托福official55听力conversation2 Forgetting to Drop a Course原文解析+翻译音频

[00:00.00]NARRATOR: Listen to a conversation between a student and her academic adviser.
[00:05.81]MALE PROFESSOR: Thanks for stopping by, Shelly. Professor Miller sent me an email, and I thought we’d better have a little chat.
[00:11.52]FEMALE STUDENT: Professor Miller, the art history professor?
[00:14.12]MALE PROFESSOR: Yes. I’m concerned because midterm grades are due in a couple of weeks, and he says you haven’t completed a single assignment for his course. [00:21.68]And he didn’t want to turn in a failing grade without making sure that—
[00:25.28]FEMALE STUDENT: Wait, I’m not taking his course—I dropped it.
[00:28.55]MALE PROFESSOR: You did? Well according to the registrar’s office, you’re still enrolled in it. I pulled up your file. [00:34.43]Your schedule shows that you are officially enrolled in Introduction to Art History with Professor Miller, Islamic art with Professor Campbell… well, here, you look at it, you’re registered for 5 courses.
[00:45.89]FEMALE STUDENT: But I’m enrolled in only 4 courses this semester. [00:48.78]I mean, I did sign up for Introduction to Art History initially, but when Professor Campbell gave me permission to enroll in his Islamic art course, I dropped Professor Miller’s course. [00:59.37]Or at least, I intended to. I had to—they meet at the same time.
[01:03.38]MALE PROFESSOR: I see. So your admission to the Islamic art course was not contingent on your completion of the art history course?
[01:10.13]FEMALE STUDENT: Well, Professor Campbell waived the prerequisite in my case because he felt that I had enough background in art history to handle his course. [01:17.41]But you know, now that I think about it, maybe I just added Professor Campbell’s course and forgot to drop Professor Miller’s course.
[01:25.14]MALE PROFESSOR: I guess it’s possible. Still, I’m surprised we didn’t catch it earlier in the semester. [01:30.26]Didn’t you and I meet at the end of the second week of classes to finalize your course selections?
[01:35.22]FEMALE STUDENT: No…Uh, I mean I remember getting an e-mail about setting up a meeting with my adviser, but I thought it was only for people who had an enrollment problem or something they needed to work out. [01:45.35]I didn’t realize it was a requirement.
[01:47.66]MALE PROFESSOR: Well, it’s strongly recommended that students meet with their advisers early in the semester… and now you can see why! [01:54.78]But there’s no real harm done. [01:56.59]However, don’t forget to file a formal withdrawal from introduction to art history with the registrar’s office by Friday, when the withdrawal period ends. [02:05.25]And you might want to apologize to Professor Miller as well.
[02:08.26]FEMALE STUDENT: Oh, I’ll definitely make a point of dropping by his office to explain what happened. [02:12.76]I was just so focused on getting admitted into the Islamic art course, and so happy when Professor Campbell said I could take it, that I kind of forgot about everything else.
