Advice on Polish Class托福听力原文翻译及问题答案

一、Advice on Polish Class 托福听力原文：

NARRATOR: Listen to a conversation between a student and a professor.

MALE STUDENT: Hi, professor, I was hoping to ask you a few questions about the class you're teaching next semester, the course on Polish Drama? I was thinking of taking it.

FEMALE PROFESSOR: Well, that's an upper-division course … You don’t look familiar to me. Are you a student in this department?

MALE STUDENT: No, actually, I'm not.

FEMALE PROFESSOR: OK. Have you had other classes in the Slavic Languages Department—here or somewhere else?

MALE STUDENT: No, that's the thing…I was just wondering how good my Polish would have to be, whether the class is taught in Polish or not.

FEMALE PROFESSOR: Well, you'd have to have some knowledge of it. By that level a lot of the students are quite fluent, plus there're some native speakers in the department.  And we don't plan for it to happen, but it's pretty common for the discussions to kind of move in and out of English and Polish, and it can be difficult to follow, so … uh, how well do you speak Polish?

MALE STUDENT: Not so great. It's just that my father's from there, so I'm interested in learning about, you know, Polish history, Polish culture. Plus, I'm studying drama—I'll probably major in it—I love plays. So I thought your course might be perfect.

FEMALE PROFESSOR: Hmm, to be honest with you … you have to realize that we'll be watching videos of performances and maybe—if we can swing it—even watch a live performance, and those won't necessarily be in translation … Also, texts—texts are sometimes available in translation, but even then some references will be to the original. I’d hope you’d be fairly confident in reading.

MALE STUDENT: To be honest, it sounds totally over my head.

FEMALE PROFESSOR: You know what? I believe they'll be offering a survey course… on Polish literature … Let me check here …Yes, I thought it was being offered this time. Professor Jaworski's teaching it… Let's see… It covers the major works—you know, epic romantic poetry, the novels… And it does cover one or two plays.

MALE STUDENT: And this is in English?

FEMALE PROFESSOR: Yes, you'll be reading mostly English translations, and the discussions will be in English.

MALE STUDENT: Hmmm. Novels and poetry…

FEMALE PROFESSOR: They'll provide you with a great historical context for the plays, so when you do get to them, you’re going to really have a feel for the times they “lived” in, so to speak. Plus, this course might also give you the impetus to learn more Polish, you know, get it to the level where you'd be ready for the other class.

MALE STUDENT: Hmmm …

二、Advice on Polish Class 托福听力中文翻译：

旁白：听一段学生和教授之间的对话。

男学生：嗨，教授，我想问你几个关于你下学期要教的课的问题，波兰戏剧课？我正在考虑拿它。

女教授：嗯，那是一门高级课程……我对你看起来不熟悉。你是这个系的学生吗？

男学生：不，事实上，我不是。

女教授：好的。你在这里或其他地方的斯拉夫语系上过其他课程吗？

男学生：不，就是这样……我只是想知道我的波兰语应该有多好，不管这门课是否用波兰语授课。

女教授：嗯，你必须对它有一些了解。到那个水平，很多学生都很流利，加上系里有一些母语为英语的人。我们不打算这样做，但讨论在英语和波兰语之间来回移动是很常见的，很难理解，所以……呃，你的波兰语说得怎么样？

男学生：不太好。只是因为我父亲来自那里，所以我对学习波兰历史、波兰文化很感兴趣。另外，我正在学习戏剧——我可能主修戏剧——我喜欢戏剧。所以我认为你的课程可能很完美。

女教授：嗯，老实说……你必须意识到，我们将观看表演的视频，如果我们甚至可以观看现场表演，这些视频也不一定是翻译的……此外，文本文本有时可以在翻译中找到，但即使这样，一些参考也会指向原文。我希望你对阅读有相当的信心。

男学生：老实说，这听起来完全让我不知所措。

女教授：你知道吗？我相信他们会提供一个调查课程……关于波兰文学……让我在这里查一下……是的，我以为这次会提供。贾沃斯基教授在教它……让我看看……它涵盖了你知道的主要作品，史诗、浪漫主义诗歌、小说……而且它确实涵盖了一到两部戏剧。

男学生：这是用英语写的吗？

女教授：是的，你将主要阅读英文译本，讨论将以英文进行。

男学生：嗯。小说和诗歌…

女教授：它们会为你提供一个很好的戏剧历史背景，所以当你接触到它们时，你会真正感受到它们“生活”的时代，可以这么说。此外，这门课程还可能激励你学习更多的波兰语，你知道，让它达到你准备好上其他课程的水平。

男学生：嗯…
