今天的這段對(duì)話(huà)，在討論牛津大學(xué)，
 
牛津大學(xué)的生活怎么樣？談一談牛津大學(xué)的校園
 
來(lái)聽(tīng)今天的講解:
 
A: Hi, Carys!
 
好啊，凱瑞斯！
 
B: Oh! Kevin, how are you? What about your school life at Oxford?
 
噢！凱文，你好嗎？牛津大學(xué)的生活怎么樣？
 
A: Marvelous! My room is very nice, and is located in the city centre.
 
棒極了！我的住所條件很好，還位于市中心。
 
B: Really? That’s great! Do you live out of the University?
 
是嗎？那就好！你住在牛津大學(xué)外面嗎？
 
A: No! My accommodation is provided by the college. My college provides accommodation for my entire course, so I don’t neet to rent privately outside.
 
不是的！住所是由學(xué)院提供的。我所在的學(xué)院為我提供了整個(gè)學(xué)習(xí)期間的住所，所以我不必在學(xué)校外面自己租房。
 
B: Good! With a Porters，Lodge at the entrance, college rooms are very safe. The porters will deal with visitors and are responsible to oversee the security of rooms. They should get to know you and look after your personal safety.
 
不錯(cuò)！在入口處有門(mén)房，學(xué)院的住所很安全。守門(mén)人會(huì)應(yīng)付來(lái)訪(fǎng)者，并負(fù)責(zé)房間的安全。他們將會(huì)熟悉你的面孔并保護(hù)你的人身安全。
 
A: Actually, living in college rooms benefits more than this. The overall cost of college accommodation is much cheaper than renting privately. As you know，our terms are only 26 weeks long a year. College accommodation is only need to be paid during term-time, while privately renting rooms would normally have to be paid for 52 weeks.
 
事實(shí)上，住在學(xué)院里的好處遠(yuǎn)不止這個(gè)。學(xué)院住所的總花費(fèi)比私人租房要便宜很多。你知道，我們一年的學(xué)期只有26周。學(xué)院的住所只需要在學(xué)期內(nèi)付費(fèi)，然而私人租用的房間一般要交52周的租金。
 
B: Is it right to say that you have to move out your rooms at the end of each term?
 
那豈不是說(shuō)你們每個(gè)學(xué)期的期末都要搬出你們的房間嗎？
 
A: Usually! However, we can stay if we pay for the vacation.
 
通常是這樣的！不過(guò)，如果付錢(qián)的話(huà)我們是可以繼續(xù)住的。
 
B:Well. If you move out of the college rooms, what about your luggage?
 
哦。如果你們搬出去了，你們的行李怎么辦？
 
A: Hmmm...The college provides us luggage deposit service during holidays. As such, it，s not a problem.
 
呃……學(xué)院提供假期行李寄存服務(wù)。所以，這并不是問(wèn)題。
 
B: Well, where do you usually eat?
 
那你一般在哪里吃飯？
 
A: I often eat in the college dining hall, and sometimes I have meals on the Cowley Road in the city centre. There are all kinds of delicatessens on the Road, as well as a great many restaurants, which cater to all tastes, such as Thai, French, Polish and more. My accommodation is in the city centre, so it is quite convenient.
 
我經(jīng)常是在學(xué)院餐廳吃飯，有時(shí)會(huì)在市中心的考利路用餐?？祭酚辛叻N各樣的熟食店，還有很多飯店，迎合各種口味，像泰式風(fēng)味、法國(guó)風(fēng)味和波蘭風(fēng)味等。我的住所就在市中心，所以非常方便。
 
B: Great! It seems that you have already adapted to your new environment completely. Now, tell me something about your campus!
 
很好！看起來(lái)你已經(jīng)完全適應(yīng)新環(huán)境了?，F(xiàn)在，給我講講你的校園吧！
 
A: My campus? There is too much to say! There are a wealth of libraries and museums in Oxford, and some of them have a world wide reputation. With over 8 million volums，the Bodleian Library is regarded as the second largest library in the UK, following the British Library. Other famous libraries contain Radcliffe Science Library, Sackler Library, Bodleian Social Science Library, Taylor Institution Library, and Bodleian Law Library.
 
我的校園？要講的太多了！牛津大學(xué)有很多的圖書(shū)館和博物館，其中有一些舉世聞名。擁有800多萬(wàn)冊(cè)圖書(shū)的牛津大學(xué)圖書(shū)館被評(píng)為英國(guó)第二大的圖書(shū)館，僅次于英國(guó)圖書(shū)館。其他的知名圖書(shū)館包括拉德克里夫科學(xué)圖書(shū)館、薩克勒?qǐng)D書(shū)館、社會(huì)科學(xué)圖書(shū)館、泰勒機(jī)構(gòu)圖書(shū)館和法律圖書(shū)館。
 
B: Wow! There are so many famous libraries in Oxford! You are a lucky dog!
 
哇！牛津大學(xué)有如此多有名的圖書(shū)館！你真幸運(yùn)！
 
A: I do think so! Oxford’s well known museums include the Ashmolean Museum，  the Pitt Rivers Museum and the Museum of Natural History. They all contain collections of international importance.
 
我也這么認(rèn)為！牛津大學(xué)的知名博物館包括艾什莫林博物館、畢茲瑞佛斯博物館和自然歷史博物館。它們都陳列著很重要的國(guó)際性的收藏品。
 
B: The University of Oxford deserves to be called the leading university in the world!
 
牛津大學(xué)真不愧是世界一流的大學(xué)啊！
 
A: Right! For creation, there are a great many theatres in the University, including the Oxford Playhouse, the New Theatre, the Burton Taylor Studio, the OFS Studio and the Pegasus Theatre.
 
是?。≈劣趭蕵?lè)，牛津大學(xué)有很多劇場(chǎng)，包括牛津劇場(chǎng)、新劇場(chǎng)、伯頓•泰勒工作室、0FS工作室和珀加索斯劇場(chǎng)。
 
B: These theatres are for you! You are a real big movie fan!
 
這些劇場(chǎng)正適含你！你可是一個(gè)不折不扣的電影迷??！
 
A: Haha，Correct! In addition to the University theatres, there are also four cinemas in the city, including Phoenix Picture House on Walton Street, Odeon cinemas on George Street and Magdalen Street, Ultimate Picture Palace just off Cowley Road.
 
哈哈，對(duì)極了！除了牛津大學(xué)的劇場(chǎng)，市里還有4個(gè)電影院，包括華爾頓街的菲尼克斯電影院、喬治街和莫德林街的歐點(diǎn)電影院、考利路外的終極電影院。
 
B: It is said that Oxford has a large amount of green space, right?
 
據(jù)說(shuō)牛津大學(xué)的綠化很不錯(cuò)，是這樣嗎？
 
A: Yeah! There are beautiful riverside walks, the University Parks, the oldest botanic garden in the country, and many college gardens.
 
是的！有漂亮的河畔小路、牛津大學(xué)公園、英國(guó)最古老的植物園、以及很多學(xué)院花園。
 
B: It sounds great! I even want to have a trip there.
 
聽(tīng)起來(lái)很棒！我甚至想去那里旅行了。
 
A: You are welcome any time!
 
隨時(shí)歡迎你來(lái)！
