第1段
1 .Listen to a conversation between a student and his art professor.
听一段学生和他的艺术教授之间的对话。
2 .S: Thanks for meeting with me, professor Jones. I've decided I want to major in painting, but I was looking through the academic listings for the requirements and I couldn't find them.
学生：感谢您能见我，琼斯教授。我决定要主修绘画，但我在查看学术课程要求列表时，却找不到相关信息。
3 .P: We don't offer a degree in painting or any other strictly studio arts degree. But what we do have is a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree program in art. And in your case, with a concentration in painting.
教授：我们不提供绘画专业的学位，也没有其他纯工作室艺术专业的学位。不过，我们有一个艺术学学士学位课程。就你而言，可以专注于绘画方向。
4 .S: Yeah, I saw that, but it looks like it requires a whole lot of art history. It didn't seem like what I was looking for.
学生：是的，我看到了，但这个课程似乎需要学习大量的艺术史内容。这看起来不是我想要的。
5 .P: Well, it's half studio and half history. That's what's so attractive about the program. By the time students graduate, they'll have a solid overview of art history, and they'll have taken at least six hands on studio courses, too.
教授：嗯，这个课程一半是工作室实践课程，一半是艺术史课程。这正是这个课程的吸引人之处。学生毕业时，他们将对艺术史有全面扎实的了解，并且至少会修读六门实践工作室课程。
6 .S: Uh, I don't know that program is really hard to get into. I mean, you have to go through a whole special admissions process with the selection committee and everything. And then very few people actually make it.
学生：呃，我不知道这个课程是不是真的很难进。我的意思是，你得经过选拔委员会的特殊录取流程之类的。而且实际上只有很少人能被录取。
7 .P: Well, compared to other programs in the department, it is tougher to get accepted, but why not give it a shot? You don't have to apply until the end of your second year. So you still have a lot of time to put together a good portfolio of your artwork, but only include your best work. The selection committee looks very closely at the portfolios. And you'll also want to be sure to take all of the prerequisites. My studio course is required. And you'll have to take one of the introductory art history courses.
教授：嗯，与系里的其他课程相比，它确实更难被录取，但为什么不试一试呢？你直到大二结束才需要申请。所以你还有很多时间整理出一份优秀的作品集，不过只放你最好的作品就行。选拔委员会会仔细查看作品集。你还得确保修完所有的先修课程。我的工作室课程是必修的。而且你得选修一门艺术史入门课程。
8 .S: Does it matter which one?
学生：选哪一门有关系吗？
9 .P: It's up to you. I know which one I'd want to take. Professor Sander's course, 19th century European art. It's been a favorite on campus for years. It's practically a campus institution.
教授：这取决于你。我知道我会选哪一门。桑德教授的课程，19 世纪欧洲艺术。多年来这门课在校园里一直很受欢迎，几乎成了学校的招牌课程。 学生：您知道吗，我这学期想选这门课，但选不了，已经满员了。
10 .S: You know, I tried to take that this semester, but I couldn't, it was already full.
学生：您知道吗，我这学期想选这门课，但选不了，已经满员了。
11 .P: What a surprise! Another semester then. Now, keep in mind that you'll already be doing some readings in 19th and 20th century European art when you take my course. Even though it's a studio course, it's important for students to situate their work in a historical framework. Since most of our student artists are already working within that European tradition.
教授：这可真不出意料！那就下学期选吧。记住，当你上我的课时，你已经会接触到一些关于 19 世纪和 20 世纪欧洲艺术的阅读材料。即使这是一门工作室课程，对学生来说，将自己的作品置于历史框架中也是很重要的。因为我们大多数学艺术的学生都受欧洲传统艺术的影响。
12 .S: What do you mean?
学生：您是什么意思？
13 .P: Well, whether they realize it or not, students in North America are highly influenced by the art they've seen around them all their lives. The majority of that art is from a European tradition, landscapes, portraits.
教授：嗯，不管他们是否意识到，北美的学生一生都深受他们周围所见艺术的影响。其中大部分艺术都源于欧洲传统，比如风景画、肖像画。
14 .S: Oh, I see, I noticed that you use Gardeners' History of Art as your main textbook. I already have a copy, but it's an earlier edition. Would I be able to use it?
学生：哦，我明白了。我注意到您把《园丁艺术史》作为主要教材。我已经有一本了，但版本比较旧。我还能用吗？
15 .P: How old is it?
教授：是哪一年的版本？
16 .S: Um, it's from 1995. P: 1995, wow, art has changed a lot since then, particularly in what is considered art. Later editions have a more expansive perspective of what art is, giving fuller treatments to things such as jewelry, coins, pottery, and so forth.
学生：嗯，是 1995 年的。 教授：1995 年的，哇，从那以后艺术发生了很大变化，尤其是在对艺术的定义方面。新版本对艺术的定义有更广泛的视角，对珠宝、硬币、陶器等事物有更全面的论述。
