  校园英语长对话:雅礼协会

K: (Holding a loudspeaker) Attention, please! Every student, if you are eager to enlarge your horizon and enrich your boring spare time, but you cannot find a proper place to let out your depressed impulse, OK, now it’s high time that you resorted to us-our university’s various students? unions, where, once you are involved in, there will be a lot of opportunities for you to have a large circle of friends very soon!

K:同学们注意啦,如果你们想扩展视野,丰富你们无聊的闲暇时间,但是又苦于找 不到含适的场所发泄你们压抑的冲动,那么是时候向我们学校协会伸出求肋信号 了,一旦你们加入了学校协会,那么很快你就会有绝好的机会扩大你们的交际圈。

E: Excuse me, I am a freshman here, but I am not familiar with the current school life, so most of the time I just have nothing meaningful to do except learning. However, learning all the time sometimes makes me feel depressed and lack a sense of interest. So I am looking for a chance to change this kind of life state...

E:不好意思,我是大一新生,对学校的现状还不是很熟悉,所以大部分时间我都是 在学校,但是老是学习使我很压抑而且缺少兴趣,所以我想改变一下现状……

K: OK, I have understood your trouble, but don’t worry about that, because what you are encountering now is very common among the freshman, and that’s why we are here to help you, to some degree. As you know, our university has established different kinds of students’ associations, most of them are founded according to the students’ interests. When you really join, you will taste the great joy and delight in the activities held regularly in our campus.

K:好的,我明白你的问题了,请不用担心,因为你遇到的正是在新同学中司空见惯 的问题,_定程度上我们可以帮你们解决这个难题。如你所知,学校成立了很多 社团,大部分都是根据学生的兴趣建立的,当你真正地加入其中后,你会发现校园里定期举行的这些活动会给你带来很多乐趣。

E: Since you have told me so many benefits of your associations, can you tell more details about them by giving me one specific example? Because I have not grasped the real advantages of them...

E:既然你给我说了那么多社团的优 点,那能否绾我举个具体的例子 说明一下呢?因为我没有真正的 理解它们的益处……

K: Well, I am so sorry about that, I know what I am saying gives you a kind of feeling of blowing my horn ' . So I can explain the details about one association. For example, the English Speaking Society aims at practicing and improving your spoken English. Every week,we will hold this activity in the form of an English Comer to attract the students to join us, so everybody can communicate and express their ideas and thoughts freely and relaxed...

K:很抱歉,我说的话给你造成了一 种自吹自檑的感觉,那我就给举 一个实际的例子吧。比如,我们的 英语协会每周会举行类似像个英语角的活动,吸引各位同学加入其中,畅所欲言。

E: Uh, now I got what you said. It is just a big difference between the ASSOCIATION that is in my mind and one that is in your mouth. Besides, as for the association in my mind, in fact, I myself don't know about it, either. I just heard it from my friend and did a little search on the Internet. At the moment I am having a walk, and coincidently I came across your activity which, I thought, would give me a hand for my perplexity. However, when you explained to me, it is simply far from relevant to that!

E:哦,现在我明白你的意思了。我所想的协会和你说的这些协会有很大的区别呢。 其实,对于我想知道的协会情况我本身也不了解,只是从朋友那里听到过并且做 过一些捜索工作。那会儿我正在散步,碰巧遇到你们这个话动,我本以为可以从 你们那里得到解答,不过你们说的与我想知道的相差甚远……

K: ... Uh, I feel rather sorry not being able to give you some valuable information, but can you tell me what kind of association you want to know. Only after you tell me,can I know from which aspect I can solve your problem

K:很抱歉没能结你提供一些有价值的信息,但是你能否告诉我你想知道的那个协会 名称呢,只有这样我才能知道我应该从哪方面帮肋你呀。

E: Oh, the Association that I mentioned just now is Yali-China you have a chance to hear about it?

E:哦,是雅礼协会,你听到过这个名称吗?

K: Yali-China Association, let me see. (Kevin falls into the thought) Ah, with Yali-China Association, do you refer to that organization which is founded in China, but with its headquarters in America?

K:雅礼协会,我想想看啊,你指的是那个在中国成立,但是总部在美国的那个组织 吗?

E: Wow, you do know about that. That’s great. So can you do me a favor to tell me more about this association, because I have to finish a survey of it as my mid-term paper, which seems to me ahot potato for such a long time.

E:哇,你知道这个呀,太棒了,那你能告诉我更多的信息吗,因为我要完成这学期 的期中调査问卷,这个问题困扰了我好长一段时间了。

K: Well, you know what, that’s a real coincidence. For one of my foreign friends comes from Yale University, now he is studying in China. We keep contact with each other frequently, and he also tells me a lot about Yali-China Association. The Yale-China Association, founded in 1901,is a private, nonprofit organization with more than a century of experience contributing to the development of education in and about China and to the furtherance of understanding between Chinese and American people. The Yale-China Association was first incorporated as the Yale Foreign Missionary Society, and was known informally as Yale-in-China as early as 1913. It was nondenominadonal from its beginnings and by the 1920s had ceased to be an overtly missionary enterprise. It was re-incorporated in 1934 as a secular organization, the Yale-in-China Association, and in 1975 as the Yale-China Association. At the urging of the home office in New Havn City of New Haven Seal as well as other missionaries in China, the Yale Mission early on assumed more of an educational than evangelical function.

K:嗯,你知道吗,这太巧含了,我正好有一个美国的朋友,他现在正在中国读书, 我们经常保持联系,所以他给我讲了很多关于雅礼协会的事情。雅礼协会建于1901年,是一个私立的非盈利性的组织,有着100多年的历史,它 促进了中国教育的发展,增进了中美两国人民的感情。雅礼协会是第一个注册 的外国传教士协会,并且早在1913年就认作为非正式的耶鲁大学在中国的协会。 从_开始它就与宗教无关,直到20世纪20年代才终止了公开传教组织的身份。 在1934年重新注册为非宗教组织,命名为耶鲁一中国协会,1975年更名为雅礼 协会。协同在中国的其他传教机构和纽黑文总部的崛起,耶鲁早就被认为是承载 着教育而非教会功能的机构。

E: Wow, I don’t know how to express my gratitude to you. You know so much about it that I just cannot write down all of them, because all of the information is quite useful so that I don’t know which part I should omit and which part I should note down. Here, I,ve got an idea. Can we make an appointment some other time if it is convenient for you, so we can have more time to talk? In addition, today, you have told me quite a lot about it and you must be very tired and thirsty...

E:哇,我真不知道怎么表达我的感激之情!你说得真够详细的,我都来不及记录下 来了。因为这所有的信息都很有用,所以我不知道该删减或者该记录哪一部分了。 我有个想法,方便的话,我们何不约个时间呢?这样我们可以有更多的时间来 聊了。而且,你今天绾我讲了这么多肯定也又累又渴了……

K: OK, that sounds nice. And we’d better find another time and place to share so much information about Yali-China Association...

  校园英语长对话:申请耶鲁的准备工作

C: Hi, John! Long time no see. I heard you are studying at Yale, how is everything there?

C:约翰,你好!好久不见了啊!我听说你现在正在耶鲁读书,感觉怎么样啊?

J: Hello, Catherine. Everything is fine. Thank you. By the way, I met Tom yesterday and he said you are planning to apply to Yale. Anything I can help?

J:你好,凯瑟琳。我_切都挺好的,多谢挂念。我昨天碰到汤姆了,他说你正想申 请来耶鲁读大学,有什么我能帮忙的吗?

C: Yeah, I’m interested in economics and would like to further my study at Yale. You know I’m really fascinated by its education system: for one tning is the emphasis on undergraduate teaching, with so many distinguished knowledgeable professors giving lectures to undergraduate students; then is the vitality of student life. Both academic and extracurricular and the research opportunities are available at Yale University. However, I am a bit confused by the complicated applicationprocedures.

C:是啊,我正打算申请去耶鲁留学呢!我对经济学很感兴趣,也非常想去耶鲁上学。 你知道的,我对耶鲁早就有所耳闻。我很欣赏耶鲁的教育体系:首先,她非常强 调本科教学,有那么多学识渊博的知名敘授为本科生授课;其次,那儿的学习以 及课外生活相当丰富多彩,她还为学生提供许多的科研机会。但是我有点搞不清 那复杂的申请程序。

J: You really shock me. You have already known so much about Yale. It doesn’t matter that you do not know the detailed application procedures. I will explain to you one by one. To be accepted to study at Yale, first of all, interested applicants must apply directly to the school, college, or program where the degree will be awarded.

J:我真被你吓到了,你竟然已经了解了这么多有关耶鲁的消息。如果你不清楚具体 的申请程序,不要紧啊,我可以一点一点地解释给你听。要想来耶鲁读书,首先, 对耶鲁感兴趣的申请者必须直接向学位授予单位——研究生学院、本科生学院或 是项目作出申请。

C: OK. I see. Then what should I prepare for the application?

C:好的,我知道了。那我该准备些什么材料呢?

J: The following material is needed for your application. First of all,you should have a secondary school report which consists of a transcript and school counselor recommendation. The transcript is a record of grades achieved over the past three years of schooling. Predicted grades (if applicable) should be included. If you do not have a counselor, the form and recommendation can be filled in by a tutor/house master/ principal/academic advisor or another comparable school official.

J:你需要准备好下面这些材料。首先,要准备_份所毕业高中开具的公证,里面要 包含_份成绩报告单以及一份辅导员介绍信。成绩报告单上应该包含你高中三年 的各科成绩,如果可能的话,还应该包含你的预测成绩。要是没有辅导员,介绍 信也可以由你的家庭教师、舍监、校长、学术顾问或是其他与此相当的学校领导 中的一位来代写。

C: OK. I'm very lucky that my high school performance was good. My GPA was about 95 and I ranked the second among about 2300 students. So I think I’m the right candidate.

C:好的。我觉得自己非常幸运,高中时的总体表现还不错。我的学科平均成绩在95分左右,在2300多名学生中排名第二。我觉得自己会是合适的人选的。

J: You are really good enough on this respect. Next come the teacher recommendations. Two teacherrecommendations are required. Both should be written by recent teachers in academic subjects. You must provide the school with an official English translation of any letters or transcripts not written in English, in addition to the original 6 documents.

J:我觉得你已经相当合格了。申请所需的第二项材料是教师推荐信。一共需要两位 老师的推荐信,而且他们必须是最近给你带过课的老师。此外,除了递交原件以外, 所有的申请材料都要求提供一份正式的英文翻译件。

C: No problem. I will ask my headteacher who knows me quite well and my math teacher to write therecommendations. Is this OK?

C:没问题。我会请非常了解我的班主任老师和数学老师为我写推荐信,这样可以吗?

J: Yes. And the last requirement for Chinese students is your grades for SAT Reasoning Test (SAT I) and any combination of two Subject Tests plus tests of your English ability: TOEFL⑦ or IELTS grades. You needn’t worry about the SAT; it is a piece of cake for us Chinese applicants. However, you should pay more attention to the test of the English language. We students at Yale must be able to understand rapid, idiomatic English and to express ourselves easily in both spoken and written English. As part of the assessment of a candidate’s competence in English, Yale strongly recommends TOEFL for any applicant whose first language is not English and who has not received at least two years of his or her secondary education in an English-medium curriculum. For TOEFL, a minimum score of 100 is required on the Web-based TOEFL. For IELTS a minimum score of 7 is required.

J:可以。我们中国学生申请耶鲁的最后一项要求是SAT I、其他两门自选科目的成 绩以及有关英语语言水平测试的成绩托福或稚思都可以。身为一名中国学生,你 不必担心SAT成绩,它对我们来说是小菜_碟。但是你_定要在语言考试上多花 点心思,因为耶鲁学生必须具备理解快速的、地道的英语的能力,并且不管是在 □语还是书面语中都要能够流利地表达自己的思想。作为衡量申请者英语能力的 手段,耶鲁强烈推荐那些母语不是英语的以及中学阶段学习英语不到两年的申请 者参加托福考试。耶鲁对托福成绩的要求是机考最低100分,对雅思成绩的最低 要求是7分。

C: English is my all-time favorite. I’m now busy preparing for TOEFL and there is only two weeks left for the test. I hope I would have a good result and realize my dream at Yale. Thank you very much for you time and patience.

C:英语一直是我的最爱。我现在正忙着准备托福呢,因为还有不到两周就要考试了。 我希望能取得个好成绩来圆我的耶鲁梦。最后非常感谢你抽出宝贵时间来耐心为 我讲解。

J: My pleasure. Hope we will meet at Yale. Good Luck!

J:不客气。希望能在耶鲁与你相会。祝你好运!

C: Thank you. See you at Yale. Bye.

C:谢谢。那就耶鲁见!再见。

J: Bye-bye!

J:再见。

  校园英语长对话:艰难选课

A: Morning, Jennifer. You look rather pretty on this pink dress.

A:早上好,珍妮弗。你穿这件粉色的连衣裙可真漂亮啊!

J: Thank you. Yesterday was my birthday and mom gave it to me as a gift.

J:谢谢。昨天是我的生日,这是妈妈送给我的生日礼物。

A: Though maybe it is a bit late, but still “Happy Birthday”.

A:那我就送上一句迟到的祝福吧,祝你生日快乐!

J: Thank you anyway. By the way, how do you handle the course selection? Ah! I’m still confused about it and can not decide which to take.

J:还是谢谢你啦。对了,你打算怎么选课啊?哎!我现在还是感觉很困惑,不知道 到底该选哪些课。

A: I have been planning since last term but still not quite decided. On one hand, there are so many courses which are practical for later career. On the other hand, several distinguished professors will give lectures this term. However, our time and energy is limited, so it is really painful to make a final decision.

A:从上学期开始我就在盘算到底该选什么课,这不到现在也还设能定下来嘛。一方 面,很多课程很实用,会对我们以后的工作有所帮助;另_方面,有些资深教授 这学期也会开课,我也不想错过。但是我们的时间和精力毕竟有限啊,所以要最 终做个取舍还真是难啊!

J: Yeah. We can not have our cake and eat it. What you said just now reminds me that I have to take future career into consideration as well. I have never thought of that before. Then why not take two practical classes and another two given by our great professors?

J:是啊。鱼和熊掌不可兼得啊!你倒是提醒了我,我也要把将来的职业规划考虑进 去,以前我都从来没想过这个事呢。旣然这样的话,为什么不选两门实用性课程 再选两门大教授开的课呢?

A: Sounds good. As for me, I think I will take Chinese and applied mathematics as the practical classes and at the same time follow the lectures in anthropology and cognitive science given by our famous professors.

A:这个主意听起来不错。对我来说,我觉得实用性课程我就选汉语和应用数学了。 至于大教授开的课我想上人类学和认知科学。

J: Chinese? I was considering taking this course too. But those who had taken it said it is rather hard for us whose native language is of the Indo-European language family.

J:汉语?我也一直想选这门课呢!但是选修过这门课的同学都说对于我们这些母语 属于印欧语系的人来说,汉语实在太难学了。

A: Anyway I'm charmed by the Chinese language and culture and I think speaking Chinese will bring much convenience when we hunt for a job. So I would like to take the challenge.

A:不管怎样,我深深着迷于中国的语言和文化,而且要是会说汉语的话,对我们以 后找工作也会有好处的。所以我想挑战一下自己。

J: Uh, I think it deserves your hard-work. And I want to have a try too. Then when we can speak some Chinese, we can travel to China together.

J:嗯,我觉得值得一试。我也想学学看。等我们都会说一些汉语的时候,我们还可 以一起去中国旅游呢!

A: Good idea. Such profound history and beautiful scenery in China can be our motivation. What about you? Have you decided?

A:好主意。中国悠久的历史和优美的风景也会成为我们学习汉语的动力的。你打算 选什么课啊?现在决定了吗?

J: Besides Chinese,I would like to take African studies, economics and literature. You know that Africa is undeveloped and there are so many poor people who need urgent help. When I have a basic knowledge of Africa, I can explain to the public and call on them to do something within their power.

J:除了汉语外,我想选修非洲研究、经济学还有文献学。你知道的,非洲是个欠发 达地区,那有那么多亟待帮肋的穷人。了解了非洲的基本情况后,我就能向大家 介绍非洲,号召大家为非洲提供一些力所能及的帮助了。

A: You are so kind-hearted. And I think after class you can surf the internet to find more information and pictures on Africa if you like. Still there are three courses which I have a great passion) for. It’s a pity that I have to give them up.

A:你真好!我觉得如果你愿意的话,课下你可以上网捜索更多有关非洲的消息和图 片。对了,还有三门课我非常感兴趣,但是真可惜我不得不放弃了。

J: Don’t worry! I suggest you borrow the suggested readings and notes from our classmates who choose to follow such classes and read them by yourself. And when you have trouble in understanding, you can ask them for help.

J:别担心。你可以借阅我们班选修这些课程的同学的课后阅读材料和笔记来自学 啊!而且当你有看不懂的地方的时候,还可以向他们请教呢。

A: Good idea. By way of doing so, twice can be accomplished with half the effort. You are such a smart girl. Thank you very much.

A:好主意。这样一来我就可以事半功倍了。你可真聪明!多谢啦。

J: Not at all. I’m sorry I must leave now. I have an appointment at 10 a.m. See you next time.

J:不客气。不好意思我现在得走了,我约了朋友10点见面呢。下次见!

A: See you.

A:拜拜!
