MAN: Hello, Steynford College external course registration, can I help you?

男士：您好，斯泰恩福德学院对外课程报名处，请问有什么可以帮您？

WOMAN: Yeah, I'm ringing to find out about one-day classes next year. I got a leaflet about them in the post but I lost it, and I understand some of the classes are filling up fast, so I might need to book quite soon if I want to go ahead.

女士：嗯，我打电话是想问问明年的那种一日课程。我之前收到过邮寄的宣传册，但给弄丢了。而且我听说有些课报得特别快，要是真想上的话，可能得赶紧报名了。

MAN: Sure. Can you remember which one you were considering?

男士：好的。您还记得当时想看的是哪门课吗？

WOMAN: There were a few actually. I remember there was one on how to make Vietnamese food that sounded good. I think that was on the 13th of January. It cost about 60 pounds.

女士：其实有好几门。我记得有个教做越南菜的，听起来很不错，好像是1月13号。费用大概60英镑。

MAN: Yes, you're right about the date, but it's 59 pounds actually. It's a very popular class, and among other things the teacher explains how Vietnamese food includes lots of different herbs. I'm afraid that all the places are taken at present, but I can put you on the waiting list if you want?

男士：对，日期没错，但其实是59英镑。这门课非常受欢迎，课上老师还会讲到越南菜里怎么用到各种各样的香草。很抱歉，目前名额已经满了，需要我把您加进等候名单吗？

WOMAN: No, that's OK. I'm quite interested in the bread making class. That's in March sometime, isn't it?

女士：不用了，没关系。我对那个面包烘焙课也挺感兴趣的。是在三月的什么时候，对吧？

MAN: Yeah, the 20th of March. Would you like to register for that?

男士：对，3月20号。要现在报名吗？

WOMAN: I'm not sure. How much is it?

女士：我还不确定。多少钱呢？

MAN: The actual cost is £48 but then there's an extra charge as well as that for the ingredients - I'm not sure how much that is, no more than twenty pounds i think.

男士：课程费本身是48英镑，但除此之外还要另收一笔材料费——具体多少我不太清楚，应该不超过20英镑。

WOMAN: So what sorts of things do they make in the class?

女士：那课上都会做些什么东西啊？

MAN: Oh, various types of bread; I think they make white bread and then they make sourdough, that seems to be very fashionable at present, and they learn how to make pizza, which is apparently really good.

男士：哦，各种面包。我记得他们会做白面包，还会做酸面包，这个眼下好像特别流行。还会学做披萨，听说做得还真挺不错的。

WOMAN: Well I'd definitely be interested in that, but there were also a few other classes that sounded interesting. I think there was one on face massage? I'd love to learn how to do that.

女士：嗯，这个我肯定感兴趣。不过当时还有几门别的课听着也挺好的。是不是有个面部按摩的课？我特别想学那个。

MAN: Yeah, that's on the 23rd of February and it costs just £35 for the day. The teacher's great, the type of massage done is a traditional technique used in India and she actually did her training there.

男士：没错，那个是2月23号，一天的费用只要35英镑。老师特别棒，教的是一种印度传统按摩手法，而且她就是在那边受的培训。

The massage is meant to relax you and get rid of lines and wrinkles. You practise it on yourself so you have to take a mirror to the class, so you can see what you're doing.

这种按摩主要是让你放松，消除皱纹和细纹。课上是在自己脸上练，所以得自己带一面镜子，这样才能看清自己的操作。

WOMAN:OK.

女士：好的。

WOMAN: And I think there was a class in candle making?

女士：我记得好像还有个做蜡烛的课？

MAN: Yes that's sometime in April, I think. Let me check... yes, it's on the 6th. It was on the 23rd of January but they had to change the date. It's just £52. That's a popular course too. I think one reason why people like it is because the candles are all made out of natural products. It's filling up fast but there's still a few places left.

男士：对，那个本来是在四月份的什么时候，我想想……对，是4月6号。本来是1月23号，但后来不得不改期了。费用只要52英镑。这门课也很受欢迎，我觉得大家喜欢它的一个原因是，做的蜡烛全都是用天然材料制成的。报名的人很多，不过还剩几个名额。

WOMAN: Yes one of my friends did that class. She said the candles make really good presents. In fact she gave me one.

女士：对，我有个朋友上过这个课。她说做出来的蜡烛特别适合送人，还送过一个给我呢。

MAN: By the way, have you heard about the class on silk painting? That's being held on the 18th of May. You learn how to create designs on silk fabric and colour them using special dyes.

男士：对了，您听说过那个丝绸绘画课吗？那个是5月18号。课上会教怎么在丝绸面料上设计图案，然后用专门的染料上色。

Apparently people can produce beautiful artworks that way, either to put on the wall as a picture or to use for something like a scarf. It's £67.50, which is really good value I think - there's a similar class I've seen that was £110.

听说能做出很漂亮的艺术品，既可以当画挂在墙上，也可以做成丝巾什么的。费用是67.5英镑，我觉得真的特别划算——我见过一个类似的课，要110英镑呢。

WOMAN: That sounds interesting. Would i need to bring the silk.

女士：听着挺有意思。我需要自己带丝绸去吗？

MAN: No, the only thing is everyone has to bring something to protect their clothing, like an apron if you've got one, or a shirt that you don't use any more, because the dye can really stain your clothes.

男士：不用，唯一要带的就是能护住衣服的东西，比如围裙，有的话就带一件，或者带件不穿的旧衬衫也行，因为那种染料真能把衣服染花了。

WOMAN: Right, the last class i was considering was a bit different, that was on the DIY for beginners, i'd like to learn how to do household repairs, other places left on that?

女士：好的。我考虑的最后一门课稍微有点不一样，是那个“零基础家居DIY”。我想学点儿家里修修补补的活儿，那个课还有名额吗？

MAN: That's on the 24th of February - yes, there are a few places. It's a bit more expensive - it's £125 - but it's a very popular class. You learn how to use an electric drill and a saw.

男士：那个是2月24号——对，还有少量名额。费用要稍微贵一些，125英镑，但非常抢手。您会学到怎么用电钻和锯子。

WOMAN: Yeah, that would be really useful, and I even need to learn how to use a hammer because I always end up hitting my fingers.

女士：那肯定特别实用，我连怎么用锤子都得好好学学，因为我老是砸到自己手指头。

MAN: Yes, you'll do that too. And when you've learned how to use the basic tools, you do a practical job which is fixing a shelf to a wall.

男士：那个也会教。等大家学会了基础工具怎么用之后，还要动手做一项实际任务——往墙上装一个搁板架。

WOMAN: Great. Just what I need to know. Right, well I'd like to enrol for that and also for...

女士：太好了，这正是我想学的。行，那我报这门课，还有……
