.00]NARRATOR: Listen to a conversation between a student and a professor.
[00:04.60]MALE STUDENT: Hi, Professor Johnson?
[00:07.00]FEMALE PROFESSOR: Hi, how can I help you?
[00:08.52]MALE STUDENT: Well, my name’s Matthew, Matthew Burns. I signed up to take Film 200 next year.
[00:13.69]FEMALE PROFESSOR: Film 200 ... Film 200 ... Now where did I put that enrollment sheet? [00:19.12]I wasn’t expecting anyone to turn up quite this early, but they did send me the preliminary enrollment, and ... found it! [00:27.66]And your last name again is …
[00:29.23]MALE STUDENT: Burns, Matthew Burns.
[00:31.09]FEMALE PROFESSOR: Yes, Matthew, O.K., here you are. So, what’s...?
[00:35.35]MALE STUDENT: Well, um, I’m a bit nervous about taking a film class for the first time, and, uh, I thought maybe I could get a head start over the summer. [00:42.49]I already have an idea for a script and I was wondering if you could give me a couple of tips.
[00:47.33]FEMALE PROFESSOR: A script?
[00:48.77]MALE STUDENT: Yeah, a script for a film.
[00:50.53]FEMALE PROFESSOR: But Film 200 is not a filmmaking class.
[00:54.92]MALE STUDENT: It’s not?
[00:55.93]FEMALE PROFESSOR: Uh-uh. We, we watch films, discuss them, analyze them, write about them… we do a lot of writing, but we don’t write a film script. [01:06.95]I guess you were thinking it was a filmmaking class?
[01:10.04]MALE STUDENT: Well, yeah...
[01:11.65]FEMALE PROFESSOR: No, 200 is Film Narrative. It deals with how films tell stories, what narrative techniques are used in film—by analyzing a number of the classics.
[01:24.17]MALE STUDENT: Oh, I see.
[01:25.90]FEMALE PROFESSOR: Yeah. We’ll talk about how narratives in film differ from stories in books. [01:32.64]Did you read the class description?
[01:34.62]MALE STUDENT: I uh... I was so excited to enroll in a film class that I guess I didn’t pay enough attention to what kind of film class it was. [01:42.86]I thought I was registering for a film making class. Sorry.
[01:47.02]FEMALE PROFESSOR: No, no. No problem. I mean, I can see how this kind of misunderstanding could happen. [01:54.22]You know, there are a couple of filmmaking classes, if that’s what interests you. [02:01.03]But I don’t teach them; you’d have to talk with Professor Webb. [02:05.02]Actually, though, there’s no reason why you couldn’t take my class as well as a filmmaking class...
[02:12.69]MALE STUDENT: I wonder if I could swing that; I can’t get out of my English, Biology and French classes, they’re required; and I wanted my fourth class to be filmmaking.
[02:22.38]FEMALE PROFESSOR: Which English class are you registered for?
[02:25.72]MALE STUDENT: Um, English Composition. It’s a required writing class – all students hafta take it.
[02:30.85]FEMALE PROFESSOR: Oh yes, English Comp. You’ll be writing a lot for that class. [02:35.66]You know, this film class might fulfill your English requirement … you’d have to check with the English department. [02:44.17]It’s totally up to you, but ... Let me ask you: Do you watch a lot of movies?
[02:51.01]MALE STUDENT: Tons … mostly modern ones.
[02:53.40]FEMALE PROFESSOR: Well, if you want to be a filmmaker, you need to be acquainted with the classics. [02:58.24]Professor Webb could tell you more about what you should do. I recommend you talk to her. [03:03.82]Then you can think about it over the summer. You can always add or drop a class in the fall.
[03:09.67]MALE STUDENT: Yeah, I think I’ll do that. Thank you, Professor Johnson. You’ve been very helpful.
