North College Library剑桥雅思5-听力原文翻译及答案解析

一、North College Library听力原文：

LIBRARIAN:Good morning,North College Library.

How can I help you?

MAN:I was wondering if it was possible to join the library.

LIBRARIAN:Are you a student at North College?

MAN:No,I'm not,but someone told me it was possible to join,even if I wasn't.

LIBRARIAN:That's right,it is.

Are you over 18?

That's our minimum joining age.

MAN:Yes,I am.

LIBRARIAN:That's no problem then.

MAN:Could you tell me what I have to do to join?

LIBRARIAN:Well,you'll need to come in to the library and fill out some forms.

You'll also need to bring two passport photos with you.

We also need two documents for ID,so a driving licence would be fine.

MAN:I've got that and what else?

A credit card?

LIBRARIAN:No,it needs to have your address on it.

MAN:Shall I bring a bank statement,would that do?

LIBRARIAN:That'll be fine.

MAN:Good.Does it cost anything to join?

LIBRARIAN:Well,it's free for students here but otherwise it's£125 per year or£25 if you've got a current student card from another college.

MAN:I was at Westerley College until last year but now I've got a job at Jefferson's steel factory.

Er,it's more expensive than I thought.

My local library is free.

LIBRARIAN:But you'll find they don't have the range of reference books or facilities which we buy for our students.

That's why you have to pay to be an external member.

MAN:I see.How many books can I borrow?

LIBRARIAN:We allow twelve items borrowed at any one time if you're a student,and that includes CDs,DVDs and videos.

However,it's only eight items for members of the public.

MAN:Fine.And how long can I have them for?

LIBRARIAN:Well,you can have both fiction and reference books for four weeks which isn't bad really.

MAN:And what happens if I return them late?

LIBRARIAN:Like all libraries there's a fine system in place.

The minimum fine is£1.50 but it can be much higher for some items-up to£5 per week.

We'll give you a booklet with all the details when you join.

You can always renew items if they're not required by anyone else by telephoning or logging on to our website.

MAN:What about the computers?

Can I use them free of charge?

LIBRARIAN:For college students it's free,but for external members like yourself,the first hour is free and then we make a nominal charge of£1 per hour thereafter.

MAN:Do I have to book in advance for them?

LIBRARIAN:Oh,yes,it's advisable.

Most people tend to book twenty-four hours in advance although sometimes you can get one with only six hours'notice.

However,the earliest you can book a computer is forty-eight hours before you need it,and you can only book one hour at a time.

If no-one else has booked the computer out,then you may be able to have another hour if you want.

We have a wide range of databases,so the computers are in great demand.

MAN:I'm thinking of doing some writing and I might need to access national newspapers.

Do you have them on these databases?

LIBRARIAN:We do indeed.

We've got all the big nationals.

The Guardian and The Observer,The Independent and The Times and Sunday Times.

We've also got all the local papers and a wide selection of magazines.

MAN:Excellent.

I assume you have photocopying facilities?

LIBRARIAN:Of course.

5p a sheet for both A4 and A3 black-and-white copies and 40p a sheet for colour.

You can get a card from the counter here–it doesn't take coins.

MAN:OK.

Oh by the way,another thing I was wondering about was if you ran any writing classes through the library?

LIBRARIAN:We do,but you'll have to speak to John Grantingham about that.

He's our resident author.

He runs the creative writing classes.

MAN:John…Grant...

Could you spell that for me please?

LIBRARIAN:Certainly.

G-R-A-N-T-I-N-G-H-A–M.

MAN:Are the classes here at the library?

LIBRARIAN:Yes-he's here on Thursday evenings,oh no sorry,Friday-he's just changed it.

You can contact him by emailing the library.

MAN:Okay.

Right,well that's about all I need to know.

Thank you.

I'll be along later this week to join.

Thanks.

Bye.

二、North College Library听力中文翻译：

图书馆员：早上好，北方学院图书馆。

我能为您效劳吗？

男：我想知道是否有可能加入图书馆。

图书管理员：你是北方学院的学生吗？

男：不，我不是，但有人告诉我可以加入，即使我不是。

图书管理员：没错，是的。

你超过18岁了吗？

这是我们的最低加入年龄。

男：是的，我是。

图书管理员：那没问题。

男：你能告诉我要怎么做才能加入吗？

图书管理员：嗯，你需要到图书馆来填写一些表格。

你还需要带两张护照照片。

我们还需要两份身份证明文件，所以驾驶执照就可以了。

男人：我有这个，还有什么？

信用卡？

图书管理员：不，上面需要有你的地址。

男：我要带银行对账单吗？

图书管理员：那很好。

男：很好。加入需要花费吗？

图书管理员：嗯，这里的学生是免费的，但除此之外，每年125英镑，如果你有另一所大学的学生卡，每年25英镑。

男：去年我还在韦斯特利学院，但现在我在杰斐逊钢铁厂找到了一份工作。

呃，比我想象的要贵。

我当地的图书馆是免费的。

图书管理员：但你会发现他们没有我们为学生购买的一系列参考书或设施。

这就是为什么你必须付费才能成为外部会员。

男：我明白了。我能借多少本书？

图书管理员：如果你是学生，我们允许你在任何时候借十二件物品，包括CD、DVD和视频。

然而，对于公众来说，这只是八个项目。

男：好的。我可以拿多久？

图书管理员：嗯，你可以在四周内同时拥有小说和参考书，这真的不坏。

男：如果我迟交会怎么样？

图书管理员：和所有图书馆一样，这里也有一套完善的系统。

最低罚款为1.50英镑，但某些物品的罚款可能更高，每周最高可达5英镑。

当你加入时，我们会给你一本小册子，上面有所有的细节。

如果其他人不需要，您可以随时通过电话或登录我们的网站续订项目。

男：那电脑呢？

我可以免费使用吗？

图书管理员：对于大学生来说，这是免费的，但是对于像你这样的外部会员来说，第一个小时是免费的。之后我们会收取每小时1英镑的名义费用。

男：我必须为他们提前预订吗？

图书管理员：哦，是的，这是明智的。

大多数人倾向于提前24小时预订，尽管有时你只需提前6小时就可以预订。

然而，你最早可以在需要电脑前48小时预订电脑，而且一次只能预订一个小时。

如果没有其他人把电脑预订出去，那么如果你愿意的话，你还可以再呆一个小时。

我们有各种各样的数据库，所以计算机的需求量很大。

男：我想写点东西，可能需要看全国性的报纸。

这些数据库里有吗？

图书管理员：的确如此。

我们有所有的大国民。

《卫报》和《观察家》，独立报和《泰晤士报》以及《星期日泰晤士时报》。

我们还有当地所有的报纸和各种各样的杂志。

男：太好了。

我想你有影印设备吧？

图书管理员：当然。

A4和A3黑白复印件各5便士一张，彩色复印件各40便士一张。

你可以从这里的柜台拿到一张卡——不收硬币。

男：好的。

哦，顺便说一句，我想知道的另一件事是你是否在图书馆上过写作课？

图书管理员：是的，但你得跟约翰·格兰丁汉谈谈。

他是我们的常驻作家。

他负责创意写作课。

男：约翰…格兰特。。。

你能帮我拼一下吗？

图书管理员：当然可以。

G-R-A-N-T-I-N-G-H-A-M。

男：在图书馆上课吗？

图书管理员：是的-他星期四晚上在这里，哦，不，对不起，星期五-他刚换了。

你可以通过给图书馆发电子邮件联系他。

男：好的。

好吧，我只想知道这些。

非常感谢。

我将在本周晚些时候加入。

谢谢

再见

10.Friday

五、North College Library听力答案解析

Question 1(passport)photos/(passport)photographs.题目中出现情态动词“must”而原文中也出现的同义的情态动词“need”，提示答案是passport photos。

Question 2（a）bank statement.问句中出现了bank statement，且回答是:“that will be fine.”意思是“那是可以的。”由此可以看出答案是bank statement。

Question 3 125（per year）.题目中括号里的内容“without student card”限定了答案，原文中提到的it is free for students but otherwise it is 125 pounds。指的是如果有学生卡是完全免费的，但是如果没有学生卡是125英镑。“otherwise”在这里表示转折。

Question 4 8.转折词“however”提示答案是8 items，而不是12 items。

Question 5 1.50 start at”和“minimum”是同义转换，考生可以根据这个推断出答案。

Question 6 48.“earliest”和“up to”是同义转换，“in advance”和“before you need it”也表达了同样的意思。

Question 7 localpapers/local newspapers.从题目中的national paper和magazine可以判断出此处应该填写的是表示报纸或者杂志的单词。原文中The Guardian，The Times，The Observer都是在全国发行的报纸，是前文中nationals的列举。

Question 8（a）card/cards.首先原文中提到了photocopying facilitie（复印机），而题目中出现的photocopier也是复印机的意思。另外，need和get是同义转换，因而，考生可以推断出答案是card。

Question 9 Grantingham.只要是听力原文中拼出字母的单词就是答案，考生需注意字母的辨音。

Question 10 Friday.听力原文中先出现了一个混淆信息，随后修正为Friday。
