一、Printers In The Student Center Broken Down 托福听力原文：

NARRATOR: Listen to a conversation between a student and a computer lab administrator.

FEMALE STUDENT: Excuse me. Do you know that all the printers over in the student center have stopped working?

MALE LAB ADMINISTRATOR: There are eight printers connected to the computers there. You're saying they’re all broken?

FEMALE STUDENT: Yes, I just came from there. There's a lot of frustrated students. So many classes have papers due this afternoon that everyone's trying to print out their stuff at the same time. Those printers got overworked and now they all have paper jams or some other problem. Can you fix them?

MALE LAB ADMINISTRATOR: Well, not really. I'm just an administrator. Most of our actual technicians are students who take the job on the side.

FEMALE STUDENT: Where are they?

MALE LAB ADMINISTRATOR: Well, most of the students who work at the computer labs study at the engineering school and, uh, unfortunately, they all took the day off. I think they have some big exams tomorrow.

FEMALE STUDENT: How can there be no technicians working on the biggest deadline day of the semester?

MALE LAB ADMINISTRATOR: Well, there's one technician working at the computer lab in the arts building. Uh, actually he just sent me an e-mail message saying there was a huge crowd there and he couldn't figure out why …

FEMALE STUDENT: Because people need to print their papers. There must be something you can do—people need those printers working.

MALE LAB ADMINISTRATOR: Well, we just ordered new printers and next month we're replacing the old printers over in the student center with a brand-new set of printers.

FEMALE STUDENT: But the deadline for submitting papers is just two hours away.

MALE LAB ADMINISTRATOR: Well, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do. Uh, your best bet is to probably head to the arts building and get in line there.

FEMALE STUDENT: But how did this happen again? Last semester when all the printers broke down, the president of the college got involved. He sent out an e-mail message to all the students saying that he was going to personally do something to make sure that the situation was resolved.

MALE LAB ADMINISTRATOR: That's right. When we had our budget meeting at the beginning of the semester, the president was there. Uh, that's not something he usually does, but he wanted to make sure we ordered the new printers.

FEMALE STUDENT: The new printers that are coming next month …

MALE LAB ADMINISTRATOR: Yeah. I ordered them as soon as the budget was approved. It's a shame, but the purchasing process being what it is... Ah, You know what? It's possible some of the printers are malfunctioning because they ran out of ink. I’m no technician but if that's what's wrong I could fix it… I guess I'll grab some ink cartridges and, uh, go over to the student center and check. No guarantees—sorry—but, ah, it might fix the problem.

二、Printers In The Student Center Broken Down 托福听力中文翻译：

旁白：听一段学生和计算机实验室管理员之间的对话。

女学生：对不起。你知道学生中心的所有打印机都停止工作了吗？

男实验室管理员：有八台打印机连接到那里的计算机上。你是说他们都坏了？

女学生：是的，我刚从那里来。有很多沮丧的学生。今天下午有太多的课要交论文了，以至于每个人都试图在同一时间把自己的东西打印出来。那些打印机工作过度，现在都出现卡纸或其他问题。你能修好它们吗？

男实验室管理员：嗯，不是真的。我只是个管理员。我们的大多数实际技术人员都是兼职的学生。

女学生：他们在哪里？

男实验室管理员：嗯，大多数在计算机实验室工作的学生都在工程学院学习，呃，不幸的是，他们都请了一天假。我想他们明天有一些大考。

女学生：怎么可能没有技术人员在这学期最大的截止日期工作？

男实验室管理员：嗯，艺术大楼的计算机实验室有一名技术人员。呃，实际上他刚刚给我发了一封电子邮件，说那里有一大群人，他不知道为什么…

女生：因为人们需要打印论文。你一定有办法，人们需要那些打印机工作。

男实验室管理员：嗯，我们刚刚订购了新的打印机，下个月我们将用一套全新的打印机替换学生中心的旧打印机。

女学生：但离提交论文的最后期限只有两个小时了。

男实验室管理员：恐怕我无能为力。呃，你最好去艺术楼排队。

女学生：但这又是怎么发生的呢？上学期，当所有的打印机都坏了，学院院长也参与了进来。他给所有的学生发了一封电子邮件，说他将亲自做一些事情来确保情况得到解决。

男实验室管理员：没错。当我们在学期初召开预算会议时，校长也在场。呃，这不是他通常做的事，但他想确保我们订购了新的打印机。

女生：下个月即将推出的新打印机…

男实验室管理员：是的。预算一经批准，我就订购了。很遗憾，但采购过程就是这样。。。啊，你知道吗？有些打印机可能因为墨水用完而出现故障。我不是技术员，但如果这是问题所在，我可以解决它……我想我会拿一些墨盒，呃，去学生中心检查一下。不保证抱歉，但是，啊，这可能会解决问题。
