Excuse me, Dr Johnson. May I speak to you for a minute? Sure. Come in.
您好，约翰逊博士。我能跟您聊一会吗？当然，请进。
I'm Melanie Griffin. I'm taking your course in Population Studies.
我叫梅兰尼。格瑞芬。我是您人口研究课的学生。
Right. Well, Melanie, how can I help you?
嗯，那我能帮你什么呢？
I'm having a bit of trouble with the second assignment, and it's during twelve days.
第二个作业我遇到点问题，还有12天就要交了。
What sort of trouble are you having?
什么问题呢？
Is the assignment question a problem?
是作业题目吗？
Well, that's part of the problem, I'm also having been having trouble getting hold of the books.
嗯，其中一部分吧。我有，其实一直有个问题是找不到需要的书。
I've been to the library several times, and all the books are out.
我已经去过几次图书馆了，所有书都借出了。
Sounds like you should have started borrowing books a bit earlier.
听起来你该早点开始借书啊。
Well, I had a really big assignment due in for another course, and I've been spending all my time on that，and I thought...
嗯，其实是我另外一门课有个大作业要交，我一直把时间都花在那上面，想着......
You might get an extension of time to finish your assignment for me?
在我这，你可以延迟交作业的日期。
If that's possible, but I don't know...
可能吗？但是，我不知道...
Well, yes, it is possible, but extensions are normally given only for medical or compassionate reasons.
嗯是可能的，不过一般延迟日期只批给医疗和私事原因。
Otherwise it's really a question of organizing your study, and we don't like giving extensions to students who simply didn't plan their work properly.
否则这就是你组织学习的问题了，我们也不愿意让一些不会合理安排学习时间的学生延迟交作业。
What did you get for your first assignment? I got eighty-seven percent.
那你上次的作业分数是多少？我拿了87分。
Mm, yes, you did very well indeed, so obviously you can produce good work.
嗯，成绩很好啊。很明显你的作业质量很高。
I don't think I'll need too much extra time, as long as I can get hold of some of the important references.
我不需要延迟太久，只要我拿到一些重要的参考资料。
Well, since you did so well in your first assignment, I prepared to give you an extra two weeks for this one.
鉴于你上次作业做得那么好，我就批你延迟2个星期交吧。
