Campus Dining Club Announced
Starting this year, the university dining hall will be transformed into The Campus Dining Club for one week at the end of each semester.
be transformed into The Campus Dining Club本句仅提供了 标题的补充信息,食堂变成俱乐部
at the end of each semester.属于补充细节
(以下红色文字为参考答案)
At the end of semester the dinning hall will be functioning as a club for a few days(function执行…的功能)
During the last week of each semester, the dining hall will feature special meals prepared by the university’s culinary arts students.
special meals prepared by the university’s culinary arts students说明了具体的做法,实际上这句话中提供的内容才是本文的话题也就是由烹饪学生来负责准备一些特殊的餐点这里原文中用到了feature,这里可以理解为提供一些特殊餐点或者服务
The culinary students could prepare some special meals for us.
The school feels that this will give students who are studying cooking and food preparation valuable experience that will help them later, when they pursue careers.
从这句话最开头的feels 应该可以感受的到这句话说的是学校的想法即理由,关键信息:
special meals prepared by the university’s culinary arts students给相关专业的学生提供经验(可以帮助他们未来的职业生涯)。
School believes that this experience could help them in their future career相信believe也可以用于替换think)
The university has announced that it will charge a small additional fee for these dinners in order to pay for the special gourmet food ingredients that will be required.
a small additional fee;to pay for the special gourmet food ingredients that will be required.需要因为特殊的食材而额外收费.可以写作
Additional fee will be required to pay for things that will be required.当然,如果你认识goumet food 和ingredients用原词会更好
Now listen to two students discussing the article.
W: Did you see that article?
M: Yeah, and it sounds like a great idea. It's really good for students in that program.
W: Don't they cook in class anyway?
男生先抛出观点,可以初步判断出女生是一个酱油辅助位。并且你听到了good for students 那么可以初步判断底下是讲关于experience的
M: Well, yeah, they do. But, my cousin was in the program a few years ago, and she said that it's very different to cook for a lot of people in that kind of atmosphere than to cook for classmates.
it's very different to cook for a lot of people
理由 1:Cousin 说,(尽管课堂内也有练习)给大多数人做饭和给小部分人做饭还是有很大的区别的。但是这里没有讲明原因,底下还是会说这个话题。
The first reason is that cooking for a lot of people is different than cooking in a class.
W: Why is that?
M: Well, in class you can take your time, but, cooking for more people, there's more pressure, I mean, you're in a rush, people are waiting and it might be easy to make a mistake with all that stress.
there's more pressure; people are waiting; be easy to make a mistake
我们知道了这个点的关键是pressure,听到I mean 我们就知道后面的内容一定还是解释pressure的,是补充细节需要注意,于是这段的三个点罗列如上。
When you cook for a lot of people(你也进行进一步的解释),there is a lot more pressure,because people will be waiting for you and you are there fore easier to make mistakes.
W: Then I'll think you are a bad chef, right?
M: Absolutely!
W: So, OK, it's good practice. But what about the extra cost?
当你听到extra cost,那么对应的是additional fee 接下来讲的就是跟钱相关的了。
M: Well, look at it this way. You've eaten at some of the fancier restaurants in town, right?
W: Yeah, there are some great places to eat around here.
M: Well, these students, they’ll be making fantastic meals and it’s gonna be cheaper than going out to one of those restaurants.
W: Much cheaper, actually.
M: So, you know, it’ll be worth it. The meals will be as good as the ones in those expensive restaurants.
这一段是比较困难的,需要你整体明白这个男生的逻辑,所以不太好把关键词归结出来。
男生先问You've eaten at some of the fancier restaurants in town, right?
女生回答是的。也就是说学生无论如何都得去高级餐厅吃饭。
男生接着说they’ll be making fantastic meals and it’s gonna be cheaper than going out to one of those restaurants.学生做的饭也是很高级的,同时还会便宜,
最后又说as good as the ones in those expensive restaurants表示质量也一样很优秀。
As for the additional necessary cost(你不需要再解释一遍这些费用是为什么的,总结为必须的就可以了),it will be worthy because the dinning club provide food that is as good as the fancy restaurant and even cheaper.
以下是完整的口语答案:
The school’s dining hall plans to feature special meals in the last week of a semester made by culinary students to help them gain experience and also will charge additional fee for the special ingredients.
The man agrees with the school.
Firstly, it is different to cook for a lot of people because it may make the chef feel way more pressure when there are people waiting. He thinks that such activities will certainly help related students to gain valuable experience to help their career.
Secondly, as for the additional fee, the man feel it would worthy. Students will go to fancy restaurants anyway but the price charged by the dining hall is certainly cheaper. The food however is equal to those expensive restaurant.
