校園英語的情景對話
在校園中,在輕松的的心情下,更能輕松進(jìn)行英語對話。下面是學(xué)習(xí)啦小編給大家整理的校園英語情景對話,供大家參閱!
校園英語情景對話:烏希大廈
J: Marvelous! I have not attended such a fantastic concert before.
J:真是太棒了!我從沒聽過這么好的音樂會。
A: Nor have I. It will be better if we could be on the scene to have a close contact with so many brilliant talents.
A:我也沒有。要是能有機(jī)會到現(xiàn)場看一下,效果會更好,還能接觸許多音樂名人。
J: Yeah. There will be better acoustics in that case .
J:是的,那樣的話音響效果也更加完美。
A: Well. Where this concert is held? The hall is so splendid and magnificent.
A:你知道這場音樂會在哪舉辦的嗎?大廳真是雄偉壯觀啊。
J: It is held in the Woolsey Hall at Yale University. Did you hear of it?
S:這是在耶魯大學(xué)的烏希大廈里舉行的,你聽說過這個地方嗎?
A: Just a little. I never went there and I also have little knowledge of it. It seems that you know well about it. I’m all ears. Come on!
A:只是略有耳聞。我并沒有去過那里,所以知道的不是很清楚??雌饋砟銓λ硅?了解的,快說吧,我聽著呢。
J: Oh. I know that the Woolsey Hall is the primary auditorium facility at Yale University. The venue was built in 1901 to commorate Yale’s bicentennial celebration.
J:我知道烏希大廈是耶魯大學(xué)的主要禮堂。該禮堂是于1901年為耶魯200周年校 慶而建造的。
A: And the designer?
A:設(shè)計者是誰呀?
J: It was Carrere and Hastings, the designers of the New York Public Library who designed the Woolsey Hall.
J:是建筑師卡雷爾和黑斯廷斯,他們也是紐約公共圖書館的設(shè)計師。
A: Like other buildings at Yale, it has existed for a long time.
A:同耶魯其他的建筑一樣,烏希大廈已有上百年的歷史了。
J: Yeah. Since its founding, it has undergone some major transformation. The venue now has a seating capacity for 2,695 guests and is used by the school of Music, Yale Symphony Orchestra for concerts, shows and recitals.
J:是的。自從建成以來,烏希大廈已進(jìn)行了幾次大的修繕。現(xiàn)在的場館能夠容納 2695名觀眾,并用于音樂學(xué)院及交響樂團(tuán)舉辦的各種音樂會,演出及演奏會。
A: I see. Then the facility is a major asset to the university and serves as an important venue in the art and culture scene.
A:我明白了。那么烏希大廈可以說是耶魯大學(xué)的一個寶貴財產(chǎn),是藝術(shù)文化交流的中心。
J: You are right. Looming above and behind the Woolsey Hall stage is the Newberry Memorial Organ, one of the most renowned orchestral organs in the world. The ornately decorated hall is home to the Newberry Memorial Organ and it serves as the main performance venue for the New Haven Symphony Orchestra,the Yale Bands, the Yale Symphony Orchestra, the Yale Philharmonia, the Yale Glee Club, and many smaller, student-run ensembles such as a cappella singing groups and the Davenport Pops Orchestra.
j:說得對。世界上最富盛名的紐貝爾管弦樂隊就在烏希大廈舞臺的后方。裝飾華麗的烏希大廳是紐貝爾管弦樂隊的所在地,同時也是紐黑文交響樂團(tuán)、耶魯大學(xué)的 樂隊、耶魯大學(xué)交響樂團(tuán)、耶魯大學(xué)愛樂交響樂團(tuán)、耶魯含唱團(tuán)以及許多較小的 學(xué)生團(tuán)體,如無伴奏樂團(tuán)歌唱團(tuán)體和達(dá)文波特流行音樂樂團(tuán)的主要演出場所。
A: It is a perfect place for those who like music.
A:這對于愛好音樂的人來說可是個非常不錯的地兒。
J: Yeah. The Woolsey Hall offers a platform for students who have a great liking for music to bring their talent to the best. There are 3 big ensembles at Yale. The Yale Concert Band is Yale’s finest classical wind players; The Yale Precision Marching Band is the funniest and most spirited group ever to set foot in New Haven, and Yale Jazz Ensemble hosts a swinging jazz community. They comprise more than 130 individuals and make more than 60 appearances per year.
J:是的。烏希大廈為熱愛音樂的學(xué)生們提供了一個盡情展現(xiàn)其音樂才華的平臺。耶 魯大學(xué)有三個大型樂隊:耶魯大學(xué)室內(nèi)樂團(tuán)是耶魯最好的古典管樂器演奏團(tuán)體;耶 魯大學(xué)銅管儀仗樂隊是紐黑文地區(qū)最具幽默和最富活力的音樂團(tuán)體;耶魯爵士樂 團(tuán)則是搖擺爵士的樂園。它們由130名學(xué)生組成,每年有60多場演出。
A: The Woolsey Hall and these bands must be very important in Yale’s musical world in general.
A:烏希大廈和這些樂隊在耶魯?shù)囊魳肥澜缋锱e足輕重啊。
J: You are right. Besides brands at Yale, as we have mentioned, the famous Newberry Memorial Organ also regards Woolsey Hall as its home. You know, the Newberry Memorial Organ is also called the Woolsey Hall Organ.
J:是這樣的。除了耶魯大學(xué)的樂隊外,我們之前提過的著名的紐貝爾管弦樂隊也把 烏希大廈作為自己的陣地。要知道,紐貝爾管弦樂隊還被稱為烏希管弦樂隊。
A: That’s for sure. The hall’s lack of draperies,carpeting and upholstered seats all contribute to its superior acoustics for musical performance, though the acoustics work far more in favor of the organ than for any other sound. So the Woolsey Hall does really a big favor to the Woolsey Hall Organ’s reputation. The organ now contains 12,617 pipes, comprising 197 ranks and 166 stops and becomes one of the largest organs in the world.
A:這是理所當(dāng)然的。烏希大廳內(nèi)設(shè)有窗簾、地毯、座位,也沒有套子,這些有肋 于音樂演奏的高質(zhì)量的音響效果,對一個樂隊來說,音響設(shè)備比其他聲音更為重 要。烏希大廈很大程度上造就了紐貝爾管弦樂隊的聲名遠(yuǎn)播。該管弦樂隊現(xiàn)擁有 12617只管風(fēng)琴,包括197個等級和166個調(diào)音箱,是世界上最大的管弦樂隊。
J: Woolsey Hall is really the paradise of the musicians.
J:烏希大廈還真是音樂家們的天堂。
A: Exactly. The renowned Newberry Memorial Organ and Woolsey Hall, the resonant acoustics of the organ’s home, are Yale University’s twin treasures embodied in the world
A:確實(shí)是這樣。聲名遠(yuǎn)揚(yáng)的紐貝爾管弦樂隊和音響效果極佳的烏希大廈,共同構(gòu)成 了耶魯享譽(yù)全球的兩個寶貴財富。
校園英語情景對話:留學(xué)教育先驅(qū)容閎
J: Hi, Kate, I've heard that you’re preparing to study abroad. Which university have you applied to?
J:凱特,聽說你準(zhǔn)備到國外學(xué)習(xí),你申請了哪所大學(xué)?
K: I have applied to Yale University.
K:我申請了耶魯大學(xué)。
J: Will you go there alone?
J:你一個人去嗎?
K: Yes, I’ll be there alone in a one-year program. I’ve never been outside China. I’ll miss you.
K:是啊,我一個人去那兒一年。我從來沒出過國,我會想你的。
J: You can send E-mails to me. And there are many Chinese students studying at Yale. They will become your new friends. You will not feel lonely.
J:你可以綰我發(fā)電子郵件。耶魯有許多中國學(xué)生,他們會成為你的新朋友。你不會 覺得狐單。
K: You're right. By the way, do you know the first Chinese student who graduated from Yale University?
K:是啊,對了,你知道從耶魯畢業(yè)的第一個中國留學(xué)生嗎?
J: I’m not quite sure. You must be quite familiar.
J:我不知道。你一定很熟悉了。
K: You bet! It’s Yung Wing. He was an ardent patriot of modem China and a pioneer who encouraged learning from the west. Upon graduation from Yale, Yung Wing was offered opportunities to stay in the United States, but urged by his desire to apply what he had learned to the well-being of his motherland, he rejected the offers and returned to China.
K:當(dāng)然。是容閎。他是近代中國忠誠的愛國者和向西方學(xué)習(xí)的先驅(qū)。為了用自己的 知識報效祖國,從耶魯畢業(yè)后,容閎毅然拒絕了留在美國的機(jī)會,回到了祖國的 懷抱。
J: You feel proud of him.
J:你以他為榮。
K: Yes. Once he said, “I often wished I had never been educated, as education had unmistakablyenlarged my mental and moral horizon, and revealed to me the responsibilities which the sealed eye of ignorance can never see, and sufferings and wrongs of humanities to which an uncultivated andcallous nature can never be made sensitive. I had started out to get an education. What am I going to do with my education?”
K:是的。他曾說過:"我常常想,我要是沒受過教育就好了,因?yàn)榻逃@然開闊了我 精神和道德的視野,而且向我揭示了各種責(zé)任——那些無知者被蒙蔽的眼睛永遠(yuǎn) 看不見的責(zé)任,也揭示了人類所受的苦難以及所犯下的惡行——未受過培養(yǎng)的、 麻木的人們永遠(yuǎn)也不可能感覺到這些苦難和邪惡。我已經(jīng)開始接受教育。我要用 我受到的教育去做什么呢? ”
J: So what’s his answer?
J:那他是怎么回答的呢?
K: I’m impressed by his answer, “I was determined that the rising generation of China should enjoy the same educational advantages I enjoyed, so that through western education China might be regenerated, become enlightened and powerful.This was his dream that had far-reaching impact on China. He tried to persuade the Qing Dynasty government to send young Chinese to the United States to study. With the government’s eventual approval, 120 young Chinese students were sent to study in America beginning in 1872. Many of the students later returned to China and made significant contributions to China’s civil services, engineering, and the sciences, including the Father of China’s Railroad,Jeme Tien Yow.
K:他的回答令我為之動容我下定決心,中國新的一代人應(yīng)該享受我享受過的教育。 通過西式教育,中國有可能振興起來,變得開明和強(qiáng)大。”這就是他的夢想,并 且對中國產(chǎn)生過深遠(yuǎn)的影響。他努力說服清政府派遣學(xué)生赴美學(xué)習(xí)。清政府最終 釆納了他的建議,從1872年開始先后派遣了 120名留學(xué)生赴美學(xué)習(xí)。這一枇留 學(xué)生回國后對于中國之現(xiàn)代化均有貢獻(xiàn),其中包括中國鐵路之父一詹天佑。
J: I’m also interested in him.
J:我也對他感興趣了。
K: You can read the book My Life in China and America written by Yung Wing to know more about him.
K:你可以讀他的自傳《西學(xué)東漸記》,加深對他的了解。
J: OK. Is the procedure for applying to a university in the USA complicated?
J:好啊。申請美國大學(xué)的手續(xù)復(fù)雜嗎?
K: I don’t think it’s complicated. First of all,you should fill out an application form and send arecommendation letter along with your application to the university. Then, after you get theacceptance letter from the university, you should take your visa application and the acceptance letterto the U.S. Embassy for a visa interview. If you get the visa, you can go to the university.
K:我覺得不太復(fù)雜。首先填寫申請表,將申請表和推薦信一起寄往要申請的大學(xué); 收到大學(xué)的錄取通知書后,帶著簽證申請和錄取通知書去美國大使館進(jìn)行簽證面 試;獲得簽證后,就可以去上學(xué)了。
J: Oh, it’s so complicated for me. Have you booked the ticket?
J:對于我來說太復(fù)雜了。你訂機(jī)票了嗎?
K: Yes. I'll fly in five days.
K:訂了。五天之后的飛機(jī)。
J: You will realize your dream soon.
J:你很快就能實(shí)現(xiàn)夢想了。
K: Yes. It’s a big deal for me! It is my dream to get into Yale.
K:是啊。對于我來說真是一件大事。我的夢想就是能進(jìn)入耶魯大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)。

K: I see. This is the reason why his statue was built at Zhang Jiakou south station. It is tocommemorate the works of him.
K:我知道了。這就是為什么他的雕像建在張家口南站的原因;是為了紀(jì)念詹天佑所 做出的貢獻(xiàn)。
J: Right. In 1878,Jeme Tien Yow was admitted to Yale University. His major was Civil Engineering, with an emphasis on railroad construction. Jeme Tien Yow received his bachelor’s degree in 1881. He was also said to be an advisor of the construction of the Kowloon-Canton Railway.

K: So he is often called the Father of China’s Railroad.
K:所以他被稱為“中國鐵路之父”。
J: Yes. Jeme Tien Yow was also responsible for setting many railroad standards that are still in force in China today. He was also the founding member of the China Institute of Engineers. Jeme Tien Yow was awarded an honorary doctorate degree by the University of Hong Kong in 1916. A museum was established near the Qinglongqiao railway station to memorize him.
J:對。詹天佑還厘定了許多現(xiàn)在中國仍在使用的鐵路工程標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。他也是“中華工程 師學(xué)會”的創(chuàng)始人之一。1916年,香港大學(xué)授予他榮譽(yù)博士學(xué)位。為了緬懷詹天 佑,青龍橋火車站附近建有詹天佑紀(jì)念館。
K: I want to visit his museum.
