STUART: Hello. Can I help you?
KAREN: Yes, I hope so. I would like to register for Comp Lit 287.
STUART: I'm sorry, but that class is already full.
And also, students are supposed to register through the touch-tone registration system.
KAREN: I know. I already tried to register for it by phone, but the computer won't let me.
STUART: That's because it's full.
KAREN: But I'm a new student here.
I thought maybe there was some way I could get into the class.
I thought I should come and talk to you in the department office.
STUART: Well, I could put you on a waiting list.
But that doesn't guarantee you will get into the class. What is your name?
KAREN: My name is Karen Huang. That's spelled H - U - A - N - G.
STUART: Alright. And what is your major?
KAREN: I'm a comparative literature major.
STUART: Wait a minute. You're a Comp Lit major?
KAREN: Yes, that's right.
STUART: Why didn't you tell me? I didn't know you were one of our students.
KAREN: That's why I'm trying to get into Comp Lit 287. I know it's a required class.
And Professor Cohen told me I need to take it.
STUART: The university computer system saves extra places,
in class 287 for comp lit students.
I can give you a special code.
When you register by phone, you can use the code to get into the class.
KAREN: Even if the class is full?
STUART: That's right.
KAREN: Oh, I didn't know that.
STUART: Sure. Here is the code number, with information on how to use it.
KAREN: Thank you. So you think I will be able to get in with this?
STUART: Sure. Just call the touch-tone registration system again.
Then, follow the directions on the sheet. You will get in no problem.
KAREN: Thanks.
STUART: Next time you come in here, I will recognize you.
史楚特：你好。我能幫忙嗎？
凱倫：是的，我希望。我想注冊比較文學 287 這門課。
史楚特：我很抱歉，但那門課已經(jīng)滿了。
而且，學生應(yīng)該使用電話按鍵系統(tǒng)來注冊。
凱倫：我知道。我已經(jīng)試著用電話注冊，但計算機不允許我。
史楚特：那是因為那門課已經(jīng)滿了。
凱倫：但我是一個新學生。
我想或許有某種方法我可以上這堂課。
我認為我應(yīng)該親自來系上的辦公室跟你談。
史楚特：嗯，我可以把你加在候補名單上。
但那并不能保證你可以上這堂課。你的名字是？
凱倫：我的名字是黃凱倫。拼法是 H - U - A - N - G。
史楚特：好的。你的主修是？
凱倫：我的主修是比較文學。
史楚特：等等。你的主修是比較文學。
凱倫：是的，沒錯。
史楚特：為什么你沒有告訴我？我不知道你是我們的學生。
凱倫：這就是為什么我一直想要上比較文學287的原因。我知道這是必修課。
柯恩教授告訴我要上這門課。
史楚特：學校計算機系統(tǒng)有保留額外的名額，
給比較文學 287 的學生。
我可以給你一個特殊密碼。
當你用電話注冊時，你可以使用密碼注冊那堂課。
凱倫：即使那堂課已滿？
史楚特：沒錯。
凱倫：喔，我并不知道。
史楚特：當然。這是密碼，還有使用說明告訴你如何使用。
凱倫：謝謝你。那我就可以用這個來注冊嘍？
史楚特：當然。只要再打撥號注冊系統(tǒng)。
然后，照著使用說明的指示，你就不會遇到問題了。
凱倫：謝謝你。
史楚特：下一次你再來的時候，我會記得你。 |
