新生集會是什么？介紹一下牛津大學的學生團體
 
來聽今天的講解:
 
A: Martin, I heard that you had been in Oxford for more than one year, right?
 
馬丁，我聽說你來牛津大學一年多了，是嗎？
 
B: Yeah! What’s the matter?
 
對！怎么啦？
 
A: Actually, I’m going to be a freshman of the University. I wonder what do you usually do other than having classes.
 
事實上，我將要成為牛津大學的一名新生了。我想知道除了上課，你們平時都干什么。
 
B: Well, our university provides rich curricular activities for us. A variety of events are frequently organized by colleges and the University. Moreover, there are as many as 400 clubs and societies for us to join in, not just for music and sports, but literature, politics, performing arts, media, faith, cultural groups and more. Whatever your level of expertise， you can become involved in any club or society that interests you. If a club or society that you are interested in does not exist, you may also find support for setting one up.
 
哦，我們的大學為我們提供了豐富的課外活動。學院和學校經常會組織各種活動。而且，還有多達400個俱樂部和社團可以參加，不僅有音樂和體育方面的，還有文學、政治、演藝、媒體、信仰、各種文化群體等方面的。無論你的水平如何，你都可以加入任何一個你感興趣的俱樂部或社團。如果你感興趣的倶樂部或社團不存在，你還可以通過拉贊肋的方法組建一個。
 
A: With so many groups to choose from, our time at Oxford will never be dull.
 
有這么多的團體可以選擇，我們在牛津大學的時間就不會覺得單調乏味了。
 
B: Right! There are so many groups that it may be a challenge for you to decide which one to join. However, the annual Freshers’ Fair at the start of the first term is an ideal opportunity to know all sorts of groups. You may choose one to two intersted groups to take part in then.
 
是?。∮腥绱硕嗟膱F體，以至于對于你來說決定參加哪個可能都是一種挑戰(zhàn)。但是，第一個學期初的新生集會是一個了解各種團體的理想機會。那時你可以選擇一到兩個感興趣的團體加入。
 
A: Freshers，F(xiàn)air?
 
新生集會？
 
B: Yes! It is the focal point of Fresher’s Week. During the annual Freshers’ Fair, hundreds of student societies will recruit new members. With a Freshers，F(xiàn)air ticket, you will get a new comprehensive guide which helps you to know all things at Oxford.
 
是的！它是新生周的焦點。在每年的新生集會上，數(shù)百個學生社團會招募新成員。持有新生集會票，你就可以拿到一份新版的綜合指南，里面介紹了在牛津大學生活的各個方面。
 
A: Really? That’s great! I'm obsessed with music. Which group do you think I should take part in?
 
是嗎？太好了！我對音樂非常癡迷。你覺得我應該加入哪個團體呢？
 
B: Of course Oxford University Music Society! Established in 1867，it is one of the University’s oldest societies. The society helps many performing groups and college music societies to recruit players and advertise concerts. It also runs its own ensembles, such as Oxford University Orchestra, Oxford University Philharmonia, Oxford University Sinfonietta, Oxford University Wind Orchestra, Oxford Chamber Orchestra, Oxford University String Ensemble, Oxford University Student Chorus, Oxford University Big Band and Oxford University Brass Band.
 
當然是牛津大學音樂協(xié)會啦！它建于1867年，是牛津大學最古老的社團之一。該協(xié)會幫肋很多表演團體和學院的音樂協(xié)會招募會員，并為音樂會做廣告。它還經菅著自己的含奏團，如：牛津大學管弦樂團、牛津大學愛樂管弦樂團、牛津大學小型交響樂團、牛津大學管樂團、牛津大學室內管弦樂團、牛津大學弦樂含奏團、牛津大學學生含唱團、牛津大學爵士樂團和牛津大學銅管樂團。
 
A:The Society really covers a Lot of ground in music! It not only caters for classical and contemporary music fans, but also instrumental lovers.
 
這個協(xié)會真是包羅萬象??！它不僅滿足了古典和現(xiàn)代音樂愛好者的需要，也為樂器愛好者提供了平臺。
 
B: Quite right! Oxford is also famous for drama, with about 30 student productions every term. There are University-wide groups, such as the Oxford University Dramatic Society, the Experimental Theatre Club, the Theatre Technicians，and Designers’ Society, as well as the Oxford Revue. There are also many drama societies at college level.

A: The Theatre Technicians’ and Designers’ Society? what’s that ?
 
技術劇場和設計師協(xié)會？那是什么？
 
B: It is the society for those who work on the technical side of theatre and theatre design, including stage management, lighting, sound, props, and so on. As a society, it provides support and training for students who are interested in technical theatre.
 
這個社團的開設對象是那些做劇場技術及劇場設計方面工作的人，包栝舞臺操控、燈光、音響、道具等。作為一個社團，它為對戲劇設計感興趣的學生提供支持和培訓。
 
A: That’s interesting! By the way, does the University offer opportunities for volunteering?
 
真有趣！順便問一下，學校提供志愿活動的機會嗎？
 
B: Absolutely! Oxford offers many opportunities for volunteering. The Oxford University Student Union will help you with any questions about volunteering in Oxford.

A: Do I need to join in the Oxford University Student Union first?
 
那我需要先加入牛津大學學生會嗎？
 
B: No, you needn’t. All undergraduates are automatically members of the Union.
 
不，不需要。所有的本科生都會自動成為學生會的成員。
 
A: Oh, I see! Do you usually go to the city center for entertainment?
 
噢，我明白了！你經常去市中心消遣嗎？

B:A great many! There are a large number of theatres, chain stores，boutiques， coffee shops，restaurants, bars and clubs in the city centre.
