1 .<-NARRATOR:->Listen to part of a conversation between a student and an employee at the campus store.
旁白：请听一段学生和大学商店雇员之间的对话。
第2段
1 .<-FEMALE STUDENT:->I like those ceramic coffee mugs you have on display at the other end of the store. Were they made by students?
学生：我喜欢你展示在这家店那一边的陶瓷咖啡杯。它们是学生做的吗？
2 .<-MALE PROFESSOR:->Oh, we only use certain suppliers, wholesalers who’ve been selected by the store manager.
雇员：哦，我们只使用商店经理挑选的某些供应商和批发商。
第3段
1 .<-FEMALE STUDENT:->Do you ever sell things made by students?
学生：那你们卖过学生制作的东西吗？
2 .<-MALE PROFESSOR:->We use preferred vendors only because, I mean… if we said yes to one student, we’d have to say yes to any student who asks. And the store’s only so big!
雇员：我们只和首选的生产商合作，因为我的意思是……如果我们答应了一位学生的请求，那我们就需要答应其余每一个学生的请求。但是这家店就这么大。
3 .<-FEMALE STUDENT:->Hmm, that’s too bad, cause, um, I make these pretty ceramic bowls, I design them myself, I’m a studio art major.
学生：太糟糕了，因为我自己制作了这些漂亮的陶瓷碗，我自己设计的，我是室内艺术专业的。
4 .Anyway...um...I was hoping I could sell them here. Y’see, I’m taking Art 202, "Marketing your Art." And for my final project, I need to find a way to sell my own artwork.
无论如何，我希望我可以在这里售卖它们。你看，我在修读艺术202课程—也就是如何推销你的艺术作品。为了我最后的项目，我需要找办法卖掉的自己的艺术作品。
第4段
1 .<-MALE PROFESSOR:->Hmm… What about selling online? A lotta art and crafts are marketed that way.
雇员：嗯……在网上卖怎么样？很多艺术品和工艺品都这样卖。
2 .<-FEMALE STUDENT:->I really don’t have the computer skills, or the time to manage a Web site.
学生：我真的不具备经营一个网站的计算机技能，也没时间这么做。
第5段
1 .<-MALE PROFESSOR:->What about the Emporium? you know, that gift shop downtown? I’ve seen items by local artists there.
雇员：那去商场怎么样？你知道，就是放到市中心的礼品商店去售卖？我在那里看到过当地艺术家的作品。
2 .<-FEMALE STUDENT:->The Emporium buys directly from artists?
学生：他们直接从艺术家手里进货吗？
3 .<-MALE PROFESSOR:->Well, they sell items on consignment.
雇员：他们是寄售的。
4 .<-FEMALE STUDENT:->Consignment… I think my professor mentioned that.
学生：寄售……我记得我的教授提过这个词。
第6段
1 .<-MALE PROFESSOR:->Yeah, you give them some items to sell on your behalf, and then you and the store split the purchase price.
雇员：是的，你给他们一些物品，以你的名义卖，然后你和商店瓜分收入。
2 .But they wouldn’t pay you anything up front if that’s what you want. And you might need to provide your own display case.
但是他们是不会提前给你任何费用的，如果这是你想要的话。你可能还需要自己提供展示柜。
第7段
1 .<-FEMALE STUDENT:->Oh, I already have a display case, a portable one with three shelves.
学生：哦，我已经准备好展示柜了，是一个便携式的柜子，带着三个架子。
2 .But aren’t the shops that would, you know, just buy stuff from me outright? Cause, if not enough bowls are sold, how would I recoup the cost of my materials? They’re not cheap… and neither was the case!
但是这些商店难道不是……你知道，不是直接从我手里买吗？因为如果卖不出足够数量的碗的话，我要怎么收回我原材料的费用呢？它们并不便宜...展示柜也不便宜！
第8段
1 .<-MALE PROFESSOR:->All the stores around here that sell craft items are small and independently owned, like the Emporium.
雇员：这里所有出售工艺品的商店都很小，而且都是独立经营的，比如商场。
2 .For them, selling on consignment lowers their risk; they don’t get stuck with unsold items, they can return them to the owner.
对于它们来说，寄售可以降低它们的风险，它们不需要担心货物卖不出去堆积在店里，它们可以把货物返还给卖家。
3 .You just have to make sure you set a retail price high enough to make it worth your while.
你只需要确保零售价足够高，以符合你的期望。
4 .But you’re right, consignment isn’t for everyone. What about the spring craft fair? Y’know, that outdoor market that’s held on Saturdays?
但是你是对的，寄售不一定适合每个人。春季工艺品集市怎么样？你知道每周六举办的露天集市吗？
5 .Plenty of local people sell their stuff there, ceramics, jewelry, decorative items… The vendor fee is nominal, I believe.
很多当地人在那里售卖他们的物品，比如陶器，珠宝，装饰物...摆摊费基本上只是象征性地收取。
第9段
1 .<-FEMALE STUDENT:->Oh yeah, I remember seeing that last year… all those tables lined up in that vacant lot on Main Street, right?
学生：哦，好的。我记得去年见过这个集会...在主大街的空地上排列了很多桌子，对吗？
2 .<-MALE PROFESSOR:->Right! Since the craft fair’s only a few blocks from campus, it seems like a good place for students to sell things.
雇员：对的。因为这个工艺品集会离大学只有几个街区远，这看起来是学生卖东西的好地方。
第10段
1 .<-FEMALE STUDENT:->Do you know how it works?
学生：那你知道具体要做什么吗？
2 .<-MALE PROFESSOR:->I think you just rent a space and set up a table to display your bowls on.
雇员：我想你就直接去找个空地，支起桌子来，然后把你的碗摆上就行了。
3 .You’d set the prices and keep all the profits.
你自己定价格，自己获得所有利润。
第11段
1 .<-FEMALE STUDENT:->Seems doable. But, hmm… I don’t have a car to haul everything down there.
学生：好像挺可行的...但是，嗯…我没有车，没法把所有东西拖过去。
2 .<-MALE PROFESSOR:->You could take the campus bus, it goes into town on weekends.
雇员：你可以搭校车，校车周末会进城。
第12段
1 .<-FEMALE STUDENT:->True. But… I’d also have to sit there all day when I should be in the library or the studio.
学生：真的。嗯……但是我还得坐在那儿一整天，这个时间我是需要去图书馆或工作室的。
2 .I don't know… I suppose I could do my reading assignments between customers.
我也不清楚...我想我应该可以在顾客光顾的间隙里做我的阅读作业吧。
