今天的這段對(duì)話,在討論耶魯大學(xué)300周年慶,
 
耶魯大學(xué)300周年慶典開幕的那天發(fā)生了什么
 
來(lái)聽今天的講解:

 
A: Tom, look at this picture, how crowded the scene is!
 
湯姆,看這張照片,真是人山人海啊。
 
B: Yeah, a very joyful occasion. I guess it was taken on the day of the official opening of an anniversary.
 
嗯,是非常熱鬧歡快的場(chǎng)面。我猜,這張照片是在某周年紀(jì)念的開幕式上拍的。
 
A: That day was Saturday, October 21,2000 when Yale opened its door to the public.
 
那天是2000年10月21日,星期六,耶魯大學(xué)向公眾打開了它的大門。
 
B: Oh, yeah! I still remember the kick-off celebration on that day, behind-the-scenes tours, art and musical performances, games and even appearances by bulldogs. Thousands enjoyed the daylong celebration.
 
哦,對(duì)!我還記得那天的啟動(dòng)儀式、后臺(tái)參觀活動(dòng)、藝術(shù)及器樂演奏、小游戲, 甚至還有一隊(duì)斗牛犬亮相。成千上萬(wàn)的人沉浸在慶典的歡樂中。
 
A: Yup. The scenes of that day are clearly appearing in my mind as if it just happened yesterday. Banners were strung across the busy New Haven streets with people everywhere.
 
是啊,那天的場(chǎng)景歷歷在目,仿佛發(fā)生在昨天一樣。紐黑文街上人潮涌動(dòng),彩旗飄揚(yáng)。
 
B: I read the newspapers the other day. To my surprise, the opening weekend of Yale tercentennial celebrations drew a crowd of over 35,000.
 
我看過(guò)報(bào)紙,耶魯大學(xué)300周年慶典開幕的那個(gè)周末,聚集了35000人,讓人很是震驚。
 
A: Oh, my! I only remember that there were many people moving around me on that day, but it was unimaginable to have so many people gather together.
 
噢,天哪!我只記得那天人很多,但沒有想到聚集的人數(shù)會(huì)有這么多。
 
B: Yes. Sally,do you remember the special cake on the opening ceremony?
 
就是啊,莎莉,你還記得開幕儀式上的那個(gè)蛋糕嗎?
 
A: The cake? Oh, yeah, the cake which was shaped like a part of the campus where the first-year students used to live.
 
蛋糕?噢,想起來(lái)了,就是那個(gè)做成第一屆學(xué)生曾生活過(guò)的老校園的樣子的蛋糕。
 
B: Right! You have a terrific memory.
 
是的,你的記憶力很棒。
 
A: Thank you.
 
多謝夸獎(jiǎng)。
 
B: Do you know the size of that cake?
 
你知道那個(gè)蛋糕的大小嗎?
 
A: I don’t know the size, but I heard that the cake weighed about 300 pounds. How big it was!
 
我不清楚它的尺寸,但我聽說(shuō)大約有300磅重,那得多大啊!
 
B: On the opening ceremony, many students joined President Levin to slice the large cake. I have been wondering who had eaten that cake finally.
 
在開幕儀式上,是學(xué)生們與萊文校長(zhǎng)一起切開的那個(gè)大蛋糕。我一直納悶最后是誰(shuí)吃了它。
 
A: Maybe by the president. Just leave it at that.
 
也許是校長(zhǎng)吃了吧,這個(gè)問題不需討論吧。
 
B: OK. What’s more, there were a range of amazing events throughout the year: special lectures, publications, concerts and exhibits. Your alma mater had a wonderful birthday.
 
好吧。那一整年都排滿了有趣的活動(dòng),像專場(chǎng)講座、公共出版物、音樂會(huì),還有 展覽會(huì)。你的母校度過(guò)了一個(gè)精彩的生日。
 
A: Yeah, exactly. Someone told me that at that time virtually every school, academic center, all museums, and collections sponsored special events to mark the occasion.
 
對(duì)啊,有人說(shuō),為了這次慶典,實(shí)際上每個(gè)學(xué)院、學(xué)術(shù)中心、所有的博物館,還 有募捐處都協(xié)助舉辦了活動(dòng)。
 
B: So the celebration was a splendid and perfect feast for us to enjoy.
 
所以說(shuō),這次慶典簡(jiǎn)直就是一場(chǎng)盛宴。
 
A: Right now, I am feeling very proud of being a member of Yale University.
 
此時(shí)此刻,我感覺身為耶魯?shù)囊粏T非常自豪。
 
B: Here, these pictures show the last several days of the yearlong anniversary. This one is about the Tercentennial Convocation held on 5 October, 2001. Do you remember that day?
 
看這兒,這幾張是固年紀(jì)念最后幾天拍的。這一張拍的是2001年10月5號(hào)那天 舉行的300周年紀(jì)念集會(huì)活動(dòng),你還記得嗎?
 
A: Of course, that is a formal ceremony. Members of the Yale Community, returning alumni, and representatives from sister institutions processed to Yale’s Cross Campus for a convocation commemorating the University’s founding.
 
當(dāng)然記得,那是一場(chǎng)正式的典禮。耶魯大學(xué)社區(qū)成員、回校的校友,還有來(lái)自姐 妹院校的一些代表都列隊(duì)前行,來(lái)到耶魯?shù)氖中涡@,參加紀(jì)念耶魯建校的集
 
B: You know that on that day, I failed to get a ticket for entering the Yale Bowl where the events took place. So I just watched the ceremony broadcast live on Yale cable.
 
你知道的,那天我沒有弄到進(jìn)體育場(chǎng)的門票,好多活動(dòng)都在那里舉行呢,所以我 只能在耶魯電臺(tái)看直播了。
 
A: Oh, poor boy. Anyway, you have joined many other activities.
 
可憐的孩子。話說(shuō)回來(lái),你也參加過(guò)許多活動(dòng)了。
 
B: Yeah, I'm working hard to be a Yalie as you are.
 
是的。我一直在努力學(xué)習(xí),爭(zhēng)取能像你一樣成為一個(gè)耶魯人。
