介紹一下劍橋大學(xué)的中心管理圖書(shū)館

今天的這段對(duì)話，在討論圖書(shū)館，
 
介紹一下劍橋大學(xué)的中心管理圖書(shū)館

來(lái)聽(tīng)今天的講解:
 
A: Hi, Joanne. I’m thinking about borrowing some books from the University Library, but you know, I am new here，so could you please tell me something about the library?
 
嗨，喬安妮。我正打算去學(xué)校圖書(shū)館借幾本書(shū)呢，但是我是新生，你能不能結(jié)我介紹一下圖書(shū)館啊？
 
B:Of course. Some students said that it is a huge labyrinth.
 
當(dāng)然可以啦。有些學(xué)生說(shuō)，它魷像個(gè)大迷宮。
 
A:Yes. It must not be easy for a new-comer to find what he or she wants.
 
是啊。對(duì)于一個(gè)初來(lái)乍到的人來(lái)說(shuō)，想要找到自己想要的東西肯定不容易。
 
B:Don't worry. At the beginning of every semester, introductory tours would be given by the librarian, explaining the catalogues, shelving arrangements, closed access collections and book-fetching.
 
不要擔(dān)心。每個(gè)學(xué)期開(kāi)始的時(shí)候，大學(xué)圖書(shū)館的管理員都會(huì)義務(wù)舉辦各類主題的圖書(shū)館使用講座，講解圖書(shū)目錄的編排，書(shū)架的擺放規(guī)則，非開(kāi)放類資料和圖書(shū)借取。
 
A:They are really considerate. But I think it will take us some time to get familiar with it
 
他們想得很固到。但是我覺(jué)得，要想熟悉圖書(shū)館，還需要花費(fèi)一定的時(shí)間。
 
B:True. There is an online library floorplan to help you find your way around. The library staffs are very kind; I think they will be pleased to help you.
 
對(duì)。館里還有在線圖書(shū)館樓層安排，你也可以借助這個(gè)找到正確路線。圖書(shū)管理員們也都非常和氣，他們都很樂(lè)意幫忙。
 
A:That's great. Maybe if s better for me to ask the staff for help when I can，t find what Vm looking for.
 
太好了。找不到書(shū)的時(shí)候，我最好還是找他們幫忙。
 
B: Yes. In addition, the library is the centrally-administered library of the University of Cambridge and comprises five separate libraries.
 
是啊。這個(gè)圖書(shū)館是劍橋大學(xué)的中心管理圖書(shū)館，共有5個(gè)分館。
 
A: Five separate libraries?
 
5個(gè)分館？
 
B: Yes. They are the University Library main building, which is commonly referred to simply as “the UL”，the Medical Library, the Betty and Gordon Moore Library, the central Science Library and the Squire Law Library.
 
是啊，圖書(shū)館的主樓，通常被簡(jiǎn)稱為"UL”，醫(yī)學(xué)圖書(shū)館，貝蒂和戈登摩爾圖書(shū)館，中心科學(xué)圖書(shū)館和法學(xué)圖書(shū)館。
 
A:Who can use the Library?
 
誰(shuí)可以使用這些圖書(shū)館呢？
 
B: All members of the University of Cambridge are welcome to use the library. Besides, academic staff and research students from other universities, private and business researchers may apply to use the library for reference*
 
所有劍橋大學(xué)的成員都可以使用。另外，其他大學(xué)的從事科學(xué)研究的教職工或者學(xué)生，其他私人和商業(yè)機(jī)構(gòu)研究員也可以申請(qǐng)使用劍橋的圖書(shū)館。
 
A: Does the library charge any fee?
 
那圖書(shū)館收費(fèi)嗎？
 
B: It is not free to eveiybody. A 10 pounds administration charge for 6 months applies to applicants from non-UK universities and the public.
 
圖書(shū)館并不是對(duì)每個(gè)人都免費(fèi)。非英國(guó)大學(xué)的申請(qǐng)人和公眾需要繳納10英鎊，這是半年的費(fèi)用。
 
A: Not expensive. I guess the library must have covered all the subjects in human history.
 
這并不貴。我想圖書(shū)館的書(shū)籍肯定包括了人類歷史上所有的學(xué)科。
 
B: You are right. There are many precious copies of the ancient works.
 
你說(shuō)的對(duì)。圖書(shū)館里還有很多古籍。
 
A: I heard that it is a legal deposit library, what does this mean?
 
我聽(tīng)說(shuō)它是法定書(shū)庫(kù)，不知道這是什么意思？
 
B: It means that it is entitled to claim a copy of every publication in printed form published in the UK and Ireland. Almost all of this material is claimed and can be consulted in the library.
 
這就是說(shuō)，它有權(quán)利要求所有在英國(guó)和愛(ài)爾 蘭出版的圖書(shū)都交送一份紿它。我們可以在圖 書(shū)館里找到所有的這類材料，并進(jìn)行使用。
 
A: That's great!
 
太棒了！
 
B: It also holds extensive collection of books, journals, maps, microfilms, photographs and sound recordings published overseas and has extensive special collections of rare books, manuscripts, and other materials.
 
圖書(shū)館里還有大量圖書(shū)、期刊、地圖、縮影膠片、照片和海外音像資料，更有許多的孤本，手稿和其他材料。
 
A: It's no wonder that scholars all over the world want to come to Cambridge and meanwhile so many world-famous scholars and scientists who have made great contribution have spent part of their life studying in Cambridge.
 
所以，世界各地的學(xué)者都想到劍橋來(lái)，而許多聞名世界的學(xué)者和科學(xué)家都曾經(jīng)在劍橋待過(guò)，就一點(diǎn)也不奇怪了。
 
B: Absolutely.
 
對(duì)啊。
 
A: When is it open? I am afraid it is closed now.
 
圖書(shū)館什么時(shí)候開(kāi)，我怕它現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)關(guān)了。
 
B: Let me see. No, you still have the time. It won't be closed until 19: 00 from Monday to Friday. If it is on weekends, you should be more careful with the time. On Saturdays it will be closed at 5 pm and it is closed on Sundays.
 
我看看。還沒(méi)呢，還有時(shí)間。周一到周五是晚上七點(diǎn)關(guān)門。但如果是固末，你就得注意點(diǎn)時(shí)間了。周六是晚上5點(diǎn)關(guān)門，周日閉館。
 
A: I see. I'd better hurry up now.
 
知道了，我得快一點(diǎn)了。
 
B:. Don't forget to take your University ID Card with you. It's all you need to start using tiie Library.
 
別忘了帯上學(xué)生證，這可是使用圖書(shū)館必不可少的東西。
 
A: I won't. Thanks for your information!
 
好，謝謝你告訴我這么多！
