聽(tīng)力原文及翻譯
Good morning and thank you for coming here today. I'd like to bring you up to date with changes in the school that will affect your children.
早上好,感謝您今天的到來(lái)。我想向您介紹學(xué)校的變化,這些變化將影響到您的孩子。
As you know, the school buildings date from various times, some from the 1970s, some from the last five years, and of course Dartfield House is over a century old. It was commissioned by a businessman, Neville Richards, and intended as his family home, but he died before it was completed.
如您所知,學(xué)校建筑的歷史各不相同,有些建于 20 世紀(jì) 70 年代,有些建于最近五年,當(dāng)然,達(dá)特菲爾德大廈已有一百多年的歷史。它是由商人內(nèi)維爾·理查茲委托建造的,原計(jì)劃作為他的家庭住宅,但他在建成前就去世了。
His heir chose to sell it to the local council, who turned it into offices. A later plan to convert it into a tourist information center didn't come about through lack of money, and instead it formed the nucleus of this school.
他的繼承人選擇將其出售給當(dāng)?shù)刈h會(huì),議會(huì)將其變成了辦公室。后來(lái),由于資金短缺,計(jì)劃將其改建為旅游信息中心,但該計(jì)劃并未成功,而是成為了這所學(xué)校的核心。
The school has grown as the local population has increased, and I can now give you some news about the lower school site, which is separated from the main site by a road. Planning permission has been granted for development of both sites.
隨著當(dāng)?shù)厝丝诘脑黾?,學(xué)校規(guī)模不斷擴(kuò)大,現(xiàn)在我可以向您介紹一些關(guān)于小學(xué)場(chǎng)地的消息,該場(chǎng)地與主場(chǎng)地之間有一條道路隔開(kāi)。已獲得開(kāi)發(fā)這兩個(gè)場(chǎng)地的規(guī)劃許可。
The lower school will move to new buildings that will be constructed on the main site, and developers will construct houses on the existing lower school site. Work on the new school buildings should start within the next few months.
小學(xué)將遷至主場(chǎng)地上新建的建筑物,開(kāi)發(fā)商將在現(xiàn)有的小學(xué)場(chǎng)地上建造房屋。新校舍的建設(shè)工作將在未來(lái)幾個(gè)月內(nèi)開(kāi)始。
A more imminent change concerns the catering facilities and the canteen. The canteen is always very busy throughout the lunch period; in fact, it's often full to capacity because a lot of our pupils like the food that's on offer there.
一個(gè)更迫在眉睫的變化涉及餐飲設(shè)施和食堂。整個(gè)午餐時(shí)間食堂總是很忙;事實(shí)上,它經(jīng)常滿員,因?yàn)槲覀兊暮芏鄬W(xué)生都喜歡那里提供的食物。
But there's only one serving point, so most pupils have to wait a considerable time to be served. This is obviously unsatisfactory, as they may have hardly finished their lunch before afternoon lessons start.
但只有一個(gè)服務(wù)點(diǎn),所以大多數(shù)學(xué)生必須等待相當(dāng)長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間才能得到服務(wù)。這顯然不能令人滿意,因?yàn)樗麄兛赡茉谙挛绲恼n程開(kāi)始前才吃完午飯。
So we've had a new food hall built, and this will come into use next week. It'll have several serving areas, and I'll give you more details about those in a minute. But one thing we ask you to do to help in the smooth running of the food hall is to discuss with your children each morning which type of food they want to eat that day, so they can go straight to the relevant serving point.
因此,我們建造了一個(gè)新的食堂,下周將投入使用。它將有幾個(gè)服務(wù)區(qū),我稍后會(huì)向您詳細(xì)介紹這些服務(wù)區(qū)。但為了幫助食堂順利運(yùn)行,我們要求您做的一件事是每天早上與您的孩子討論他們當(dāng)天想吃哪種食物,這樣他們就可以直接去相關(guān)的服務(wù)點(diǎn)。
There won't be any junk food; everything on offer will be healthy. And there's no change to the current system of paying for lunches by topping up your child's electronic payment card online.
不會(huì)有任何垃圾食品;提供的所有食物都是健康的。而且,目前的午餐支付系統(tǒng)沒(méi)有變化,即通過(guò)在線為孩子的電子支付卡充值。
You may be wondering what will happen to the old canteen. We'll still have tables and chairs in there, and pupils can eat food from the food hall or lunch they've brought from home. Eventually, we may use part of the canteen for storage, but first, we'll see how many pupils go in there at lunch time.
您可能想知道舊食堂會(huì)怎樣。我們?nèi)匀粫?huì)在那里擺放桌椅,學(xué)生可以吃食堂的食物或從家里帶來(lái)的午餐。最終,我們可能會(huì)使用食堂的一部分來(lái)儲(chǔ)存食物,但首先,我們會(huì)看看午餐時(shí)間有多少學(xué)生會(huì)去那里。
