Requirements of the senior thesis托福聽力原文翻譯及問題答案

一、Requirements of the senior thesis托福聽力原文：

Narrator:Listen to a conversation between a student and his academic advisor.

MALE STUDENT:Hi,sorry I'm late,Professor Blaine.FEMALE ADVISOR:No problem,Jim.So you've got some questions about your senior thesis requirement?MALE STUDENT:Yeah,I've got a couple of problems actually.So,the first thing is,you normally write it during the first half of the academic year,right?In your final year of studies?FEMALE ADVISOR:Right.MALE STUDENT:But I have my student teaching scheduled for that time—I wanna teach high school English after graduation.So I really need to give that my full attention,and I just worry that I won't be able to if I'm writing my senior thesis at the same time.I mean,it's supposed to be 35 to 50 pages.That's a serious commitment.FEMALE ADVISOR:You're right, but it really isn't a problem.

MALE STUDENT:Really?

FEMALE ADVISOR:No,a lot of English majors get teacher certification.So we have students like you do their senior thesis after their student teaching.It works out well,because many students want to use a unit they taught as the basis of their paper. So you'll just enroll in a thesis seminar for the second semester.

MALE STUDENT:Well,that's a big relief. But it brings us to my second problem.I've really focused my studies on Old and Middle English literature.I'm even thinking about doing a graduate degree with a concentration in that after I've taught for a while.So I was hoping to do my senior thesis on Chaucer,on The Canterbury Tales,because that would obviously be useful if I do go on.But...

FEMALE ADVISOR:Ahh,but Professor Johnson...MALE STUDENT:Exactly,Professor Johnson is going to be taking a sabbatical to do research in France during the second half of the year.So,without him around,I'm,uh,not sure how I could do a senior thesis on The Canterbury Tales.I mean,the focus of his teaching and research is unique around here.

FEMALE ADVISOR:Yes,I understand It would be difficult to do your paper without Professor Johnson around.Hmm.Would you allow me to try to sell you on an alternate plan?MALE STUDENT:Well,you can try...but Chaucer's sort of my hero,if you know what I mean.FEMALE ADVISOR:Well,I'm teaching a course on the literature of the Renaissance in the first half of the year.  It'll meet late in the day,so it won't interfere with your teaching.And I haven't offered it in quite a while now,so I doubt you've ever studied that period on the college level.

MALE STUDENT:No,I haven't.FEMALE ADVISOR:If you'd be interested in taking the course,I'd be happy to give you supplemental readings.And I'd also be happy to be your advisor for your paper later on.MALE STUDENT:Well I've never looked at that area before,but I've always had an interest in it,so that does have a certain appeal.FEMALE ADVISOR:Well,if you do decide to go this route,I would make that decision soon,and I would use this summer productively.After all,this is not going to be like taking an intro course.

二、Requirements of the senior thesis托福聽力中文翻譯：

旁白：聽一個學(xué)生和他的學(xué)術(shù)顧問之間的對話。

男生：嗨，對不起，我遲到了，布萊恩教授。女顧問：沒問題，吉姆。那么你對你的畢業(yè)論文要求有一些問題嗎？男學(xué)生：是的，實際上我有幾個問題。所以，第一件事是，你通常在學(xué)年的上半年寫，對嗎？在你學(xué)習(xí)的最后一年？女顧問：對。男學(xué)生：但我的學(xué)生教學(xué)安排在那個時候——我想在畢業(yè)后教高中英語。所以我真的需要全神貫注，我只是擔心如果我同時寫我的畢業(yè)論文，我將無法做到這一點。我的意思是，應(yīng)該有35到50頁。這是一個嚴肅的承諾。女顧問：你說得對；但這真的不是問題。

男學(xué)生：真的嗎？

女顧問：沒有，很多英語專業(yè)的學(xué)生都獲得了教師資格證書。所以，我們有像你這樣的學(xué)生，在他們的學(xué)生教學(xué)后做他們的畢業(yè)論文。結(jié)果很好，因為許多學(xué)生希望使用他們所教的單元作為論文的基礎(chǔ)&nbsp；所以你只需要參加第二學(xué)期的論文研討會。

男學(xué)生：嗯，這讓我松了一口氣&nbsp；但這給我們帶來了第二個問題。我真的把我的研究重點放在了古英語和中英語文學(xué)上。我甚至想在教了一段時間之后，再攻讀研究生學(xué)位，并專注于此。所以我希望能寫一篇關(guān)于喬叟的畢業(yè)論文，關(guān)于坎特伯雷故事集，因為如果我繼續(xù)寫下去，那顯然會很有用。但是

女顧問：啊，但是約翰遜教授。。。男學(xué)生：沒錯，約翰遜教授下半年將休假到法國做研究。所以，沒有他在身邊，我，呃，不知道我怎么能寫一篇關(guān)于坎特伯雷故事集的高級論文。我的意思是，他的教學(xué)和研究重點在這里是獨一無二的。

女顧問：是的，我知道沒有約翰遜教授在身邊，你的論文很難完成。嗯，你能允許我試著向你推銷另一個計劃嗎？男學(xué)生：嗯，你可以試試。。。但喬叟是我心目中的英雄，如果你明白我的意思的話。女顧問：嗯，我在今年上半年教一門文藝復(fù)興時期文學(xué)的課程&nbsp&nbsp；它會在一天的晚些時候開會，所以不會干擾你的教學(xué)。我已經(jīng)有很長一段時間沒有提供這門課程了，所以我懷疑你是否在大學(xué)階段學(xué)習(xí)過這門課程。

男學(xué)生：沒有，我沒有。女導(dǎo)師：如果你對這門課感興趣，我很樂意給你補充閱讀資料。我也很高興成為你論文的顧問。男學(xué)生：我以前從未看過這個領(lǐng)域，但我一直對它感興趣，所以這確實有一定的吸引力。女顧問：好吧，如果你真的決定走這條路，我會很快做出決定，我會有效地利用這個夏天。畢竟，這不像是一門入門課程。
