第一篇长对话主题: 论文 M: How's your dissertation going? I'm proofreading my first draft and will submit it to my professor tomorrow. 你的论文写得怎么样了?我正在校对我的初稿,明天交给教授。 W: Oh. I haven't even started writing mine yet, so I'm really worried about finishing by the end of next semester. 哦。我还没开始写我的,所以我真的很担心下学期结束前写完 M: You mean you haven't even begun yours yet? The final draft is due in five months. 你是说你的工作还没开始?最终稿将在五个月内到期。 W: Of course, I've started it, but I can't get to the writing yet, as I haven't found enough resources to use, so I'm still researching the topic. 当然,我已经开始了,但我还不能开始写作,因为我还没有找到足够的资源来使用,所以我还在研究这个主题。 M: Maybe the problem is the way you're doing your research. I started by talking to my professor about where to look for information. And based on that I found books in the library and a lot of reputable journal articles on the Internet. 也许问题出在你做研究的方式上。我开始和我的教授谈论去哪里寻找信息。在此基础上,我在图书馆里找到了很多书,在互联网上找到了很多有名望的期刊文章。 W: I've tried all that, but don't have enough to write the dissertation, as my department's minimum length is seventy pages. I think the problem is that my topic isn't viable and honestly, my professor did warn me at the beginning that I might not be able to find enough material. But I was so interested in the topic that I didn't let his advice deter me. 这些我都试过了,但是不够写论文,因为我们系的最短长度是70页。我认为问题是我的主题不可行,老实说,我的教授一开始就警告过我,我可能找不到足够的材料。但我对这个话题非常感兴趣,所以我没有让他的建议阻止我。 M: Well, I suggest you find a new topic. After all, our professors are here to guide us, so it's best to listen to them.我建议你换个话题。毕竟,我们的教授是来指导我们的,所以最好还是听他们的。 W: In retrospect, I wish I had listened to him. But I didn't and now I don't want to give up my topic as I've already invested so much time and energy.现在回想起来,我真希望我当时听了他的话。但我没有,现在我不想放弃我的主题,因为我已经投入了这么多时间和精力。 M: If you're committed to your current topic, maybe you could make some adjustments rather than abandoning it completely. What is your topic?如果你致力于当前的主题,也许你可以做一些调整,而不是完全放弃它。你的话题是什么? W: It's depictions of femininity in folklore from the south of the country. 是国家南部民间传说中对女性气质的描述。
