Topic: Campus English – Appointment with a Professor
主題: 校園英語 – 與教授有約
對話內容:
A: Hi, Professor Wang. My name's Joe Lee. I have an 11 o'clock appointment.
A: 嗨,王教授。我是李喬。我們11點鐘有約。
B: Yes, Joe. Come in, sit down. What can I do for you this morning?
B: 好的,喬。進來,請坐。今天早上我能為你做什麼?
A: I had a, uh, question about Wednesday's lecture on inflation. My notes aren't too clear. I was wondering if I could, um, ask you a little more about it.
A: 我有一個關於週三通貨膨脹課程的問題。我的筆記不太清楚。我想知道我是否可以,嗯,再請教您一些問題。
B: You sure can! In fact, I’m glad you're here. Remember what I said at the beginning of the semester, the only bad question is the one that stays in your brain. Right?
B: 當然可以!事實上,我很高興你過來問我。記得我在學期初有曾說過:「唯一不好的問題就是從不發問的問題」。對吧?
A: Yeah. Thank you. Uh, anyway. Well, I didn’t quite get the ideas about what causes inflation and deflation. And how can we prepare when both things happen respectively?
A: 是的。謝謝您。呃,我沒有完全了解導致通貨膨脹和通貨緊縮的原因。當這兩件問題個別發生時,我們該如何做好因應呢?
