PUBLIC LIBRARY剑桥雅思12-听力原文翻译及答案解析

一、PUBLIC LIBRARY听力原文：

SUSIE:Hello?

PAUL:Hi,Susie,it's Paul here.

How are you?Enjoying your new job?

You're working at the library,aren't you?

SUSIE:Yes.I started when the library re-opened a month ago.It's great.

PAUL:Actually Carol and I have been meaning to join for a while.

SUSIE:Oh,you should.It doesn't cost anything,and the new library has all sorts of facilities.

It's not just a place where you borrow books.

For instance,there's an area with comfortable seats where you can sit and read the magazines they have there.

Some people spend the whole morning there.

PAUL:Mmm.Wish I had that amount of time to spend!

SUSIE:Yes,you must be pretty busy at present,with the children and everything?

PAUL:We are,yes.But we're hoping to get away this summer.

We're thinking of going to Greece.

SUSIE:Well,we've got a much larger section of the library devoted to travel books now,so you should come and have a look.

I can't remember if there's anything specifically on Greece,but I should think so.

PAUL:OK.Now Carol's organising a project for the history class she teaches at school-it's about life in the town a hundred years ago.

Do you have anything that might be useful?

SUSIE:Yes,actually we've now got a new section with materials on the history of the town and surrounding region.

PAUL:Right.I'll tell her.

You can't always find that sort of thing on the internet.

Now in the old library there used to be a separate room with reference books.

It was a really nice quiet room.

SUSIE:Yes.We've put those books in the main part of the library now,but we do have a room called the community room.

It can be hired out for meetings.

But at other times people can use it to study.

PAUL:I might use that.

It's hard to find anywhere quiet at home sometimes.

SUSIE:I can't remember how old your son and daughter are.

We've introduced a special section of fiction written specially for teenagers,but they might be a bit young for that?

PAUL:Yes,they would be.

SUSIE:Well,we do have lots of activities for younger children.

PAUL:Yes?

SUSIE:For example we have a Science Club.

At the next meeting,they're going to be doing experiments with stuff that everyone has in the kitchen-sugar and flour and so on.

PAUL:They might be interested,yes.

SUSIE:And we have a competition for children called Reading Challenge.

That doesn't begin until after the end of term.

They have to read six books,and they get a certificate if they manage it.

PAUL:So that gives them something to do while they're on holiday,instead of getting bored.

SUSIE:That's the idea.And there's special activities for adults too.

On Friday we have a local author called Tanya Streep who's going to be talking about her new novel.

It's called"Catch the Mouse"and she based the story on a crime that actually took place here years ago.

PAUL:Right.We're not free on Friday,but I'll look out for the book.

SUSIE:Now this probably isn't for you,but we do have IT support available for members.

We get quite a few older people coming along who are wanting to get up to speed with computer technology.

It's on Tuesday mornings-they don't need to make an appointment or anything,they just turn up.

PAUL:Well,my mother might be interested,I'll let her know.

SUSIE:OK.And there's another service which you wouldn't expect from a library,

which is a free medical check-up.

The hospital arranges for someone to come along and measure the level of sugar in your blood,

and they check cholesterol levels at the same time.

PAUL:Really?

SUSIE:Yes,but that's only for the over-60s,so you wouldn't qualify.

PAUL:OK,Well,I'll tell my mother,she might be interested.

SUSIE:What other information...

Well,we do have a little shop with things like wall charts and greetings cards,and also stamps,

so you can post the cards straightaway,which is really useful.

PAUL:Yeah.Well,I'll bring the children round at the weekend and we'll join.

Oh,one more thing-I'll be bringing the car,is there parking available?

SUSIE:Yes.and it's free in the evening and at weekends.

PAUL:Perfect.Well,thanks,Susie,see you soon.

二、PUBLIC LIBRARY听力中文翻译：

苏西：喂？

保罗：嗨，苏西，我是保罗。

你好吗喜欢你的新工作吗？

你在图书馆工作，是吗？

苏西：是的。我是一个月前图书馆重新开放时开始的。太棒了。

保罗：事实上，卡罗尔和我一直想加入。

苏西：哦，你应该。它不需要任何费用，新图书馆有各种各样的设施。

这不仅仅是一个借书的地方。

例如，有一个有舒适座位的区域，你可以坐在那里阅读那里的杂志。

有些人在那里呆了一上午。

保罗：嗯。但愿我有那么多的时间来度过！

苏西：是的，你现在一定很忙，带着孩子什么的？

保罗：是的。但我们希望在今年夏天离开。

我们正在考虑去希腊。

苏西：嗯，我们现在有一个更大的图书馆专供旅游书籍，所以你应该来看看。

我不记得是否有关于希腊的特别报道，但我想是的。

保罗：好的。现在，卡罗尔正在为她在学校教的历史课组织一个项目——这是关于一百年前小镇上的生活。

你有什么有用的东西吗？

苏西：是的，实际上我们现在有了一个新的部分，里面有关于这个城镇及其周边地区历史的资料。

保罗：对。我会告诉她。

你不可能总是在互联网上找到那种东西。

现在在旧图书馆里有一个单独的房间，里面有参考书。

这是一个非常安静的房间。

苏西：是的。我们现在已经把这些书放在了图书馆的主要部分，但我们确实有一个叫社区室的房间。

它可以出租用于会议。

但在其他时候，人们可以用它来学习。

保罗：我可以用这个。

有时在家里很难找到安静的地方。

苏西：我不记得你的儿子和女儿多大了。

我们已经介绍了一个专门为青少年写的小说的特别部分，但他们可能还太年轻了吧？

保罗：是的，他们会的。

苏西：嗯，我们确实有很多针对年幼儿童的活动。

保罗：是吗？

苏西：例如，我们有一个科学俱乐部。

在下一次会议上，他们将用厨房里每个人都有的东西做实验——糖和面粉等等。

保罗：是的，他们可能会感兴趣。

苏西：我们还有一个儿童阅读挑战赛。

直到学期结束才开始。

他们必须读六本书，如果他们管理的话，他们会得到一个证书。

保罗：这样一来，他们就可以在度假时做点什么，而不是感到无聊。

苏西：就是这个主意。也有针对成年人的特殊活动。

周五，我们有一位名叫坦尼娅·斯特里普的当地作家，她将谈论她的新小说。

这部电影名叫《捉住老鼠》，她根据多年前在这里实际发生的一桩犯罪故事改编而成。

保罗：对。我们星期五没有空，但我会找这本书。

苏西：这可能不适合你，但我们确实为会员提供了IT支持。

我们有相当多的老年人想要跟上计算机技术的发展速度。

这是在星期二早上，他们不需要预约或做任何事情，他们只是来了。

保罗：嗯，我妈妈可能会感兴趣，我会让她知道的。

苏西：好的。还有另外一项服务，你不会指望从图书馆得到，

这是一次免费的体检。

医院安排一个人来测量你血液中的血糖水平，

他们同时检查胆固醇水平。

保罗：真的吗？

苏西：是的，但那只适用于60岁以上的人，所以你没有资格。

保罗：好吧，我会告诉我妈妈，她可能会感兴趣。

苏西：还有什么其他信息。。。

我们有一家小商店，有挂图、贺卡，还有邮票，

所以你可以直接张贴卡片，这真的很有用。

保罗：是的。嗯，周末我会带孩子们来，我们一起去。

哦，还有一件事，我会把车带来的，有停车位吗？

苏西：是的。晚上和周末都是免费的。

保罗：太好了。好吧，谢谢你，苏西，再见。
