Discussion About The Bauhaus托福听力原文翻译及问题答案

一、Discussion About The Bauhaus托福听力原文：

NARRATOR:Listen to a conversation between a student and an art history professor.

FEMALE STUDENT:Hi,I'm Melissa.I was just a few doors down getting some help in the computer lab.My electronic files won’t open.The technician says it's probably a computer virus.She's working on it now.

MALE PROFESSOR:Yes….From what I've heard,lots of campus computers have been affected.What a first week,huh?

FEMALE STUDENT:I know!Anyhow,I noticed your name on the door as I was walking down the hallway.Thought I'd stop in and,um,find out if you happened to have any additional copies of the class syllabus.The one I received in class the other day is missing a page…

MALE PROFESSOR:Oh,sorry about that….I probably have a few extra printouts on hand.

FEMALE STUDENT:Great!Oh,and I noticed on the syllabus we'll be learning about,and eventually writing a paper on,the Bauhaus style of art?Sounds interesting—I’m looking forward to it!

MALE PROFESSOR:Right.But,…technically,it-it doesn't say“Bauhaus style of art”;it only says,“the Bauhaus.”

FEMALE STUDENT:Oh…?What's the difference?

MALE PROFESSOR:Well,the Bauhaus is not really an artistic style,uh,…like Cubism.It was the name of an art and design school in Germany in the early twentieth century.The Bauhaus was started as an experiment in education...and one groundbreaking technique used in its teaching was that students actively participated in workshops instead of just sitting in classes….

FEMALE STUDENT:Interesting….I don't have much background in art or anything.I am an economics major and am taking this class as an elective.Decided I wanted to broaden my awareness—try something new….

MALE PROFESSOR:Excellent—I'm really glad to hear that!

FEMALE STUDENT:So,…was the focus of the Bauhaus architecture…?I mean,I've studied German,and Bauhaus translates into“house for building”….

MALE PROFESSOR:Well,the founding director was an architect;however,he aimed to combine an incredibly broad variety of fine arts and crafts under one artistic roof.As a matter of fact,when the Bauhaus first opened,it was without an architectural department for several years.But later it became very influential in architecture.

FEMALE STUDENT:So I wasn't all wrong.

MALE PROFESSOR:You'll see on the syllabus that you're required to visit the Rutherford Museum exhibit. The exhibit will help you see that there is no single Bauhaus style!I think it's refreshing that this particular exhibit departs from the standard ways in which art from the Bauhaus is often presented.

FEMALE STUDENT:Which are…?

MALE PROFESSOR:Well,for example,by specific artist.I think it's a mistake to focus on a single Bauhaus artist and that person's individual specialty.I mean,the different artists from the school created different things—fabric,sculpture,furniture,graphic design,paintings,...even theatrical performances!The exhibit in the Rutherford Museum unites all these specialties through connecting themes…such as“motion”or…“the body.”

FEMALE STUDENT:Sounds fascinating!Say,I've heard something about discount nights at that museum…?

MALE PROFESSOR:Weekends're full price.It's typically best to go Thursday nights.That's student discount night—50 percent off.However,next Wednesday is open to the public for free—it's a special promotion.So,I know what I'd do…!

二、Discussion About The Bauhaus托福听力中文翻译：

旁白：听一位学生和一位艺术史教授的对话。

女学生：嗨，我是梅丽莎。我当时就在楼下的电脑实验室里找人帮忙，我的电子文件打不开。技术人员说可能是电脑病毒。她现在正在研究。

男教授：是的…。据我所知，许多校园电脑都受到了影响。多好的第一周啊？

女学生：我知道！不管怎样，我在走廊上走的时候注意到门上有你的名字。我想我会停下来看看你有没有额外的课程大纲。我前几天在课堂上收到的那个缺了一页…

男教授：哦，很抱歉…。我可能手头有一些额外的打印件。

女学生：太好了！哦，我注意到在教学大纲上，我们将学习包豪斯艺术风格，并最终撰写一篇论文？听起来很有趣，我很期待！

男教授：对。但……从技术上讲，它并没有说“包豪斯艺术风格”；它只说“包豪斯”

女学生：哦…？有什么不同？

男教授：嗯，包豪斯并不是一种真正的艺术风格，呃……像立体派。这是20世纪初德国一所艺术设计学校的名字。包豪斯是作为一个教育实验开始的，教学中使用的一项开创性技术是，学生们积极参加研讨会，而不仅仅是坐在课堂上…。

女学生：有趣…。我在艺术或其他方面没有太多背景。我是经济学专业的学生，选修这门课。我决定扩大我的意识，尝试一些新的东西…。

男教授：好极了，听到这个消息我真的很高兴！

女学生：那么，……包豪斯建筑的重点…？我的意思是，我学过德语，包豪斯翻译成“房子换建筑”…

男教授：嗯，创始董事是一位建筑师；然而，他的目标是在一个艺术屋顶下结合各种各样的艺术和工艺。事实上，包豪斯刚开业时，已经有好几年没有建筑部门了。但后来它在建筑界产生了很大的影响。

女学生：所以我没有错。

男教授：你会在教学大纲上看到，你必须参观卢瑟福博物馆的展览&nbsp；展览将帮助您了解没有单一的包豪斯风格！我认为，这件特别的展品与包豪斯艺术通常呈现的标准方式不同，这令人耳目一新。

女学生：哪些是…？

男教授：嗯，例如，由特定的艺术家创作。我认为把注意力集中在一个包豪斯艺术家和那个人的个人特长上是错误的。我的意思是，学校的不同艺术家创作了不同的东西——织物、雕塑、家具、平面设计、绘画，甚至是戏剧表演！卢瑟福博物馆的展品通过连接主题…如“运动”或“身体”，将所有这些特色结合在一起

女学生：听起来很迷人！我听说了博物馆打折夜的事…？

男教授：周末是全价。通常最好是星期四晚上去。这是学生折扣之夜的50%折扣。然而，下周三对公众免费开放，这是一个特别的促销活动。所以，我知道我会做什么…！
