2 .Oh, the official term's "audience," right?

恩，官方术语应该是叫做受众，对吗？

3 .I never imagined that one company could have over 30 audiences to communicate with.

我从来没想过一个公司可以与三十多个受众客户进行沟通。

2 .And some public-relations consultants don't figure it out till they've worked in the field a while.

而且许多公关顾问直到他们在这一领域工作了一段时间后才意识到这一点。

教授：确实。那么，史黛西，你给我发邮件说你要向我咨询一下研究生院的事情？

1 .<-FEMALE STUDENT:->No, since my undergraduate degree will be in public relations, I've already decided to get a master's degree in marketing. Sorry I wasn't clear.

学生：不是的，因为我将拿到公共关系的本科学位，所以我已经决定研究生时学习市场营销学。不好意思，我说的不够清楚。

我的指教导师建议我学习经济和会计，但是我还真不能确定。

1 .<-MALE PROFESSOR:->About...?

教授：不确定什么？

1 .<-FEMALE STUDENT:->[really hated these courses, found them insufferably boring] Well, I endured accounting and economics in high school. I barely stayed awake, they were so...

学生：呃，高中的时候我就在会计学和经济学中煎熬着。而我那时候基本不能保持清醒，它们太…

1 .<-MALE PROFESSOR:->[Laughingly interrupts just as she’s about to say the word,“ boring.” Clearly gets that she’s bored to tears by these subjects]OK, OK, I hear ya. [going back to subject at hand]Ah, you say you wanted a master's in marketing. You've got one more semester till graduation.

2 .Have you taken any marketing courses yet?

市场营销更注重销售你的产品或者服务，恩，你知道的，就是通过广告来吸引客户，而且要与客户建立良好的关系。这就是市场系的工作。

3 .PR's all about... it involves relationships, too. That's why I'm saying the two fields overlap.

公共关系就更加广义，它也包括客户关系。这就是我所谓的重叠之处。

2 .I do understand this in theory, but aren't you still selling your product, just in a different way?

这在道理上我很明白，但是你不同样是在以不同的方式进行销售吗？

1 .<-MALE PROFESSOR:->Not necessarily. [Gets a thought to help reinforce this]OK, do you remember that PR strategy I alluded to the other day, the one our university uses, a strategy that doesn't overlap with its marketing strategy?

教授：那不一定。你记得前几天我提到的 PR 战略吗？就是我们大学用的那个战略，它并不与市场营销战略重叠？

1 .<-FEMALE STUDENT:->You mean how the university invites local residents to attend certain lectures and classes for free?

学生：你是指我们学校邀请当地人来免费学习一些特定的讲座和课程是吗？

1 .<-MALE PROFESSOR:->Yeah. This cultivates a sense of goodwill and helps the university avoid becoming isolated from the larger community.

教授：是的，这就形成了一种良好的善意感（意指塑造良好的社会形象）并帮助我们学校避免被大环境所孤立。

2 .Bringing neighbors into our classrooms is good PR, but it's not marketing, since our neighbors aren't our "customers," for the most part.

1 .<-MALE PROFESSOR:->Yeah, but you'll also want to enjoy your work.

教授：会的。但是你也得喜欢你的工作啊。

2 .So, for your electives, why don't you take advertising principles and intro to marketing, which I teach.

研究生学习的学费很高，而这些课程可以让你在决定投身学习市场营销之前对这个领域有一个更好的认识。

1 .<-FEMALE STUDENT:->[lamenting]I wish my advisor had suggested those courses!

学生：如果我的指导教师之前也给我介绍这些课程就好了。

1 .<-MALE PROFESSOR:->Well, I'm somone who's worked in both marketing and PR, so I can offer a different perspective than someone who only teaches.
